Sisyphus Whistling

From The Squire’s Quest

Cursed by the gods to push a boulder
Up a slope again and again for eternity,
Sisyphus embodies pointlessness.

What a shock to find him, then,
Whistling. “The task is absurd.
So are they all.
But I am not my task.
I am more. I am Sisyphus.”

So it is for me, except more so.
I am not in Hades, and
My daily tasks are not pointless,
No matter how they seem.

But even if they were, I am not my tasks.
I am more.
New creation. Follower of Christ.
I am Amy.
