Disappointment
I met with Disappointment
We stopped and talked a while
A Heavy Circumstance came along
to complete the trinity’s smile.
We jawed on muscle, fat and bone
tore sinew from its gristle
Came to the tough and chewy bits
sharp edged as bitter thistle
Dividing marrow from the bone
was a messy exercise
when done, Disappointment said to me
“arise, arise, arise!
Go forth now! Life a new to see!
Go shine! Go shine! Go shine!
For today you are free.”
I left him standing there
along with Heavy Circumstance
In turning to a different road,
new birds sang … a merrier dance.
