Longing For A New World Poem by RIC BASTASA

i long for the world that you have been talking about
out there where there are no more wrongs
where time is eternal, hence there shall no longer be any past
and the future will be strange and the now never ending

shall light be blinding? shall darkness be forever barred?
i am still here with choices, and have always been defeated.
i am caring for spiders learning from their patience.
wait for me, i shall tend some birds and embark upon their wings.
