The Bursting Of Happiness..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

now i know why i have
been flying in my dreams

why i have those big black
wings amid the blue skies

i know why the morning sky
gives the light showers

behind it the faintest light
from the early sun

i know why the earth is joyous
wet by your passion

why the seeds of the jackfruit
finally shed off their skin

to give way to tiny leaves
in between those cracks of

old rocks that open their hidden
eyes to the first showing of

the tender hands of happy years
of your unfolding like umbrella

to the noonday sun filtering
finally what is hot and stinging....
