Michael Eugene Cantrall Poems

Time is never taken,
Time is only given.
And only given those
Can hear devil’s laughter
...

Sun shines for you, Mom
Happy skies are your blue eyes
Stars twinkle for you
...

Alone she dances through this desert
With no direction, just a promise
The bitter waters yield no comfort
Drifting dunes whisper blame
...

Alone she dances through this desert
In search of purpose in this place
The slotted canyons echo entice
To ride this river wrapped in lace
...

Nothing to Something,
Then back?

Before I was, I wasn't
...

Restraint, you’re too late!
But, not to worry...
At the gate
You’ll be happily met
...

This vessel has known many seas
embraced alone all storms.
She can sense all hidden hazards
and needs no captain.
...

I enjoy how,
With the right combination of words,
Lots can be said,
With just a little bit
...
