To A Friend Posing With Her Happy Family Last Christmas Poem by RIC BASTASA

i go for family
as you have yours
all smiling for the
season
and missing each
other
after the holidays

i vote for family
a home
a home away from home
a second home
and even a third one

a home in an island
another one
continental another
one
global

but, and this is
is the big but
i do not really have
to have one
necessarily

i love the world and
still love this world
and then i go roaming
around it
its islands its continents
its oceans

and to accomplish it
with speed
as life is too short
i, may, if you are
interested to know,
fly alone by
myself

sail, trek, run,
walk, dash,
rush

alone by myself.
