Happy Birthday Ric S. Bastasa <br /> <br />Did your mother know, <br />when she released you from <br />the safe ravines of her belly <br />so many years ago, <br />that you would grow up and drink <br />every dropp of life until you drown <br />in it....? <br /> <br />to be born yet again into this <br />bored man (by your own confession) <br />who writes the most beautiful lines? <br /> <br />Are you so bored that the sun, when <br />it rose today did not touch you in a <br />way that you had to write about it? – <br />that the man who greeted you on the <br />sidewalk did not inspire prose hastily <br />written on a serviette in a coffee shop? – <br /> <br />You are not bored… <br />You see too much - <br />You feel too much – <br />Your mind possesses the earth <br />and for that you are blessed. <br /> <br />Happy Birthday Ric S. Bastasa<br /><br />YURI DURAAN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-birthday-ric-s-bastasa/
