As Answers Flee

Is the Poetry in the thinking

or the writing

 

Is the message in the reading

or the hearing

 

Is the feeling trapped between

what’s spoken and the silence

 

Is the spirit released as answers flee

—from questions yet to ask

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)

 

Searching And Waiting

As a Poet I’ve been everywhere,

  while living in the void

 

As a Poet I’ve written about time,

  while living outside its deception

 

As a Poet I’ve watched your hopes and dreams,

fade into dark memory

 

As a Poet I’ve searched and waited

—for what tomorrow never brings
