Without Borders In Space Poem by RIC BASTASA

We shall fade
as the sun too accepts the eventual
and natural triumph of
darkness

this loss of light is not to be feared
it will come as a matter of law

and so does fading whatever it is
be it the intellect or the ordinary light in the room
where you spend the hours staring at space

fading is always dying
and for those who think more than this
or for those who have something beyond the grasp of the
narrow alleys of the mind

those that do not just have palms and zodiacs
or those who fingers do not just feel the cold but also the
meteors losing their tails in that limitless horizon

there is always a room for falling without any floor
rising without reaching
there is always an excitement
which can never be contained

it oozes beyond time
without borders in space
