The Yoke

In this moment
The sun shines on my face.
I lose what I was:
Fear
Pain
Anger
Hate
Ignoring the crowds and the clamor,
I trade my burden for yours,
And I am weightless.

I love the way you used "Take my yoke upon you...and you shall find rest"

Feeling weightless is gift indeed.

I like this. There really is something about taking on another's burdens that lightens our own. Funny how that works.
