Have a Seat
© Bradley Alexander Bucsis, 2005

Please, have a seat
and be welcome to look around.
Make yourself comfortable
and ask for a blanket
should the air become too cool;
I want you to be warm here.

Enter this world of mine
and touch it with your bare hands.
Observe the corners that meld my visions.
Venture into the submission of color;
into the contrast of ideas;
the passion and thoughts.

Try to stay quiet;
do not disrupt the flow
of the luminous, ethereal liquid
that we soon shall share as one.
Only the wind will blow between us
to carry the smells
of clover and moss;
moist and sweet like honey.

Hurry and close the door,
we mustn’t let this landscape
become contaminated.

Please, have a seat
and have a nice trip...
