Linda Ori Poems

God's love is unconditional
It is not bound by strings,
He does not give the bird a voice
Then tell it what to sing;
...

Two minds in sync
Have forged a link
One single thought
By two hearts caught;
...

Upon the highest peak she stands
Angel or the devil's spawn?
Windswept tresses red as flame
No one knows from whence she came;
...

How do I decide
Something undecidable -
Tears me up inside;
...

So fragile in its radiance,
And yet you saw my light,
The shining all but vanquished
Like shadows in the night;
...

Waking to the early morning sound
Of a single trolling motor
Off in the misty distance
With the scent of pristine pine
...

My wonderful son has a way with the girls -
He's tough and he's buff, and he has lots of curls -
He loves to play sports and he's usually found
Lifting, or batting or golfing a round;
...

When the night is long and my sleep is fretful
I go to a place where my mind flows free -
A distant shore where the wind blows softly
Sweet music of the ancients engulfs me;
...

Wandering down the wooded path,
A sparkle 'neath a tree
Captures my attention -
A forest sprite I see;
...

You say you need me in your life
You pledge undying love -
But there are places in your world
That you can't rise above;
...
