Upon A Happy Mind Poem by RIC BASTASA

Upon A Happy Mind

Rating: 5.0


a bare life
who wants a desert? a desert is a bare land
a metaphor for a bare life: sands, sands, sands beyond imagination
a mirage, summers, all heat in there
you dream of oasis, palm trees, birds, wind, sea,
you wish for grass, the greenest grass in your mind

a bare life you say,
an equation of emptiness, a bowl of air transparent
all wind, nothing about drops of rain,

it is sad, this is all about a bare life
you say,

but one learns to live in this barrenness
at night when the sands are gone in the silence of the world
there is a cold wind singing
to the stars in the sky
to the moon
that sleeps on the dunes
shadows flying
hovering somewhere
upon a happy mind
