Frances Ayers Poems

The soul is darkened
By anger and bitterness
Hiding hope and love
...

Shadows
Darkening doors
Surrounding the night
Infiltrating the dreams of men
...

Uncommon knowledge
Gains strength like a hurricane
During a storm
...

Complex and moody
Requires cultivation
Produces fine crop
...

Like a new seedling
Covered by the darkened earth
Man waits to emerge
...

I ask God how far and wide
The breach between
The earth and sky
But can only dream
...

For all the love you freely gave
The outstretched hand through strain and stress
And words of praise you often lent
Of hope and smiles you quickly gave
...

Whispers of the past
Flood the eyes and ears
And visions like a blast
Announce the time of year
...

Souls soaring higher
Heaven is within our reach
Of those who seek truth
...

For many blessings large and small
For love that lasted through the years
And for all the friendships I recalled
That carried me through many tears
...
