Colm - Hello Poetry

Colm Aug 2021

I,
can-not will-not would-not,
did

When an older you,
knew should but,
didn’t

Colm Aug 2021

hello is not a word
so much as a greeting is a sky
which stretches out above our heads
into the coulded mists and parting looks of waiting eyes

Reminder to self

Life is a spectrum of arrogance and meekness. Sway not to either side for too long, but balance yourself in perfect humility, as you live your story and see it unfold before you. Not as planned, but as you had hoped.

Your seeing makes me bright

You are the restless morning
Breaking over dark horizons
Devoid of light

You see me through
And usher in the dawn
With glorious, knowing, radiant sight

You see me as I am
Not just how I live
And practice, play, at this impatient life

No you are more than nothing
Less than some
With all the coolness of this defeated night

Your seeing makes me bright

You, Youth

Youth is forever to be desired

And fleeting and admired

And pitied and constructed

Into something more or less

No not so much

Youth is imperfectly young and lovely

Stupid and whole in its incompleteness lost

Just as downwardness is down

And skylight heat tries to rise

Youth is only you

So long as the youth

Within you

Is alive

Crashing-Over

I can be a wave crashing upon your shore
But when the coastline shakes
And aches its back both towards and in, with force
That shakes me, moves my world

Woah

River Vision

Find me in this flow of day
Till the warmth of sight escapes my bones
And in realization that this rivers flow
Is no more than water, no less than true
In its careless, passing, way it goes
And so speaks to me in a rippling ease
Reassuringly to let me know
That I am almsot free
Of my own being, in alone

Visions and lights (10)

These ten made me happy, to make their acquaintance today. Better.
