Sure in the Knowledge of Outcome

Burdens, like weight upon shoulders,
inhibits steps, sucks energy from our souls,
and as time endures they assimilate,
transform our demeanor,
and we become one with our baggage,
the symbiotic co-joining of limitation.

So complete this can be,
as to caste shadows over life,
make mundane our potential
and the possibilities afforded us;
if only we could see how stifled we become,
when burdens are imbibed in acceptance.

Burdens are what they are,
yet it is our perception of them that dictates,
a challenge far more amenable,
a burden seemingly finite,
so it is we who decide what effect they have,
and in dealing with viewpoints, a lesson.

Balance is our saving grace,
always seeing a path of resolution,
not in action, but acceptance,
and burden indeed can ease
as we face their challenge positively,
and in resolution set us free.

Freedom is a way of life,
to be free from the entanglement of negativism,
to allow the soul to pursue it path
unencumbered and in kindness,
as we create our paths with thought and action,
and it is our decisions that create future.

Burdens are perceivable circumstance,
and how we color those circumstances
is ours to decide, to explore,
and in that, we may simply address
without bias or fear, and move on,
sure in the knowledge of outcome.
