Are You Willing To Pay The Price? Poem by RIC BASTASA
Are You Willing To Pay The Price?
there are two houses
two distant islands
on one island there are only two colors
black and white
nothing in between
no shades, no hues
no compromises of
blending
it is a hard, disciplined structure
where rocks are rocks
same shapes, same weight, same burdens
on the other hand the other island is
full of colors,
it is like law being let go
into freedom
call it a rainbow where pots of gold are found
where seemingly everything goes on and on
but with
responsibility
the trees grow leaves of different
colors and
striations and shapes
it is surprising
it happens
the rocks there move
like living heads of mushrooms
the rivers sometimes take their rest
freezing cold
and hard and then turning into mobile water again
singing
there is no bridge between this two
no connection
nothing familiar about each
but i live in both
i know the secret path
and if you want to know it
let me ask: are you willing to pay the price?

1. Bastasa, when the white light goes through the prism, we get the VIBGYOR, the seven colors of rain bow. After raining and slight drizzle, when water droplets work as prism, we can see the rain bow in the sky. 2. When the light falls on the white materials of any kind of gas, liquid, solid and other states, the light will be reflected, that is the reason the thing looks as white, but the light is absorbed when it falls on the black materials. 3. other than these two colors, the rest of the colors in the world are obtained through the mixing up of the colors in the rainbow. The same concept can be explained in different ways in different subjects...
