Craig Piercy Poems

He closed his eyes and drifted away
I knew then all I could do was pray

Goodbye daddy goodbye
...

When you see things clearly you understand, you must sometimes make a stand
When things around you change you realize you must rearrange
Why do others find this strange?
...

As the passion builds inside, my heart beats faster
My mouth goes dry
My hands become clammy
My eyes widen in anticipation
...

Red and white with a single maple leaf in the centre
It blows in the breeze
Strong and free, it represents people with so much diversity
...

Spick-and-span, clean shaven
Living in their own haven

Dressed so proper, looking like a copper
...

As the wings of the beautiful pelican spread
As the pelican lifts his head
As the pelican takes flight, I remember his plight
...

When you wander around looking for that thing that's missing
It's your soul that's missing

That heartbeat, feeling of retreating
...

The longing to have someone
To take me away
Far, far away, take me to a place
I haven't been, to a country I haven't seen
...

The bond, the love, the connection
When she looks at you, you melt
When she holds your hand, you melt
When she cuddles you, you melt
...

Wake up, Daddy, wake up
Why do you sleep, Daddy?
You lie there so still
Come back, come back, Daddy
...
