Dwayne Rankin Poems

I looked and saw, one lonely night,
Where 'cross the heavens, softly lie,
Bright burning points of light,
Strewn across and endless sky.
...

As I go into the Night (with a smile upon my face)
by Dwayne Leon Rankin

Give me sunshine on a streaming brook,
...

I wandered through, alone and lost;
Upon the sea found tempest tossed.
I looked to Him for love and hope;
As well His strength that I may cope.
...

They said that house was haunted;
The one on Shady Hill.
Desolate, unwanted;
alone it stood so still.
...

The sky was such a darkened hue;
Of billowing clouds and deepened blue.
But still some light doth filter through,
Upon the fields and forest, green.
...

When he was just a little lad,
The best of times, those times he had.
Outside his parents country home;
Those country fields there would he roam.
...

A snap in the air from that autumn breeze;
The stream that flowed, heard down below.
Mixed all within those autumn trees;
Brought beauty to this bright autumn show.
...

All across these wondrous lands;
Across are found, all laid with care.
Are stands of trees in far flung band,
As woodlands found so fair.
...

One day I thought to take a walk,
With winter coming soon.
On past the creek and through the woods,
That early afternoon.
...

With skies so blue; so bright to see;
With the sun; its shining light.
It brings within a feeling of glee,
Now that, gone is the night.
...
