The One You Fear That Which Finally Makes You Unknown.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i perfectly understand
sir
i was once there

i tell you it was not
that fulfilling
never did i dream about
that thing

i love the plains
the grasses
i rode a horse towards the
edge
i did not fall as you
expected
the world is never flat
just the rest of the riders
i become a dot from far
into the horizon
the one you fear
that which finally makes you
unknown....

i am so sorry
but you missed the real point
of the whole story

what you think is wrong
but keep it just the same
i am happy with the
thought that you are
happy... do not quit
soon you will find what
i found,

air in my lungs,
water in my hands
sands in my feet
ash on the hearth
fire in the sky
foams of the sea
song of the desert
a crack of a nut
the breaking of
glass
the blindness of
the window
the jamming of the door
tears on the floor

be happy, do not ever
ever think again.....
