Walterrean Salley Poems

If someone were to tell me
That you’ve never had a down day,
I’d believe it. That is
If I didn’t know you for myself.
...

There are many
Reasons for being.
So, whether to
Exemplify true faith
...

Our world has grown colder
Much colder than before.
The streets and the headlines
All seem to tell us so.
...

Of all the bustling that’s a part of life
Help me to focus on You Lord this day
That I might perform that which I should do
That I may relate that which I should say.
...

Nature sculpted great mountains,
Painted clouds in the skies.
And dug the ancient rivers—
Both, deep and wide.
...

Knowledge is powerful,
Light is energy.
Freedom is priceless
And victory sweet.
...

I looked outside
On skies of blue—
It was sunny and bright
With incredible hues.
...

I submit
In this rhyme
That a clock
Embodies “time.”
...

O how strange love seems:
Height, depth,
Length and width;
Its entire realm.
...

Time flies like a summer breeze.
Yesterday, it was spring;
Now, fall is in the air—
Just waiting in the wings.
...
