..Those That See The Sorrow.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

the temptation in poetry
is its self-centeredness

most of it, is about the i,
me, and myself thing

it is here where the earth
becomes the center of the universe

the sun cannot complain and the
stars fully understand this matter

there is another option however
when you as the earth emits fire

to light the sun and yet be not mocked
or be subject as their laughing matter

the earth is trying to light its own path
and the sun understands and the stars do not complain

for it is here where the earth grieves in its darkness
and those who see the sorrow, just let it go.
