Mike Barrett Poems

Within
But beyond
The silence of a moment
A solitary note
...

Snow had lately frosted earth
But one scant inch.
Life blue in sky, bled red, died black.
Spotless Soul alone,
...

We
Have not
To wait
For mysteries
...

Dylan. Donavan.
Lennon. Lightfoot.
McCartney.
...

You who seek to know me
Don't look far,
I am not far.
...

Slaves.
It is said that we are slaves
Each in his own way!
...

Beyond
The mind
Beyond
The heart
...

Snow had lately frosted earth
But one scant inch.
Life blue in sky, bled red, died black.
Spotless Soul alone,
...

That drunk
There
With the dirty whiskers
Old rags
...

I
Walked
Along
The ocean shore
...
