Only The Bowl! Poem by Eric Cockrell

Only The Bowl!



i am only the bowl!
i am not the rice.
i am not the fire.
i am not the rain,
nor the sun that gave.
i am not the fertile earth.

i am not the human hands
that gathered, that prepared...
i am not even the hand that offers.
i am not the table, not the chair,
i am not the spoon.
when day is done,
and my place is known...

i am only the bowl!

and a very fine bowl indeed! remember, it is the bowl that holds what is needed, so it is there for those in need. you hold the words so many are hungry to hear.
