Just A Stage That We Go Through And Then We Move On Too.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is heavy
but i consider it light
and it becomes
light

it is new
and it is surprising
the usual thing
is to shy away from
what we still do not
understand

but i welcome it
i welcome this and that
i say yes
i say yes to everything now
i say cheers
to you and this wonder

i am drinking from your glass
i am fitting my foot in your shoes
i welcome you
and i say yes to you and to everyone

there is no question
there are no answers
i guess this is just it
just that

here it comes
we live it
and it goes out
and we wave our hands
goodbye

and it goes on and on and on
and has become too ordinary
no one looks at it now
nothing to mind
nothing to lose
nothing to win

oh, this is not a game after all
not a question of who wins or loses
it is life
it is living it

just a stage that we go through
and then we move on too....
