Linda Ori Poems

There is a heaviness in the silence.....
Crystal flakes descend
Like a million tiny diamonds
Spilling from the heavens;
...

Time passes.....
And still we fail to see
How brief is our mortality;
Days flow
...

Brilliant blue splattered
With crayola colored leaves -
Wind blown and tattered.
...

Treasure friendships while you may,
The ones for life, or just one day -
Each time we meet and share a thought
Is a precious moment not forgot;
...

The edge of reality,
The breath of a dream,
Not quite on the inside -
Removed from the scheme;
...

I would be your sunshine on a cold and cloudy day,
I would be your voice when you find no words to say,
I would be your comfort and your shelter from the storm,
I would be the fire in your heart that keeps you warm;
...

Oh, my dear fair weather friend,
Do you think my love would end
If you forgot to spread your coat
So I could walk across the moat
...

Come love me just a little
When I have a rainy day,
Come love me just a little
When my skies have turned to gray,
...

I lay my hand upon your chest
And feel the man within -
The trembling of a heavy heart
Beats just beneath the skin;
...

While talking on the phone today
I realize just how far away
You are from me in time and space
Any yet the memory of your face
...
