PAD 13 - Purpose


Write a purpose poem.


Purpose


Today, again,
I'll stare at the space between
my heart and the window.

Perhaps like an animal
whose cage door has been left open
whose keeper waits for a bolt
into god-given freedoms

I'll stare and wonder
who am I 
if I am no longer not enough
if I am no longer unqualified
or overqualified
if I am neither desirable or even
undesirable

a bubble in the foam
water in water

all the marks are washed away from 
the field

all the nets
taken away

What is my purpose here
if I can only do what I love
only

only
because I love it.

What to do with a ball
when there is no game.
