THE LIBRARY
IN A ROOM FULL OF SILENCE
A STRONG VOICE CAN BE HEARD
PICTURES AND GRAPHS
AND THE WRITTEN WORD
WISDOM OF AN ANCIENT TIME
CHILDREN'S RIDDLES
AND SONGS THAT RHYME
THE POETS SING
THE MARTYR CRIES
A CHILD IS BORN
A COUNTRY DIES
THE LANDSCAPE SOARS
A MAN STANDS TALL
POLITICS ARE REVEALED
AND DOWN CAME A WALL
HISTORY, MATHEMATICS
AND THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE
A STRONG VOICE CAN BE HEARD
IN A ROOM FULL OF SILENCE
No Title (from Philosophy of a Snowflake)
The trees shake the last of their brittle amber leaves,
sending an orchestra of percussions
trailing away through the background of the night.
And I sit waiting,
waiting for the great spirit to present itself
like my breath in the cool crisp air.
