Commitment As A Tiny Sun Poem by RIC BASTASA

above me is a tiny sun
it is dancing
only for me
it lives inside my head
warms my heart
it shines and sets only
for me

it is a dream
that i yet have to hold with
my own hands

around me are planets and places
they pull me
but i fell like a feather so light
and i float
and undisturbed and i exist
only for the tiny sun

i am a place where i let the sun
settle down
and i listen to no other sound
except its
hush which is more like a whisper
of a friend
to another friend
who lives for no other
reason
except themselves

the planets fall
the other places of the heart crumble
but the tiny sun
continues
to shine and set within
myself
because we promise
because
we fulfill.
