The load

2781

It was a smooth ride, into the dark: I will never leave you, nor forsake you: 

 

The kindling was dry; you gave the spark...

 

To set the gates of hell on fire-

 

Spirits ridden: no longer the liar; or thief; or back-door man.

 

Nothing lost: you had a plan!

 

The gift that is given, how can it be sold?

 

It's more precious than rubies, silver, and gold.

 

Nothing can compare with it, he lightens our load: as lifts us up, out of the hole.

    A surreal ride from hades to the upper world. Nicely written

  • Friendship

    Well written. Your poem deals with existential struggles, the burden of past sins or misdeeds, and the relief that comes from love, trust, and spiritual guidance.

      Friendship, you have a new image, or was this you in your prime?

      When the load is lightened, you sure feel better.

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Valiantstar, that contrast between descent and rising really stands outโ€ฆ it gives the piece a powerful movement through it. Thereโ€™s a clear shift that holds everything together. Nicely done, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ
