Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Each day I awaken,
My blessings are confirmed.
And I pray...
With my expressed appreciation,
...

Rare is the case,
That someone is placed...
In a position to be forced,
To enrich themselves...
...

If what is done is not loved,
With it done to do...
Perhaps,
If it was less taxed...
...

With faith trust.
And revisited hindsight,
Unneeded to reveal.
Or in conversations to discuss.
...

It's like this...
If people knew happiness.
Felt to feel it.
And it known to exist.
...

Sitting to talk and gawking.
Too lost in stalking...
Dreams to envision.
And wishes wanting seen,
...

Some can receive.
And digest details.
Some can not.
Whether done from stubbornness.
...

Who has not had those moments.
The ones reminisced.
Flowing over with wishes,
Of having made...
...

Unrelenting sentiments,
With kept desires passionate.
Begins again,
On a lamenting journey.
...

Choking air begins to freshen.
Burning eyes from smog,
Clears polluted minds.
In awe with dropped jaws.
...
