Liilia Talts Morrison Poems

De ol' road
don't use et no more
don't go nowhere
jes drops off
...

Time to heal
time to deal
with ravages
of yore
...

They say old soldiers never die
they simply fade away
and rumor has it cowards pass
as oft as fear holds sway
...

At last gasp i could plainly see
the answer always dwelt in me

So sure is God's divine decree
...

You cannot peel an onion
without a stream of tears
or fix a broken mirror
that you have loved for years
...

I do not have a garden
a hedge as fence or wall
no well trod path to travel
no swing from branches swaying
...

I love to dwell in scripture
its graceful turns of phrase
so flowing and so poignant
in ancient hallowed ways
...

The daisies of my youth have died
as one by one its petals dried
green fields of summer but a dream
harsh winter looms 'neath autumn's gleem
...

No guns, no bombs nor tanks of steel
can stop creation's flow
the cycle of birth, life and death
as sure as winds must blow
...

Bread of life and living water
calling still to dine on these
nourishing and ever healing
thirst and hunger to appease
...
