5/26/2022 – visions of sailing

On May 26, 2022May 24, 2022 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

As the waves curl
And the wind sings
I see the sun sparkle in the distance

And though the hard ground
Is not there
And the waters rise
And fall

And though others
Are distant
And the trees
One color on the painted land

I am safe
Here

5/25/2022 – this burned ground

This burned ground
Hides life beneath it
Even as it speaks
Of death

Seeds whirl to the ground
Or ride upon blustering wind
They are a promise

Were I to wake some clouded day
And speak unto the sun
Would it come forward at my call?
Would morn’s grey be undone?

5/21/2022 – the salted sea

I stood before the cliff’s edge, staring down
And watching waves do violence on the stone
Up there I asked what song the cliff had sung
To so infuriate the salted sea

The earth’s life returns
Carried upon new life’s wings
Young and old renewed

I can rest my eyes
For a moment
Because you are here

5/18/2022 – And so I step into the light

I cannot hear the story in
These creaking wooden halls
Not sense the pain and joy within
The crumbling stonework walls

And so I step into the light
And listen once again
To hear the tale of moonlit night
True now as it was then

I long for that distant shore
Take me there, take me there

Breathe the salty air
As we walk beside the shore
Listening to the waves
