Poems
Nov 2015
In the Pauses and the Spaces
Appreciate a pure sunrise
See all its glory
Yet just before Amazing Dawn
Has its own story
Before you have a choice to make
Turning left or right
First pause to contemplate the spot
Right within your sight
Body language will belie the
Loud clang of false words
Look into a person’s eyes or
Miss the message heard
What makes a brilliant orchestra
Or pastoral scene
The thing defining beauty is
The spaces in between
In the pauses, in the spaces
Feel your resting hearts
Waiting for the curtain rising
Just before it parts
All the spaces in the painting
Give it life and depth
Sea shells overlooked make precious
All the ones you’ve kept
Hold that hole in that sweet donut
Just before it’s dunk
And keep an eye right on the ball
Right before it’s sunk
Anticipating Christmas morn
Or Baby’s first step
The moment he’s still holding on
Right before he leapt
Savor that bite, unopened gift
Mere ghost of a smile
Forget the end, appreciate
Running your last mile
