Gia Il Sole! Poem by RIC BASTASA

It is morning now.

after darkness
like a confusion
the morning comes
with a brighter sun
this time

twilight leaves
like doubt
we think the pain
subsides

It is morning now.

we wash the dirt
on our faces
we dry wet cheeks
with
good morning
towels

It is morning now.

You must stop
believing all the lies
You must wake up
from this stupor
You must meet destiny
Not in your dreams
Touch your hands
with our own hands
Feel the roughness
of realities.
