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
...

No sovereign inventor required to awaken
A chosen world's fire bound within
And unleash stowed magical benefit
Stirred by echoes of past life?
...

Mist in this chamber
waiting for release
Truth parked still below
faith reposed in peace
...

At four, a salute in uniform
adventure leads
his way
...

Something seeking causation
Unseen stalking salvation
Strong hungering foundation
Not knowing abdication
...

And peace be with you, too,
My Friend
And let us say this day
We end
...

A nurse enters the examination room
and smiles evaporate dark clouds above
and attending shadows dismiss submerged sadness
and within this universe, she's five years free
...

I know who I am, I am a snowman
that I am, and I am what I am
and I am a snowman, I am
...
