David Harris Poems

I sat within the sound of silence
remembering an old friend
who had passed over five years ago.
A breeze ruffled the trees
...

Woke up this morning,
couldn’t tell my left from my right.
When I put my slippers on
my left foot went in the right
...

Life is full of challenges
with every step we take.
Each day we wake up
to new challenges
...

Someone had discarded an old tyre.
It was all battered and worn.
As I stared at it, I wondered
of what journeys it had been on.
...

I always have a habit
of wearing long sleeves
and a coat or jacket
never mind the weather.
...

Giving someone a surprise
is bringing joy into their lives.
It is always with anticipation
when you give it to them
...

I am a man who does not like rushing;
I like to take life at an easy pace.
Friends joke about it
saying a snail just overtook you.
...

Once in a while we sit on a bench
and watch the people pass by.
We gaze at their faces,
raise a smile to them,
...

We stand near the edge
of the abyss of our eternity.
As all the faces, we have known
flicker by like a silent movie.
...

It is a good feeling
when you help someone in distress,
impart on them the knowledge
that you have gained.
...
