Alive once more

On March 1, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

Wind howls and bites
The ground is icy cold
There is little green
And all slumbers

But life flickers
The sun smiles
Buds peek
Ice melts

The world is set to come alive once more

2/16/21 – from nothing

From silence grows music
From death grows life
From nothing grows all

2/15/21 – snowflakes

Falling from on high
Spinning in eddies of wind
Stunning
Perfect
Constructed with utmost care
Gone in a moment

Light to dark

Light to dark

It happens so quickly sometimes

Each day flowing to the next

Never slowing

Never halting

No time for a breath

Sunrise

On February 4, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

Wide and bright
Just the right
Color, the sky’s filled
Puffy clouds build
Paint the world
Colors unfurled
At the farthest edges of the sky
My spirit lifts high

Cuppa

On February 1, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

When thoughts race, wild, in your mind
When a hundred things at once implode
When naught can calm your jumpy nerves
When pain bleeds down and tightens your chest

May I suggest

A cup of tea and a bit of rest

Peace of the heart

On January 30, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short Poems1 Comment

When your heart can rest
In knowledge that it is safe, no matter what comes
In knowledge that it is cared for
In knowledge that another gently cups it in their hands
And in knowledge that that other will never forsake it

That is peace

This shared place

On January 29, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short Poems1 Comment

To whom does the lone tree falling play?
For whom does the ocean thunder sing?
At whom does the far side of the moon smile?

For they do play
They do sing
They do smile

And though it may not be we
Who hears
Who sees
Who senses

There are others in this shared place

My favorite nook

On January 28, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short Poems1 Comment

When that spirit comes and knocks
I sit in my corner
Ignore
Kick off my socks
Crack open a book
Silence the noise in my head
Find peace in my favorite nook

Grey skies

Grey skies

Quiet

They encompass all, touch nothing

Change everything
