POEMS FROM THE HEART

BURSTING BUTTERFLY Bursting butterfly, wings heavy with the past. What fun to watch her many colors come alive, Flying like a silver cloud in the wind. Dancing, Sparkling, never still, Like a candle flame burning in glory, Soaring in a direction not known to her, But one her soul knows so well. One day her wings will form a rainbow, filling the sky. Stars will only be a reflection, of ones in her eyes. Oh butterfly, keep on flying, and fluttering on my heart. Let me watch you in your freedom.... Sign in to see full entry.

THE WIND DIES Limp sails, struggling against the current, like a bee, crashing the window pane. Searching, Trembling, crying out in the forest. A sound not heard, a need unfulfilled. Looking for a clearing, some shade, a cool breeze. Ragged from lonesome freedom, to be a willing prisoner. A home with breathing walls, a welcome mat on a peaceful shore. Too much to ask, Too much to own. Sail on my warrior, no one will know when you're gone. Kent Phalen Sign in to see full entry.

ANGELS OF TRUST Angels of trust, darting from clouds. Penetrating my soul, starving angry vengeance, gray beyond years. To create a being, an old baby, old rags must be burned. Threaded webs, woven by a stranger, must flow through arteries, where spoiled blood knew nothing. Angels of trust, trusting angels. Speaking wisdom to hearing ears. Music of echoes traveled so far. Sweet as mulberries lost in the years. I think I will fly with strong wings, beside this strange creature, Angels of trust.... Sign in to see full entry.

CLOUDS AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN WHERE THE GREEN TOUCHES THE BLUE SOFT WHITE CLOUDS ARE FLOATING I WONDER WHERE TO I WONDER IF THEY EVEN NOTICED THAT THEY BLESSED ME TODAY ARE THEY MAKING ROOM FOR THE SUNSHINE OR ARE THEY CARRYING THE RAIN EITHER WAY I WILL MAKE THEM WELCOME I WILL MAKE THEM FEEL RIGHT AT HOME FOR I KNOW THAT THEIR MESSAGE IS NOT FOR ME ALONE I WONDER IF ON DOWN THE LINE SOME POET MIGHT STAND AND SAY ARE YOU MAKING ROOM FOR THE SUNSHINE OR ARE YOU CARRYING THE RAIN EITHER WAY...

WRONG OR RIGHT Why look in that direction? it's not really there. Imagination, a picture with no hook sitting on the wall. Is it God? an image? Satan?, Or just a dream And if so, of the mind, or heart, or does it matter? Oh, knowledge of knowledge. Confused so often with wishing. Let it be known now, like an electric sky. As clear as the chaos it creates. Let there be no wonder, Yes, indeed no doubt. Divide wrong and right, Yes, let them stand so far apart, That even the blinded eye, can see,...
