We Quit Because Words Are Just Hindrances To What We Become..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

we have long
spoken
our biases are
speaking
we have long exposed
what we feel
how we choose words
how we arrange them

sometimes we reject
too much thinking

could be destructive
and we embrace
spontaneity

writing as we please
leaning on first impressions
on first thoughts
not sifting
not even sensing what is here and there
just this and then go

in the long run
we write because there is something in us
which we cannot say blatantly
and bluntly to others

there is no fear somehow
but who knows if we could be wrong?

i've seen sunsets and sunrises
i have no thoughts there
just the plain viewing of their
natural transformations
how scenes change without the use of words
how light comes and break dawns
how morning is here without a greeting


it wont be long
when we do not use words anymore
when we say
we quit because words are just hindrances
to what we become.....
