Walterrean Salley Poems

Getting Older
My heart is smitten
For the beauty of fall.

It seems
Impossible
That one should live for more
Than one hundred twenty years, but
...

At four-feet-five and
Standing right tall, he was a
Giant of a man.

She ran until she
Dropped, and then got up and ran
Until she had won.

I hear the bells
Of Christmastime.
So loud and clear
The echoes chime
...

Love's thread, bold and bright,
Outshines all other.
A weaving of sheer delight,
Its sphere reaches further.
...

Bind me with love's strong cord
In heart and soul and mind.
Kindness, peace, endurance—
Much more in love I find.
...

There was a girl who’d found a dime,
And thus the bells began to chime.
She brought herself some candy,
And thought that it was dandy.
