His Own World Of Calm Poem by RIC BASTASA

and then he closes the windows
and doors
he spreads the drapes to drive
away
a figment of light
he walks away from the
world outside and now
stays within
as another world opens like
a bud
into a giant flower
where he alone
becomes the stamen
at a certain moment
secreting the
nectar of his
own making

a sky is made and clouds
drift
a sun appears
and light so much light
satisfies his thirsts
and hundred
hungers

it is so calm
his world is at peace
in a soundless
sphere
