Randy McClave Poems

Have you ever heard the House Wren sing
To its mate just to satisfy,
You might say no, but you've seen them take wing
And to hear it? Well, neither have I.
...

One thing that I have heard
As I have often been told
Was the grass is always greener
On the other side of the road,
...

From every grain of sand
That falls from my hand
Through my fingers to the ground
To utter but not a sound,
...

Footprints in the sand
As deep as they might be,
Will someday be washed away
By the wind, or by the sea.
...

Come sit by my side
My mate did say,
So, we can talk about things
Before it is yesterday.
...

A world without a Tree
Would be a World without me
It would be a World I wouldn't know
A place where beauty isn't shown.
...

Did I cure a humans strife,
Or comfort did I give,
These are the questions that I ask,
For why, do I live.
...

We are one
Though We hear not
With the same ears,
Or cry not
...

Timmy the Seal was a friend of mine
I'm sorry for I heard He died,
Up in Alaska He was clubbed to death,
So I think, I will sit and cry.
...

'The Tree Still Stands! '
Exclaimed the boy clasping his hands
To his Father who was walking the rear,
And to his Grandfather who was nowhere near.
