Lydia Thacker Poems

I want to read a billion words
Write a song to change the world
I want to sing the song of my heart
Teach my son about girls
...

To make you smile,
I'd move the stars,
if I could find a way.
...

I have no words
With which to convey
The amount of hope
You have led me to find
...

If I could teach the people
to open their eyes,
look past the darkness,
reach for the skies,
...

Remember my laugh,
fresh and deep
as the needed embrace,
tranquil
...

Mother Moon, shine bright this night
as I cradle the one I love;
guard his dreams with thy light
and rock him from above.
...

Darkness looms and
shadows grow long.
The moon hides behind
a thick veil of clouds,
...

Shadowed voices
Lamplight cannot illuminate
Lines on the wall
Pouring down
...

As I was walking by a pungent lake
Just outside of Meigs,
I stopped and did a double-take,
A frog with four hind legs! ! ! ! !
...

Death, you intimate nightmare apparition,
you cast us forth into galactic night,
extricate us from the unrelenting slavery
of our mortal toil
...
