A Happy One, Loving And Beloved. Poem by RIC BASTASA

I know what happens
after i express my liking to your creations

i can imagine how happy you can be
reading back your work and rediscovering how beautiful it can still be

tomorrow, and then again tomorrow
you can feel that there is something in there that amazes you

how did you make it? how come you have ever thought of those words?
how beautiful is the music between those syllables?

tonight you will dream of trees and birds and clouds and high mountains
you will hear the laughter of your beloved
you will even kiss and make love there

when you wake up you are filled with inspiration again
you will write more and be conscious of the beauty inside you that wants to escape

from the landscape of your mind like some butterflies and birds
and then they hover on those trees by your window and they look at you

you smile as they smile at you and then they disappear like the wind
you are now alone and then you write again

something that we will all like
because they are your dreams and they all come from you

a happy one, loving and beloved.
