Forgetting Something So Important Poem by RIC BASTASA

why am i here?
must i have forgotten
the reason why
am i
here? am i destined
for something
greater
than my mind?
or my heart?
have i forgotten that
i have a soul?
a spirit engraved
within the
shiny metal of
my body,
a name, a brand,
a status

why am i here?
have i forgotten You
who have placed
me here?

have i forgotten
that love is always the
reason for my
being here

in this misery
shall love continue to be
my guide and cure?

how can i ever forget
the floor of
my existence
the love without
a ceiling?

the house of love
that never falls
the beams that never
break

the Host that knows
everything
