Pause 6 Poem by RIC BASTASA

pause
silence
more silence

it is my belief that in times of our silence
when we pause a little bit
from so much talk
and (nonsense)

we simply let God pass
and we pause some more sensing this air of holiness this divinity
that is simply
not found in ourselves

malice sometimes gets shamed
and we are silenced

but i know with our caliber, it will not be for long
we talk again
unceasingly as though the words in this world will be out


and there is no more word
left for tomorrow

(oh, what a lot of nonsense!)

let us pause again, i am a little bit tired
for once let us be silent and be happy within the confines
of our soul

leave me alone
