Devon McElveen Poems

We live in our present,
Though we miss our past
And await our future.
...

Our lives seem meaningless,
Insignificant even.
What are these demons
with which we must reason?
...

Truly Moved Am I
Seeing you move on ahead
Can I roam with you?
...

There was a girl that I knew, I knew her very well.
She was a strong and beautiful girl, through soul, body and mind.
As much as I knew her, I never thought she knew hell.
She hoped her hell would disappear with time.
...

I was once a child,
A phrase all of us may say.
As children we dream,
Dream as high as the sky is blue.
...

It is a beautiful night,
Don't you agree?
It may be freezing,
But we maintain warmth.
...

I know I am in a field alone
Because I hear no one in the background
I can feel the wet grass as I am prone
I sniff the grass as if I were a hound
...

The flame that brightens up the day.
The gust that blows the storm away.
A golden dagger, a blade of glory.
The paragon of the spirits of those before me.
...
