Danny Speicher Poems

The heat of the day has come, now, to pass
And the sun dips low for it’s final bow
The night’s cool chill, from the North, does blow now
The lake ripples slightly like old stained glass
...

Life with love and tragedy, they each flow
In the inner sanctums that all men know
Each lead to another, and another
Paths lead to one then, soon, to the other
...

Oh Phoenix of old, how could we forget you?
With your wings of fire and eyes all ablaze
In your stride, horrors and joys of earlier days
How awesome, how majestic is your form, so true.
...

So long has it been since I last tread past
The safe plane of what is to what might last
So at ease was I seeing for miles
And, not once, facing life's tests and trials
...

I do not know what tomorrow may bring
I can't see far beyond this horizon
Yet, I will praise He who knows tomorrow
For, I know, my path, He's had His eye on
...

If never I find what my heart longs for
If never I see the journey unfold
If never my heart knows the joy of love
Still, I can say I have riches, untold
...

One line in the symphony
The musician hears it in his head
A single note or, perhaps, a chord
One by one on the paper they see
...

So long since I last heard Your voice call me
So long since I last heard You say my name
So long wanting and yearning to be free
Knowing that I'm the only one to blame

...

What happens when my support beams all fail
One by one they each crumble before me
And take with them the structures of my life
The rooms of my life that they once upheld
...

To whomever you are, out there searching
For me, as I am here, searching for you
I wish I were perfect and unbroken
A great, unblemished masterpiece to view
...
