Some days you can’t
Help but feel like Atlas,
The pressure of the world
Pushing your knees
To buckle.
Fear not, friend,
Lover, stranger!
This is the natural
Course of things.
Such pressure will cause heat
And that heat will cause change;
The very molecules of your spirit
Will fuse into something crystalline
And strong.
Keep your heart golden
And your eyes upward,
Hands formed in the mudra for
Fear Not
Against the stony darkness
You will see that there is
Light coming forward
When you move forever
Upwards
And out.
