Taking Shelter Of The Past And The Future... Poem by RIC BASTASA

if the present time
is getting uncertain
and even dangerous, come

take the shelter of your
past, the good times and
the memories of happiness,
savor, feel and remember, come

close your eyes, take a deep
breath, imagine, a future
coming to sit beside you,
full of surprises, a basket
of ripe mangoes, a glass of
coolness, sweet lemonade,
a bright day, a rain,
a rainbow,a graffiti of
excitement, a reunionof
friends and family.......
