Poetry

Perceptions of the world
         Told in many ways,
Reflections of the soul,
         Guidance through the haze.

Echoes of the past
         Frozen on the page,
Inspired burst of thought,
         Warped release of rage.

Whispers of the heart
         Demanding to be heard,
Silence of the mind,
         Patterned mix of word.

Expressions of the now
         Not answers for eternity,
Songs of simple joys,
         Tears for life's infirmities.
