Four Sentiments: 10/10/2018

Ending In Regret

 

Most of us wait

  for what few of us get

 

Then start the excuses

  —that end in regret

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)

 

   Inside Your Heart

 

With your every smile,

  my life grows longer

 

Both on this earth

  —and inside your heart

 

(To My Grandson Hunter: January, 2014)

 

The Felony Of Language

 

The felony of language

   is within the larceny

  of being neither right

    —nor wrong

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)

 

      Unspoken Dawn

 

The morning returns

  new verses unheard

  rising eternal

   —in the unspoken dawn

 

(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: January, 2014)

 

 

And Nothing At All

Like wine in storage,

The cellar of my perception ages

Buried deep in its recesses

The past and future abandoned

  —time no longer the vintner

 

Fermenting in the immediacy

Of the chosen instant

And distilling in the perfection

Of the perpetual present

  —the moment reopens

 

       Bringing with it everything

          —and nothing at all

 

(Garrett Hill Pennsylvania: January, 2014)

What Drives Me Still

The light through

My Grandmother’s

Bedroom window

Called out to me

 

‘Calls out to me’

 

Leading me to places

Where I had to go

Revisiting me now

In my twilight years

 

‘In my twilight years’

 

Reminding me again

Of those places I’ve been

And my reasons for going

As the mileposts shone

 

‘And the mileposts shine’

 

Reaching into the distance

Where the horizon pulled

And the dawn arrived

In what drove me once

 

‘In what drives me still’
