What To Bring

(A collaboration poem with Catrina Heart) What to carry to a cross country? A wallet with cash, credits cards, ATM’s to pay for your expenses….. What to bring to an outing? Food to eat and water to drink to fill in our body needs….. What to take to a meeting? Some papers and pen to take note of the events….. Except for clothes, make up kit, Phone, shoes and camera to pick, What else do we need for our trip? Isn’t it a book for us to read? To enjoy, to learn beyond the words To the fullest, and be filled to the brim To nourish our mind, body and soul And be our company along the way It may be sad, lonely and happy Carry a book, like carrying a friend Sleep on it like a soft pillow in the early morn Live by its words, read and love it like your own Note: thank you, Catrina A privilege to mix ink with you.
