Poetry

I thought I would use my blog as a way to share some of my poetry as well. This is one I wrote in in July 1990 when I was struggling with matters of the heart...

Unspoken Answers
A tear escapes my distressful eye
As I search for answers with no words.
Above hangs the dark, starless sky,
As if to tell me the heavens are also sleeping.
A gray mist creeps across the mirrored water
That reflects shadows and lights from the other side.
The flag above sways just slightly with the touch of a chill breeze,
And the only sounds are those made by my shoes
Against the wooden dock.
As I make my way to the house,
My mind is lighter, and I see more clearly...
Maybe the heavens weren't asleep afterall.
