Ray Lucero Poems

Disasters aplenty, run-rampant today
Why? You may ask with look of dismay

What causes natural disasters you naively inquire
...

First monkey covered his eyes and spoke,
“See no evil”...
By refusing to see and confronting evil
Victims are born of doubt, guilt and fear
...

They came;
To flee oppression,
To thwart poverty,
To support families,
...

I so look forward to my comfy bed at night
Nesting in quilts 'n pillows of soft down
As aimless as when a leaf takes flight
In dreams who shall I be tonight?
...

(A Prayer)

'When you have, everything,
You have everything, to lose'
...

Today while driving a rural road
just a few minutes from my house,
I saw a black dog running toward me on
the right shoulder of the road,
...

I offer all I am or will ever be,
My prayers, deeds, the all of me

To serve and give to my Dear Lord,
...

P-oets
E-ngaged
A-ctively
C-onfidently
...

He walks through dark woods in quiet of night,
As bats and barn owls launch into flight
...

I sit in the still quietness of morning;
Eyes closed, cross-legged
...
