The Beginning Of Understanding.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is not the head
do not be misled
it is not the finer thoughts
but the shady ones
where you must find comfort
and it is not
in those neurons of
convoluted matter
that will make the finest
being in you
than the rest of this ocean
of humanity

rest a little
do not think
unload what bias of thoughts are there
be renewed,
anew

feel the coolness of the tree
listen to the song of the
sea breeze
lay your head on the breasts
of this earth
it is where
the heart is.
