Take nothing By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
take 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,
like fruit in a bowl;
peace.
seek only
the source of my 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 man freed.
listen
and
you will
hear me sing
in reply.
