What Is This Weight? (Poem)

this body this flesh these bones

heavy with suffering carried

sink deeper into the dirt

wrapped with chains of attachment

let go let go

remember the lightness of a feather

that drifts onto an open hand

the love that lifts the heart to soar

winged like a plumate bird

let go let go

you’ve died you’ve flown

now be at ease relax rest

in the infinite expanse of your spacious mind
