Poetics # 003

Fill Up

Come, please.
Come take.
Grab your glass, or cup, or even hands
And take.
Fill up.

The world has felt your giving
In parcel, in pieces
The goods, the scraps
The bits you should have kept,
But knew nothing but to give.

Now
Please,
Take.

Allow yourself to take.
This love is yours to have
To replenish your heart,
To fill the hollow,
To grow resplendent and bright
So that you may continue and give again.
You will always give.
But you can learn
Now.
Please,
Take.
