Poetry: Inspirational

last night on the sea of galilee

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us.
What we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Albert Pine

John 21

i drew a line last night
and then nothing.

you said the other side
and full. and breaking
bread with penetrated hands,
you asked me did i love you.

i dropped my nets to follow
and then everything

you said i tasted,
honey of words whispered
to a kneeling faith that washed
my unclean feet at seder.

you drew a line last night
and then anything

i said else was for myself,
but serving others
leads to immortality.

    Since I regained imagination;
    words won't stop rearranging.
