LOVE DOES THAT
All day long a little burro labors, sometimes
with heavy loads on her back and sometimes just with worries
about things that bother only burros.
And worries, as we know, can be more exhausting
than physical labor.
Once in awhile a kind monk comes
to her stable and brings
a pear, but more
than that,
he looks into the burro's eyes and touches her ears
and for a few seconds the burro is free
and even seems to laugh,
because love does
that.
Love frees.

deep within our hearts of hearts
an angel sits there in the dark
clothed in violet , pink and white,
this angel is a being of light.
slowly now he begins to rise
taking to the heavenly skies
goodness and truth have the upper hand
as we become the heavenly man
we laugh with joy as we become
one with the angelic one
