Short Spiritual Meditation — DSound Recording #2 — "You'll Know" (Original Poem)
You’ll Know
You’ll know you’ve finally arrived when
you get to the point where you can leave
life’s bustling marketplace, empty-handed
Smiling easily at merchants as they hawk their wares
of fruit and flesh, pausing here and there to admire
a fine raiment or strain of song, but not for overlong
You’ll know you’ve cleared a hurdle and are home free
when you emerge at the end of that entrancing fair
unperturbed, without bulging pockets or hungry eyes
With absolutely nothing to show for the day’s visit
but a small inner triumph that quietly manifests itself
in steadying stillness and a companionable aloneness.

Is it wrong that I don't listen to authors read their work? That I need to hear it in my head, in a voice I already know?
And now I long for, desire that ability to travel lightly through life, empty pocketed, grudge less of all that had ever warranted a grudge. Lovely pictures you weave....Even the lonely ones.
Not wrong at all, authors are not aurothities on their poems - only one voice among many...
I wish for you what I wish for myself, that light, grudgeless space. Thanks, for stopping by 🙏🏼
