Overflowing Manifestations Poem by RIC BASTASA

the years beyond our fingers
have taught us
more than what we can imagine
piercing walls
breaking ceilings

the windows are amazed
the stairs disassemble
and walk as feet

who can estimate the
emptiness of the container?
what amount of voluminous
sighs can it contain?

has anybody underestimated
man's nearness to his God?


has anybody explained the
contagion of divinity?

who is the doubter? who is
the man who was never thrown
into the oblivion of doubt?

we have evolved we have conquered
we have overshot this meteor existence

the silence is solid
the depth is never told

we are through with the test of
the circus
we have changed costumes
we are in this reality now

of a fantasy beyond fantasies
a tiny light rising from the slits
of the blinding expectations

we ourselves are amazed
we are beyond containment

the overflowing grace manifests in the songs
that our journeys are singing to the nights.
