..To Dance Again.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

and then it was learned
oh, they're back to each other's arms
once again
and not one of them has told you
what's love all about
that it 's lovelier the second time
around

their smiles grow that flower of envy
like a willow, like a cattail,
and the lovely air hums its sound
that can kill what's is there in your ear

philosophy comes in with a succor
life is like that
you cannot take everyone you cannot
have everything

what you love does not love you
and the one that loves you more
you do not ever care.

and then tomorrow comes like
everyone else
you move into these facts of life
with burdens in your head

and you live life as though nothing
happens
everything comes and goes like
everybody else


here comes the rain
and your feet are ready to dance
again
