The Growing Consciousness Poem by RIC BASTASA

for such is the true nature of our state
the growing consciousness

always the unfolding of the petals to become
the flower
the sprouting of the seeds
the ripening of the fruit
the surprises of the buds like tips of your fingers

for always the sun spreads its rays and shows its dominion for the day
for always the moon shall transform paleness to fullness
to the joys of our eyes
to the satisfaction of our feelings and longings

for always the leaves thicken themselves and they fall
only to grow the greener leaves again

for always my dear from you fall you shall rise
from your silence you must be tranquil
for always you must keep the hope growing
the love stronger
for always you must believe that things will always turn better
that at the end there shall be this perfection
of who we are and what shall we become

believe in this wisdom and you shall begin to hear the songs.
