Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Today it's so hard...
To do what's right.
It's so hard...
Not to get uptight.
...

If there has been a pain to feel,
With a doing of it and from it heal...
A lesson to learn has been earned.
And the experience aids to add wisdom.
...

One who finds they have found,
A silenced mind free of clutter...
Isn't seeking for anything missed.
That which is reminisced to do,
...

What is it about failure,
That some seem to have come...
To enjoy it done and love seeing the most?
Has this been an intentional acquired desire?
...

If I walked with a comfort amongst shadows,
What life can I say I have to experience it...
If I followed too afraid to place my own footsteps?
And not have enough faith to create my own path.
...

Not one moment of heartache,
To put broken pieces back together...
Inflicted with intention done bu others,
Did I come to enjoy.
...

A living to experience,
Going through a process...
Is quite different,
Then a sitting to listen...
...

The best advice I refused to take,
Was to choose one pursuit.
And concentrate on it.
With a doing done to do well.
...

I search to climb the mountains,
To do to seek to reach those peaks.
I search to climb the mountains,
The ones I'm told impossible.
...

Perception of the concept,
Benefits...
The ones who keep it and unchanged.
Perception of the concept,
...
