Paul Reason Poems

A young man comes to rest
The day is done and he has given his best
But the goals that he set for himself are unmet
And the goals were not lofty that he set
...

That moment of hesitation
That feeling of desperation
You feel weak in this field
Because of you skills degradation
...

I sit at my desk and the seat is cold The pain in my side makes me feel old The absence of movement makes me realize the load That I currently carry is pushing me into overload
I live life at breakneck speed Flying forward struggling to breath The mere sensation of a slowdown Is so unusual that is sends me to meltdown
Look at my life like a truck on the highway Onward forward doing things the right way Now as I fly down the road as I think The details of life are gone in an eye blink
I feel like a missile flying through the air Faster than the mind can think or care Then the slowdown hits and all that was shaken off Come back to my shoulders like a cape of cloth
...

A flame in the rain

A flame in the rain
It doesn't last long
...
