The Merciful God..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

his revelations
about his past gives
me that feeling of
awe, that feeling that
you never expect him
to be so,

if you could have only
known
that course of life would
have been different
not thinking that you
were in the same
boat with him and,

what you had in mind
was like moon gleaming
at noon, like sun
setting at the wrong
hour, like stars that

keep on falling without
that regard that a
dark night would be
too grievous,

now everything has
changed, appearances
turn off what used to
be a spark of those
moments, he keeps

enigma as you keep on
writing about what could
have been, thankful that
what happened to him,


did not happen to you
and God must be as always
at your side
always ready with his
Mercy.
