Poems
Aug 2014
we are not all that we seem
tickles of startlight
(and flutters of fancy)
dedicate a sermon
to all the hopeful dreamers
casting a wish tonight.
vivid imaginations
moved by frank impossibilities
peeled away the layers
to reveal a mellow thought.
we are not all that we seem
(but not quite what we imagined)
yet there are still a few of us
unafraid of standing out.
heroes destined not to be remembered
and adversaries universally praised
line the pages of this notebook
in ink that looks the same.
embers and coals alive and whispering
haunting memories quick and ticking
fill my addled brain
with threads i cannot follow.
but You can
with all your acquiescent defiance
and souls alight with our raw potential
push us into tomorrow.
