Take NothingA Poem by hanford zdebtake nothing but shoes for your feet. no blade, no billet, no basket. look only to the sky for direction.
leave behind your stout walking stick but carry, peace like fruit in a bowl.
seek only the source of breathing. be thankful for what you're given and keep only what you need.
when the ground breaks at your feet, let true love be the bread you speak of.
let road dust guide you, small bites sustain you, until you are bloodied of foot, despised, distressed in love and singing, a caged woman freed.
listen and you will hear singing in reply. © 2022 hanford zdeb |
