Prayer

Is it wrong to share my meditations
even though I had no altruistic motive
when I wrote them?
My meditations aren’t predations;
they have an almost-votive
motive, do my meditations!
trying to follow whatever indications
make themselves evident in the cloth
of my life, when I write them.
Meditation after mediation, with scant intermission
near to drowning in the froth
of time, my meditations!
My efforts rather lack sophistication,
but without it they can better dive
into the grave of “I wrote them!”
I’ll have to find remediation.
Then I’ll be looking straight at the truth.
It is what it is to share my meditations.
But I won’t quote them!
