Let Them Be Poem by RIC BASTASA

Let Them Be



let the shoes come and accommodate your feet
and the gloves your hands
and your shirt and pants let them all come near you
and wear your body

let all of them come
let them be let them be

let them have you
the shoes will take you to the door of the house
the home you are longing

the stairs meet you
and the windows open like eyes looking out to another face

the floors and ceiling give you a space
where you can sit with the chair
that opens its arms

a glass serves you milk
or orange juice, tell it what you want
to quench your thirst

a saucer, a plate, a spoon and fork
they all come before your hands
some muffins and jelly
they all come before your mouth
they all come to feed your hunger

this is your home now.
Destiny is waiting.

You do not do a thing.
They all do it for you.

There is no worry.
Destiny does it for you.You see.
