Give it away

 

Whenever I read a poem that moves me,
I know I'm not alone in the world.

 

How lucky we are
That you can't sell
A poem, that it has
No value. Might
As well
Give it away.

That poem you love
That saved your life
Wasn't it given to you?  

 

- Gregory Orr
from Concerning The Book That Is The Body Of The Beloved
