That Most Beautiful Star Poem by RIC BASTASA

she comes like air inside your nose
passing through your esophagus
and resides in the chamber of your heart
telling you
you're good, and kind, and the best of the rest
and she makes you feel at home with yourself
until then
she begins to make you feel that the rest should
behave like you
and that this world would have been better if
all people are like you

she makes you feel the arrogance of the mountain
and you become the center of this universe
because you have become the sun
that beautiful star from where we have not gone
