Rick Elpers Poems

Pensive and alluring
She stands near me
Words flowing in
A laughter peppered
...

She suffers her heart
Spread out before me
In her loving consideration
And hope.
...

Spectrum emotes
As sadness
As gladness
As a challenge
...

I struggle between two worlds
One born to me out of no choice
The other chosen
Both draw me to their reward
...

Being joyful amidst sorrow
Giving right action amidst sin
Acceptance amidst rejection
Hope amidst fear
...

During the meandering thoughts
Still aware of the scene round me
Crawled this wonder of creation
Headed straight for my path
...

Hard and cold it sits quietly
Awaiting attention unaware
Instruments of destruction
Transform to creation
...
