Carrying the broad shoulders of the world--- <br />This afternoon reveals the tirades of rain... <br />In absolute wonder of the mysteries borne... <br />In awe of the unknowns and its cutting pain; <br /> <br />Raging 'tis the thunder and lightening spurned... <br />Circling in eternal winds that will not pass... <br />Even insects run for cover-removed from continual hover-- <br />Hidden neatly 'neath the green blades O' grass; <br /> <br />These shoulders are oft' overwhelmingly heavy- <br />But as sisters of this Mother Earthed clan-- <br />We are able to find enough grace-in this weighted place-- <br />Mended with haloes of love we forever stand! ;<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/burdens-eased/
