One Saturday Morning At The Mountain Top Inside The House Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is raining outside
it is the habitualness of the image that flows inside us
green grass and rolling hills and clouds a drifting
the sound of rain like footsteps of children playing under the shower from heaven
i sit upon a chair looking outside
i am not thinking about anything simply watching the rain
the green grass
the trees the sea and the horizon that extends more than what my eyes can see
more than what i can contain
this empty bowl with a wide mouth open
this hollowness that cannot speak because it does not have the exact words
to say

it seems to me that the correct existence that fills this void is nothing
but the silence of the trees, the grass, the hills and the far away seas
