Rivers Resting To The Common Sea Poem by RIC BASTASA

by Chance i watched
The Bucket List, and i cried
at the end of this movie,
i am alone in the room
as she goes to church,
i get cold, sick
and not desiring
anything,
i have become a different
person then,
a stranger to myself,
unable to understand
that i must anchor my mind
to a certain faith
a belief that
is more important than
myself
or this world,
i have that ending
that we are all rivers
finally going
to the same sea
and there
be silent forever.
