Advice To Another Poetess.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

do not mind
just go on
explore and
take the wanderlust
of adventure
do not mind
do not quit
keep on going
and saying and
listening and
writing
explore what
has not been said
what has not been
heard
what has not been
written
the secret path
of your own cadence
that sonorous gentle
sound of your own
voice
follow the flow
of your grief
take the path of
some least resistance
enjoy the view of
the mountainside
hear the songs of
the fish
the maps of birds
the ambitions of
the peaks
the summits of the
skies
the eternity of
our own horizons.
