Into A Deep Sleep Where Dreams Reside. Poem by RIC BASTASA

It is all about some things that we cannot forget
we write them hoping to know why we remember

perhaps it is not the search for reasons but the way to find
how those feelings were once

those that make us fly like birds those that make us so agile like
fish

those that make us horny like bulls and those that make us so gentle
like swans

the pool makes us remember how still can be so quiet
the rivers show a stream of thoughts and the place where
they all meet to the sea

where sea meets sky where thoughts turn into realities of
boats and paddles sailing toward that island of our paradises

upon a stupor that finally catches with us
into a deep sleep where dreams reside.
