baggage

don’t know how to say it. 

Let it spill like a rainbow 

of color stretched to the horizon 


How my love contained 

I must pack like a plane

full with ill-fitted heavy luggage 


And how every so often 

one comes tumbling out 

with a broken zipper… a ripped seam

And I have to patch it up 

Quick-fix and wrap it tight 

and turn it around hidden and unseen 


I don’t know how to use it.  

Let it comfort instead of hurt 

as my trust is tested to the extreme 


How to know the love and pain 

is kept well and safe 

until I can let all the baggage free


When I can shake the dust out 

Eliminate expired false beliefs 

And keep the treasure I’ve saved within…

Will the value be greater then?
