I Decided Poem by RIC BASTASA

this is the decision
i do not imitate you
and in your justification
that everything is yet
unfinished
i shall not follow

there is this nice feeling
that every creation is a beautiful one
whole and finished
and seen by the eyes
as a flowering delight
like a window with an
orange curtain
a wall with vines
a stair with intricate carvings
of wood at the
railings

when i pass by
deep within i smile
my heart whispers
this world is whole and complete
and so
beautiful
