G Rog Rogers: Favorites

S Olson

We are elaborate animals made of wood
earth, flowing like water into the veins
of the sky.

The sun being a fist of lava, and the night
being an enticing molar—we are
a succession of tides, being swallowed
by successions of day; and how beautifully
we wilt in the presence of joy.

The moon may be nothing
but a luminous
stone

and to eat the poetry of it
is how one chokes
on love

but the romance of morning
is that if by midnight
you are alive, that is joy.

Lies

Lies

Black ink sprawled across a page,
Delirious writings; unfortunate musings
-- truth obfuscated, a pink haze
a tinted hue hiding the monsters lying beneath

An oil spill of paradoxes;
what once was true is no longer,
Confused, hurt, worried
Which version is the truth
-- do you believe what you see,
or what you want to?

Moon

It gives you light in your darkest night.
It gives you courage to walk alone in the dark.
It gives you the strength to fight alone.
It gives you hope to keep going on.

Beautiful Firefly

Beautiful Firefly

You fly up high
You fly down low
You are a beauty
A natures show
You are a beetle
So **** cute
Tho so little
You ain't a mute
A power pack
Loaded on your back
You flash your lights
And ignite the nights
The light that glow
I hope it doesn't blow
Your wings are shiny
Your eyes so tiny
If your heat bell rings
You might burn your wings
It would make me sad
To see a burned firefly
Others have fled
As above my head you fly
You are my beautiful
Firefly...

You Are, Dear God...

You Are, Dear God...

You are above me
You are below me
You are all around me
Dear God, it's about me
It's about us
It's about them
It's about we
Dear God, bless me
Bless us
Bless them
Bless all living kinds
Erase the darkness from their minds
You are merciful
You are loving
You are not a myth
You are omnipresent
A past, present and future
Your arms surrounds the nature
I may not see you
I may not feel you
I may not know you
But you never forget
You push every being until they get
On their feet and tracks
You are the peace that fills the dark cracks
You are the thought in my head
You are my friend when am sad
I love you and I know others do as well
For you are my guide
Your teachings and words I shall abide...
