Barry Middleton Poems

many will say
the most beautiful thing is love
and this may be so
...

corruption only serves the self
it disregards the needs of others

corrupt government is a great evil
...

the trees I watch
have now grown old with me
along the road
that knows my destiny
...

the air is changing now
and winter soon will fade
the cloudless sky is blue
no more am I afraid
...

another soldier dies
a sweetheart gently cries

a wife falls to her knees
...

I gaze at you across my room
confused to know my eyes deceive

I wonder are you truly real
...

there is no beauty in a wall
they have a wicked use
to isolate our fear and greed
and evil and abuse
...

the march wind is stirring
and a spring tide awakes the sea
hope and blossoming are on the breeze
...

to live within a misty cloud
and never touch the earth
was always inspiration's source
unendingly since birth
...

I am lost in the woods where the path is a maze,
and still I will stay till the sun starts to fade,
where no one can find me in shadow and haze,
with safety of darkness to come to my aid.
...
