Claude H Oliver II Poems

Chains are designed for many uses
Chains on tires in snow help you go
Chains on hands and feet are hard to defeat
Chains on anchors hold ships in place
...

When all is well
The day is bright
You’ve wakened from a dream filled night
Remember
...

The stiff rod of desire
Enters the haven of comfort
Shedding tears of life on the seeds within.
...

The growl of jet engines
The grinding bark of trucks
The thundering rumble of trains
The whining of sirens
...

What is Meditation


Meditation - Quiet from life's noise
...

Unable to stand, wheelchair mobile
Thoughts struggling for words
Captive of sleep
Recognized world shrinking
...

Sweet one go to sleep
Go to slumber land so deep
In my loving arms cradled sweet
Peaceful calm succulent sleep.
...

When we enter this place
We enter to the pace
Of this
Designer of our existence
...

From different places and social strata
With different stages of discomfort
Some alone, some with others
All come to this destination
...

This world is of me
And I am of it
It makes me who I am
What I must be
...
