For I Am Like Night And Day.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

and then
i compare this self
to night and day
just like the way
i lose myself and
find myself again
the way i fall and
the way i rise again
the manner by which
i am humiliated
and then gains my
composure back to
my dignity
and then i accept
all things
all facts and never
again be afraid
of what is to come
and then i proclaim
myself a part of this
world
infinitesimal
moving along with
the parade of the
stars and the planets
in this galaxy.
