Finding You Finding Me Finding Us.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

each word has
a derivative
it is like a tree
each leaf has an
equivalent root tip

what is said is not
taken from the air
like a meaningless molecule
that is here and then sooner
disappear

there is meaning to each
word, even to each syllable
it springs from
an experience from what you did
and what i did
it does not just come out from nowhere

so always pay an attention
discover and always discover
be aware
be sensitive
discern and discern some more
be a lens
until you too find yourself in me
and someone else

for we are mirrors to each
to find each other's true face.....
