Acceptance..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

time makes you forget
yourself

sometimes you stop moving away
you need a mirror

faces it and looks at your face
there are so many lines

you undress yourself
and find our so many wrongs

so much have been neglected
you wonder

and you think of the river
that flows in so many winding ways

accepting and taking with its body
everything

there is no regret
it is nothing but fate to just be a river

to just be later
nothing but a part of the sea, the ocean, to be just

a part of everyone and
everybody
