James McLain Poems

Frozen light is love the choice is yours,
And the dark unfolds upon it's self to reach inside the test.
As more arrive than leave some come without a soul,
And he and she do good and do not age.
...

In a wood that's lush and deep and green I sat,
Looking at a path that leads from left to right.
A single lonely figure that was I, and here the fog
Was moist and warm and white.
...

Do no go into that bright light that waits.
For all whom cross that finish line and start
This life again.
Yes it burns,
...

Placed in the getto by my case worker that I once
Thought my friend.
Isolation was my life at my age, near the end.
Forced interaction with people whom steal, living in fear
...

I was born in the open, hidden in the clouds,
A shadow on the wall, closer to it all,
I came from snow.
To her the one I speak who tried to pry me loose,
...

When you forget me and in the future
I am gone.

So much was by us both left unsaid
...

Do you believe, believe in a higher intelligence than
We currently possesse?
That intelligence that most living today would call God!
Set backs in the past that have been caused by man's
...

Grammatical complexity the young must have,
To coexist with their imortality.
The young nimble mind, the mind that swells as
Would a wave that crashes upon your rocky shore.
...

Beneath the hanging tower sealed lost and tender.
The humidity of soft comes often this first love.
Simple is the reminder of future happiness.
This, the most valuable tie of young relationships, love' s first glow,
...
