Proof of Life Robes

ice shoulder chips
drip
sink-soak through
hit the heart
a deep deep cold

been carrying 'em
for a while
just kept gettin'
bigger colder

time to banish
unburden
this bent back
with robes
of the proof of life:

love

    I love the imagery here and quite pithy advice for us all.

    Hmm, yes, a monk's struggle. To find love...maybe more to give it...maybe more to pierce the illusion of it.
