This Longing For Eternity...... Poem by RIC BASTASA

since i cannot
be there with you
then i am going to
make my own place
where i can be with
myself...

since i am not allowed
inside your circle
then by necessity i have
to make my own....

it will be a small
circle and like your circle
it closes itself like
a house without a door
like the way you call it
a symbol of eternity....

i am not eternal and will
never be, but i carry with
me, this longing for
eternity....
