The Laws Of Change Poem by RIC BASTASA

i disagree.there is no you,
there is no me in the permanence
of the firmaments. there is only the
law of constant change.so look
into my eyes everyday, the ripples
are not the same yesterday.
some fish live there in different
colors and you think of rainbows.
feel the beat of my heart. move
closer and make your palms
be like sensors of my pains
and joys. i change. yesterday
moves out like dusk turning
to light in the morning window.
drapes are removed, and new
ones are put on and no, they
are not the same hands, not
you, it is today's face that
faces me and i am always on
the look out for the signs.
your child today may be
tomorrow's monster that kills
your kindness today may soon
transform to indifference, to hate,
life shuts off in any moment like
a switch and you lay in your bed
feeling for once, this is another
day, another me, another tired
body, another soul chanting,
about an end about a beginning
about this cycles without seemingly
any visible crack of light for escape.
