The Sling Of My Candy Load Has Ggone Loose Poem by Lalleshwari

The Sling Of My Candy Load Has Ggone Loose

Rating: 4.5


The sling of my candy load has gone loose,
(and it galls my back):
My body has bent double under its weight;
how shall I carry the load ?
The word of my Guru
(that I must lose the world to gain my soul),
Has been a painful ''loss-blister'' for me.
I am become a shepherdless flock, ah me!

Love the sense of humor in this piece and what fresh power he wields over description: I am become a shepherdless flock, ah me!
