All Sands Of The Shores Poem by RIC BASTASA

our philosophy lies
in this journey to the
wilderness

it had always been
personal
too much personal

a silhouette of yourself
on a sunset
a shadow under an island
of light

we were taught to clear
the tall grasses and
pave our own paths
and not to tell what happens

look at them, the flock
happy as they are
you cannot tell one from
the other

they all speak the same
and live the same and then
at the end
they become same all over
their mouths and tongues
all sands of the shores...
