Joseph P. DiMino Poet Prose Poetry

It Takes a Loss

Sadly, it takes a loss
to know what one had
and misses; as anything
not worked for, or rightly
fought for, is not worth
having, regardless of its
monetary value – for one's
soul, though it can be sold
can never be bought back,
only redeemed...by one who
believes it is priceless, far 
greater than the wealth of 
a world.
