Michael Carlson Poems

Walking down the twisting road,
upon my shoulders,
a burden of woe.
...

If it's me you're trying to find,
don't bother,
If it's me you want to find
don't bother
...

Fly
Fly away
From troubles
From pain
...

Spinning......Spinning...
Everything is blurred....
Sounds are hallow...
Voices slurred...
...

Leave these people
This land
These countries
This world
...

Des-olate-
  loneliness and that, is, it
And that, is it-
That's all 'there'll e-ver be-,
...

What Hope Is
Hope is...the beam of light that shines in the darkness
Hope is...the the diamond buried in the rock
Hope is...the fire burning in the snow
...

What's so special about music
To bring people to their knees
To pull people from the ashes
To raise people from the sea
...

The black of night
Gives most people fright
But me
I feel free
...

Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
I watch as the hand on the clock
Goes round and round
Speeding up
...
