Casting Your Burdens Upon My Shoulder...

for i am as light
as a cloud
as agile as a
bird on its wings
as flowing as
the river on its
unending journey
as weightless
as a feather,
let me ask you then
to lay your
burden upon me
so i may sink
deeper to the
earth
and having settled
i shall now
exist...
