I Am A New Word Poem by RIC BASTASA

i am a new word
to the vocabulary of the flesh
and the soul

they all live in me for this moment
and slowly i must define myself

gently i must touch the beauty of my soul
with the mortal hands of my body

there must be a way
to harmonize light and darkness

living in twilight
in the land where light and darkness meet

where love and hate embrace
where heaven and earth kiss

i am a new word
and in my heart and mind i must define myself
