Good Or Done Poem by Stephen Bennett The Playjurist

Good Or Done



Which is better... to be good or done?

Done is the special quality
of rest after quitting,
with all judgment for now suspended.

Good takes a part of this, but
the excluding of bad
leaves the large and small terrors out
that make a story or bind a lesson,
a laughter, a record, whatever
holds everything that really happened, in place.

Being done is reflective of what
you did, felt and saw: things
to review and relive in you're sitting.
And then begin something new to be good
or done. Soon again to see
the choosing and being of each one.
