Finally The Laughter Reverberates Around The Four Corners Of The Room Poem by RIC BASTASA

..so finally
the sounds of laughter reigns in the room

listen!

it is mine, finally, and i do not ask
why you are as silent
as a path without a single traveler

the pebbles do not miss you
the sands are numb
the clouds are as white as snow
no signs of rain

nice weather, i suppose
sad times for you
mine shall be different
as planned beforehand

two days ago
i had that wrong notion
about death, i must confess
how foolish i had been!
