I Stretch My Mind To The Sky Poem by RIC BASTASA

Everyday

instead of stretching my legs and arms

i stretch my mind to the sky

i can feel my nerves screaming

the one at my neck is aching

for more comfort

sometimes one feels that the hands are not

connected to the arms

like a night emptied of its stars and moon

there is chaos because some parts of our selves

are no longer in harmony

with the old body of the world

the streams and rivers get disconnected

with the sea

and the ocean waits for all these waters

to come

and be at peace with the silence of the stars
