There Will Be A Time Poem by RIC BASTASA

there will be a time
when you will be
just yourself and

no other and none
other but just yourself
not even your name
or the work that you do
or place where
you live

it is about a light
that comes only once
in your room
and there you float
beside your bed
higher than your
body

they will be talking
and you will just
be listening

some will cry
but you are just yourself
in perfect peace
looking at all of
them with your sad eyes
and then you leave
without even sighing
