Chris Schleier, Jr. Poems

Agency belongs to you

displayed in what you say and do
...

How much can the only heart take
when love and life combine,

When solitude and misery
...

Bolts of life

lightning fast
...

Fear not, My child, what man can do...
Let all thy daily course pursue
that which from heaven brings thee bliss:
Remember this. Remember this.
...

Of what Gods make, there is no end.
That pow'r was wrought in deeps and space.
Those pow'rs endowed on High to trend
created worlds, and stars, and race.
...

What more is life than empty space?
a void that we must fill
with works of good, unceasing faith
and Gospel-centered will!
...

Though through my life success I seethe

I often wonder...
...

I hear her singing in the day,

in tune to my desires...
...

This is a personal record of times

an account of my life:
...

The wisps of the rainbow
streak through the sky:

The soaring spectrum of the tears
...
