Herbert Hagell Poems

A dream
the morning
diamonds on gentle waves
your eyes
...

look to the future
for clear days
when the fog is lifted
from your mind
...

Look into your heart, and find
The truth of your life
But know that your vision
Shaped of your existence
...

In your inner core, resides a pool
Of values and virtues you use in your world
This is your compass to do good
Follow your inner rules, and be happy.
...

Every day, in an old beet jar
His Red Rose tea and sugar
Bigger than life, bigger than Bugs Bunny
Every morning I would rush
...

It's the tale of 'Be right back'
How many times we say each day
I don't count it or keep track
We return with small delay.
...

Merlyn and Arthur

Merlyn came out of Fortingall, and stood
next to young Arthur in his victory,
...

Hope turns to desperation
Princess becomes a mistress
Hero slides to scapegoat
Hope fades to darkness.
...

Have a little work to do on me
To build up self esteem
I feel you want to do something
Other than listen what my words bring.
...

The stars linger in the sky
Indigo, purple hues all
Dark recesses visible now
Hidden Deep within the night.
...
