Janice M Pickett Poems

Thank You God for this universe
In your message to man you did say
'man be grateful and open your eyes
see the beautiful light of the day'
...

A galaxy filled with worlds
Shining stars in clusters of golden hue
Reality as we see it
...

Stinking hot and sweaty
each day that I am here
Not a dropp of rain about
it's staying dry I fear
...

Take

gentle soft steps
Crushed leaves cannot be gathered
...

There comes a time when we have to stop
Time when the pressure gets heavier
than our shoulders can carry
This is my time...
...

Spirit cannot be heard by an untrained ear
Wisdom comes from within
where the spirit dwells in harmony with wisdom
...

A touch of unreality requires a deep understanding of oneself
The times that we stand outside our inner being
lost to what could be moments even hours
feeling there are two of us instead of one
...

Nothing actually MAKES a poet

nor is one born that way
Emotions don't give you the skill to write
...

Life can be dark and often hard
with trials and heartbreak sorry and pain
But through those sad times
a ray of sun shines through
...

If ever anyone wanted a better friend
they could not pass up my Joan
She is a woman wise in ways
Many have never known
...
