....just a staggering down the road

                                                   ||| ( away from the dawn )

and a young kid said to me

WHERE ARE  YOU GOING ?

and I said

I HAVE ALL THE PAIN I CAN TAKE

SO I AM SIMPLY       WALKING ALONG

///

and he said

WHY DONT YOU JUST GO OVER THERE

( pointing towards a Mighty Tree )

SIT DOWN AND HEAL YOURSELF

AND THEN YOU CAN BE

OF SOME USE TO YOURSELF

AND TO THE WORLD

AMD THUS TO ME ?

///

arrogant kid !

I keep walking          (  I am free ! )

But

His heavy gaze upon me turned me round

•

ALRIGHT     I said

Gazed upon the  Tree

Went over and sat down

//

Now

I must say

It wasn't easy

You know

Just to allow myself to actually FEEL

ALL

the PAIN

inside myself

//

In fact

It hurt like hell

•

But

( also )

It was amazing the manner in which

the Pain  released itself

( once the games of blame and shame were gone )

And

( I got to admit )

It really didn't take that long

///

& I thought

100 YEARS OF KARMA GONE

///

I turned to the kid and smiled and said

ALRIGHT

THAT 'S DONE

COME ON

( & turning back to the source of dawn )

I GUESS ITS TIME

TO GO HOME
