Somewhere Out There...... Poem by RIC BASTASA

somehow
we must accept that
we fall short
of holiness

it is our human nature
to be humbled by
this shortcoming

there is a stair which
leads us to nowhere
just fogginess

but then you step on
the fog and expect a fall
and disregard the
compromises of the flesh

it will not take that long
and you soon shall arrive
on that salvific
stance of your magnificent
soul

so be patient
breathed what air is there
from this earth
and then to somewhere...
