Hour 19<\/p>\n

9\/3\/2023<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Borne…”<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you carry?<\/p>\n

Where, why…<\/p>\n

and it means?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I carry a life-worn stone…<\/p>\n

It “said” hi to me<\/p>\n

…from a box behind the vendor –<\/p>\n

that box was closed too,<\/p>\n

and when the vendor asked<\/p>\n

I told him which stone<\/p>\n

and of its being alone in its section,<\/p>\n

and only THEN did he open that box.<\/p>\n

And damned but he understood – and smiled.<\/p>\n

…A rare one he is, was, may still be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There was energy when I “touched” it.<\/p>\n

And the voice has followed me through<\/p>\n

the years… still does – and, ya know,<\/p>\n

I still can’t duplicate its knowing laugh.<\/p>\n
