Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

For you my love I give thanks
To God
For the blessings of new days
To say 'Hello' to you and see
...

The music exploded
Into a thousand heartbeats...
We glided down rainbows of
Organ melodies, becoming
...

Clowns have nothing on me,
I too go along happily
Making those around me smile
While I weep in silence,
...

It's not a tree house
That hides me from the world;
Where birds rest on my shoulders
And I ignore yellow jackets so they
...

Come out and play!
Said the raindropp to the sun.
Come out and play!
Together we will make
...

We walk along this narrow street
The sign post reads Love, One Way.
We move blindly, stumbling as we search
For the end or perhaps beginning
...

Moving through a hollow tunnel
Of dreams,
Hope prodding us on,
Swiftly so swiftly we gather
...

Your face,
Sunshine in the rain.
Your arms,
Angel's wings, warm, sheltering.
...

Yesterday we laughed
And loved
And dreamed...
Today we love and cry
...

The early morning quiet was shattered
With the sound of crackling crystal crowns,
Of elegantly dressed trees falling into space.
...
