Love's doing

JEAN M. IMMERWAHR

Swallowed
by dailiness of life?
Routine of chores,
the treadmill of
sheer/mere/existence;
the tediousness of
life in matter and
its care-taking-
locked-on-to-
patterns
of boredom/dullness/sleep?

Then, lift your head!
Let Truth and Love
bring sweet release—
not from the tasks,
but from the thoughts
that bind you to the flesh.
Ascend! Rise up, be free!
Then will you do your daily thing
gloriously.

JEAN M. IMMERWAHR
