Pray for Peace
Posted on Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
This poem was inspired by a sign posted outside a local church.
Pray For Peace
Pray for peace;
Bingo on Wednesdays.
Pray for peace;
Best to the family.
Pray for peace;
I wish I could help.
Pray for peace;
I’m busy right now.
Pray for peace;
Where did he go?
Pray for peace;
I didn’t see it happen.
Pray for peace;
What do you want?
Pray for peace;
How to explain?
Pray for peace;
What could I do?
Pray for peace;
I’m getting it now.
Pray for peace;
Wake me more conscious.
Pray for peace;
Forgive me this Wednesday.

Dressed in Tatters

Dressed in Tatters
He thought He’d fool me,
Disguised in trodden threads,
Splint visible — teeth battered,
Thru eyes bright — piercing.
“Help me — I need to reach
Norfolk thirty minutes away.”
“I’ll give you a dollar.”
“The fare is three forty.”
I gave Him five;
He thought He’d fool me,
That I would judge
Him dressed in tatters.

I Gave Up Hope

I Gave Up Hope
I gave up hope –
Feel so much better;
No longer nested
In future illusion.
Now I explore each moment,
Described as uncertain,
Vibrant still-touch damp,
Emerging on canvas;
Time slows as on command,
Reaches within no-space,
Lingers for eternity –
Relieved from hope-anxiety.
I gave up hope –
Feel so much better.
