Today Poem by RIC BASTASA

dwell on the left side of your brain
learn the art of everything,
of winning and losing
of giving and taking

learn the art of loving
emote, denote, connote
appreciate what this world
is all about
rotate, collide, vibrate,
revolve, evolve, devolve
involve, indulge,

drink what dew and nectar is there
be happy
if literal must i be
join the bees
fly with the wind and the butterflies

why not? you are young
and the world is not that old enough
not to understand.
