Early Worm Poem by RIC BASTASA

you have seen
how dawn has given
the basket of light
to morning

how light flowers
how flowers bloom above
the breasts of mountains

how mountains tower
to reach the
pinnacle of sun

how the sun spreads
its wings
and make every leaf
every worm
learning the wonder
of flight

how a world is born
again
how the child's eyes
marvel to all these

as mothers make breakfast
as fathers catch fish

how rivers have consistently
made their journeys
towards the sea
and how the sea have
remained in the abundance
of its waves
in the salt of its waters

early worm
this world never starts
spinning

and this poem
shall be never ending
