The Reason Why I Am Still A Part Of You Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Reason Why I Am Still A Part Of You



from one tree springs the trunk and the branches
and it seems to me that each part of us always wants to branch out

leaves fall inevitably leaving a
bald space

sort of, i want to go this way and sometimes
i want a
clear butting and
i want to cut you away from my life
so you can grow on your own

independence is a dream of all living
creatures

the strangers look at us: one tree, just one tree
and so pleasing to their eyes

giving shade is enough comfort for a passerby

and hence, i know the reason why,
you are still part of me.
