Jeff Rushton Poems

Appearance is oblivious to the blind.
Rhetoric is diminutive to the deaf.
Actions are absent from the inoperative.
Yet...

Appearance is as important as perseverance, adherence, and indecisive reluctance
The shirt you show
The pants you tow
The accessories that glow
...

All humans carry baggage
Whether a truck-load of bags carried with a heavy, wide load
A wallet that only appears when needed or told
All have many opportunities to check their baggage and fly
...

Always dreaming of things to come,
Always looking for power to overcome.
Always searching but never seeking.
Always striving but never internally diving.
...

A beacon, marker, oasis, and goal
Floating in the heavens, glowing with energy and soul
Ensample to all, the true path to Home
We may look at its patriarch for guidance and direction, soul
...

The greatest waterfalls flow in perfect rhythmic might, yet with the subtlety of a birds feather carried by the nights wind, reflecting occasional light
The moonlit nights I have seen on many eves tranquil and clean
The colors, the shades, the desire for it to stay
A movie played with every scene surpassing in greatness and
...

The treasure, so pure and pristine, unmistaken
An angel of light, love and unmistakable trust
You treasure more the others hand, when in vice you pleasingly stand
Heart and eyes put for the apparent sign
...
