Explore Poem by RIC BASTASA

explore
all the paths

find the meaning
of each labyrinth

there are shades
of light
from the prism

of our existences
life, death
rebirth

we do not die
all at once

do not deny
pleasure
welcome the pain
and be
freed from the prison
of the tentacles
of dread
and joy

live now and be too kind
for the truths
of love and hate
lust and pleasure

there is not a single
path reserved
for those who really
love every moment

dripping dropping
water and dew
on leaves

rivers rushing
to the sea and rain
always falling
for more
pleasure to the
earth

always there are openings
find them
always there are pleasures
try them

explore this world
of desire
for this is the gateway
to the holiness
of our soul
