POETRY PAGE

We are pulled from pillar to post, and the stretch is painful.

The further the sinew pulls the more we are up to the task.

Fully extended, we don’t think there is another inch to give.

People look and laugh and prod us to go further than we want.

It is apparent the only wish of the people is the enjoyment of our pain.

The pain causes us to withdraw, and the stretch is lessened.

The pain is not related to the stretch but the enjoyment of the act by others.

We realize what people need is to be stretched themselves.

No, the stretch from them will never come because they are shallow.

Shallowness is the result of the lack of their flexibility and understanding.

From our depth the shallowness seems more painful than the stretch.

The wisdom found is that through our elasticity happiness abounds.

Being adaptive is the product of stretching and the result is true happiness.

Elasticity is the fulcrum from which life culminates do not fret from the pain.

The more our fibers are torn the greater the journey is determined to be.

Let your vitality show forth and relish the time in which all is being pulled away.
