1/21/2023 – you, the sea

On January 21, 2023January 19, 2023 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short Poems1 Comment

So little else amid this world
Could give such peace to me
As I in your arms still and curled
I, stone; and you, the sea

In warmest waters
I find a home like none else
Where quiet lives free

Like a great standing stone
Is the wise man
Is the great man
Within me

Like the timbers
Of a ship’s hull
He braves seas
He braves storms

Yet so like the wind
Is that wise man
Is that great man
Within me

Who is ever-present
Yet ungraspable
One moment there
Then gone

I walk upon a dark and frozen lake
Beneath a sky bereft of stars and moon
And wondering if each next step I take
Will bring the plunging cold more near, more soon

I have but one wish:
That Earth and I remain one
Ere and after life

At the dawn

To look is not to see
To hear is not to listen
To sense is not to know
Nor is to speak, to speak wisdom

1/13/2023 – their imaginings

A child looks out upon the world and sees
A land of promise, colors bright and true
I wish to look, through their eyes, at this freeze
And their imaginings I’ll take on too

When will the sun come
Triumphant from behind clouds
To shine upon me?

1/11/2023 – only ever a part (the sea turtle)

On January 11, 2023December 30, 2022 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

With quiet grace
And thoughtful slowness
It rides currents
Seen without sight
As in its world
It exists with
Beside
Near
Over
Under
Never less or greater
Only ever a part
