Walterrean Salley Poems

A day in the presence of God.
A day with those whom you love.
A day with prayer and a song
It's melody from above.
...

Spring is coming—
Soon to arrive.
Fowls to their nests
And bees to their hives.
...

Flowers,
A thing of beauty,
Suffer much to make us happy.
Even facing the knife
...

Youth is fortune,
And like a fortune it is spent.
But one must do so wisely,
Unless they will lament
...

The East Coast was in for a fight;
It'd be an unforgettable night.
A monstrous storm too much to bear,
Sandy rained-down terror and fear.
...

Christmas is but once a year
And what a magical time.
Hymns and kind wishes
As bells begin to chime.
...

There is so much to do
In just a single day.
Help me to accomplish, Lord,
All that I will or may.
...

Our thoughts go
To Aurora Colorado,
Where many a bleeding heart
Brace beneath
...

Where has the time gone?
The years have slipped away.
Every time you look around,
There is a brand “new” day.
...

Little purple jasmine
On the incline—
Quiet and resigned.
Soaking the rays
...
