There Is A Choice Poem by RIC BASTASA

there is this void
that i think, remains to be
a void forever

no matter how you
fill it up it remains
a void, a chasm and
you feel like falling
forever on a bottom
that seeminly is not
there at all


there is also this joy
that remains to be a joy forever
inside our hearts and it rises
and rises forever
you feel like flying up forever
and there is no roof
of cloud or sky

there you are
at the middle
of these two contrasts

look up and look down
you choose
