Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When it dawns,
Some get more excited by the light.
An enlightenment occurs to entice,
With a light so bright...
...

Once a close focus of it,
Begins to soak in...
A noticing of those with low self esteem,
Seems to over-populate...
...

People 'peceiving' themselves protected,
By time they have taken to invest in deceptions...
Discover their minds slowly infested.
To believe their misdeeds gone undetected,
...

Each one was given an ax.
To clear the debris on paths they chose.
For the purpose of pursing,
Their dreams and wishes to fulfill.
...

Underselling a delivery,
Whether purposely done...
Consciously or not,
That eventually impresses...
...

Radiant is the morning dew to mist.
As if for the first time in my mind,
I've come to see and appreciate it.
And on the horizon a rising Sun,
...

Their entire belief system,
Isn't being updated or enhanced.
But completely refurbished.
And, revamped.
...

Fear is dearest,
To be held close mostly...
By those choosing to hear about it,
Being near and how it appears to avoid.
...

Certain images revealed to express,
You and others may not accept.
Few do when something new,
Comes into view to be introduced.
...

Showing respect and kindness to give,
Can sometimes stress.
And be too much to continue to digest,
For the one who is perceived...
...
