Living And Reliving An Experience.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is nothing but experience
it shows, it is felt, and then
you draw it back again nearer
your face, take a closer look,
analyze, and feel and
reflect, many times, digest,
expand, do not decorate,
take it as it is,
freeze it, ...stay still,
be a sculpture, or a ladder,
a pillar, or even be a bowl
of water,
do not titillate
visualize, taper, sharpen,
no rattling please, just
the closer look at the closing of
the day....

it dances before you,
shows its best, becomes a tree with
so many ripe fruits for your
picking

really, this is what experience is all
about.
