I Do Not Want To Say Anything At All.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

when we speak
we like to tell actually nothing at all
what we desire is only to live
the moment
so we refrained speaking about the
past which we cannot change
or the future which we cannot purchase
days like these
make us lonelier than ever
perhaps because we want to tell something else
that which we have grasped
and about to
but not what we are having now
this being
which we are holding for the time
being

i know how hard it is but does it
really matter?

did the wind that pass recently tell you something
about itself?
does that wave which touches your feet
claim otherwise?

no they are not minding you
neither do you think really that they mind themselves
for you think them as unthinking things

so why can't you do the same?
stay
just stay here
just be what you are

even without me.
