David Baker Poems

The silence of the night is calling;
It echoes through the rain.
Its ambience emits a resonance,
Too vast to contain.
...

Hmm…
Ah, yes! Seasons.
Sorry. I digress for various reasons.
...

I am shaking like a leaf,
drifting on a lonely lake.
But when my roots take hold,
watch the earth around me
...

What vile resides in the hearts of some,

to do such terrors for reasons so selfish and dumb?
...

A child found a castle in the sand.
He proclaimed aloud, 'This is my land! '
The boy wore a paper crown,
And stomped the towers to the ground.
...

Anxiety is an endless hallway
With no doors, no windows, no escape.
Anxiety is a bottomless sea of dread,
Filled with thoughts you can't silence.
...

A Cassandra calamity
is about to explode
Beyond my capacity
My calm erodes
...
