Undress, Stand Naked... Poem by Ray Lucero

Undress, Stand Naked...

Rating: 4.7


Learn the alchemy true Mystics know;

The instant you accept hardship given you
Doors open

Welcome adversity, as friend

Make light of what torment offers

Sorrows are but old clothes, indeed rags
Covered by a tattered threadbare coat

Undress thy naked body underneath
Behold the sweetness that comes after grief


ROTMS
