I LISTENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN/TO THE POEMS I LOVE
I listened over and over again
To the poems I love
...
IF THERE WERE ONLY A POEM
If there were only a poem
That could redeem me
...
HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND
He was a good friend
And a help to me-
...
AND IF I WERE A POET
And if I were a poet
And wrote poems
...
DARKNESS SURROUNDS
It is still night
Darkness surrounds
...
I AM WITHOUT POETRY
I am without poetry
...
There is so much Beauty in the world
There is much to see and enjoy and love
And so much is easily available to us now
How blessed we are
...
ALL THE BEAUTY OF ALL THESE POEMS
All the Beauty of all these poems
Will never be known
...
Not to think about the sick friends
Not to think about those my age
...
