Born To Listen.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Born To Listen....



in this place i was
born
merely to listen

the only meaning to
my existence is my ear

there is so much noise
and surrender is not a word for me

i hear everything
even the needles of the pine

when i speak
i am no longer myself

when i move my lips
the world turns-turtle

when i scream all i
have is silence

so many are lost
every night they seek refuge

in my emptiness
i become full.
