Lyken L. Warren Poems

LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SPACE
THERE WAS NO CLOCK, THERE WAS NO TIME, NOR ANY MAN TO COUNT IT
THEN FROM THE VOID, DARK REACH OF SPACE, A WONDROUS GLOBE APPEARED
BUT STILL NO CLOCK, STILL NO TIME, AND STILL NO MAN TO COUNT IT
...

Tis morning--half awareness--the soft patter of rain on my roof
Consciousness--realization--I have been granted one more day
As I pull the blinds and gaze out on the world a wonderful scene unfolds And as the river flows and the meadow glows in the quietude after the
soft summer rain
...

WERE IT IN MY POWER
I COULD BRING TO YOU THE SUN
BUT DARLING IN YOUR PRESENCE
IT'S BRILLIANCE WOULD BE GONE I COULD BRING YOU PRETTY FLOWERS
...
