An Archive of poems I have written |
Thoughts caged in digital packets Lightspeed sharing of stress everywhere The computer fan is making a racket As it processes pain and despair The darkness spreads like a growing storm Blue lightning rips our souls apart My heart pounds in this brainstorm Overstuffed by work I depart My inner music is 'heavy metal' As I turn into the park Restless and unsettled I turn away from the dark Sound sensitive I ignore Screaming babies, children laughing Walk on past the human roar It is for peace that I am seeking Moving deeper into forest trees Into a glade where my skin feels the warmth of a gentle breeze Begging for mercy my soul kneels Eyes open to a blue sky with space to lose all memory My prayers unload in a mighty sigh A world that seemed in jeopardy Here birds sing only for me The wind rustles in the leaves Unconnected I can simply be Wired to what God conceives Artificial thoughts bleed away Pixeled patterns are forgotten Wild and free I breathe the day Forgetting all that was rotten My nostrils flare and I smell the forest and the flowers of June As God breaks the angry spell My heart sings a brand new tune |
