JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

I can't win today
I can't find a way
I can only say
The best of me will stay
...

There is always
Something to be thankful for
Even on the darkest day
We have to search hard sometimes
...

Oh say
Come what may
Eternal flame
Or fade away
...

Of all the things
I may ever do
Let me treasure most
What is true
...

Kindness
Is the action
That best personifies love
And if I should ever find love
...

In the echo of the silence
In the pleading whisper of a wish
In the desolation of this desert
In the tears of the banished
...

I may never be the lover
You hope for
My youth may pass me by
...

Woe is the man
Who is abandoned
Who finds himself
Without a lover
...

I am the whispering winds of Autumn
I'm the sparkle of morninglight
I'm the echo in the darkness
I'm the chill in the air, its starkness
...

I wrote a poem today
But it is not the one
I feel an emptiness to say
Like a wounded song
...
