Saiom Shriver Poems

God looks on error
as a mother looks on a toddler's fall
.. or on her young son's
sculpture of mudballs
...

The policeman stood behind the bar
waiting for those who, with the
bathroom full, would come out
back to relieve themselves. He
...

For two millennia
Jesus has been calling
His disciples to less
violent more gentle ways..
...

Sagittarius,
The fire sign
Of reverence for truth,
Joy,
...

Meadows' red carpets
of poppies unfurled
their cheery welcome
to all the world.
...

How did the
sweet rain
transubstaniate
to juice of pear?
...

Sun's spinning whirl
makes colors twirl
and flowers curl
and phlox unfurl
...

How many murdered mammals,
birds, and fishes must one devour
before his body, already a mobile
cemetery, becomes a haunted house?
...

Like an elephant working
For ant rights,
Yogis often are not physically
Present as they send grace
...

May there be more
and more spots of Eden
... untouched by humans
like parts of Sweden
...
