Liilia Talts Morrison Poems

People come and people go
ever changing to and fro
friendships fade or friendships grow
some we slowly come to know
...

I see secrets in your eyes
many ever changing lies
nimbly switching your disguise
newer twisted schemes devise
...

The hounds are nipping at my heels
with foaming mouths and lightning speed
wild wolves with ravenous sharp teeth
like lashing crashing roaring steeds
...

Precious is that ancient story
not a word is flawed
all the earth attracts its glory
like a lightnin rod
...

The world will fling so many rocks
that God can turn to building blocks
to raise a house of faith so strong
no hurricane that comes along
...

See the evening shadows fall
my worn heart has felt so much
it has slowed down to a crawl
yet it pulses to your touch
...

What is a life but many forces
that push and pull us ever forth
surprising gifts from many sources
nudge and direct us South and North
...

She woke on a warm morning
and did some simple chores
her life had not been easy
her youth and joy closed doors
...

Soft raiment can be much desired
silk, velvet, satin oft admired
a shawl with borders of gold thread
and finely fashioned roses spread
...

She was a tenant in our building
frail energetic dressed so bright
clothing like veils and rainbow baubles
and patterns like a butterfly
...
