Monica Engeler Poems

I woke up this morning
Outside the sun was shining
Nothing seemed to be the matter
Yes, I also felt somewhat better.
...

I wish I had a sailboat
That I could drift far and away
It would let me ever float
And then take me home someday.
...

Inch by inch the snow piles high
The land is blanketed white
Cold air shivers the inner space
There is no grass about of any trace.
...

When friends see my better part
They think nothing is wrong
You look so happy and strong
How can there be something apart?
...

I stand up and search for answers of you
It is so unclear where you have gone
I want to see if those wings are really true
You see, your spirit still lives forever on.
...

I closed my eyes into an empty illusion
Everything appeared dark and alone
Then a light shownlike a bright delusion
I clenched the light I called my own.
...

Here I sit reflecting of tomorrow.
It will be Christmas day again
Our tree stood tall and vain
but my heart felt only sorrow.
...

I sit alone by my window side
A candle flickered near me for hope
I dreamt of a beautiful paradise.
...

I taught myself to play the piano
And then I learned to strum a guitar
One two three one two three but no zero
The guitar has frets chords and those bars.
...

A misty morning sky awoke the day
The air blowed brisk winds this way
The breeze sent time in a maze
Oh! People ran in a craze.
...
