Freedom From... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Freedom From...



the nest no matter
how warm
cannot keep the birds
forever

there is always a day
ripe for flying away

the fish too cannot live
forever
in the mouth of its mother
there is a time in the sea
for swimming away
and finding one's
new destiny

mother's arms that cradles
you
gives way to
your new found freedom too

no nest, no corals, no arms
holds a bird, a fish, a boy
forever
