Gerry Legister Poems

The night came and went quickly,
Scintillating moments followed ghostly shadows,
drifting out into early morning dew,
People getting ready to start their daily duty,
...

Once more the road beneath our feet quakes
Where marauding faith in generosity appeared
With kind words embrace enemies within our gates,
And turn that grace to strike hearts unprepared.
...

I do not wish to fret on the bed of death
For the relief of pain circling my body,
Besiege around the gap forcing out breath
Making faded strength heirs to eternity.
...

I am strong only after I become weak
I am wiser now because I have been foolish,
I am older now and sinews are ready to break
I am still making progress, but I am in no rush.
...

They wore Armoury of hailstones
As a cloud to cover the land,
And come up with many nations
To make walls fall to the ground.
...

I will leave all the struggles and the trouble
of the worlds conquest by every pleasure found,
And go to a place where the wind softly whistle
in the breeze with no tempest snares around.
...

I watched the gentle waves lapping the shore
And taste the salty breeze from the ocean air
I saw seagulls flying horizontally without a care,
Spreading their wings in the calm atmosphere.
...

The sun rises high over the tropical trees
White patchy clouds survey the blue sky,
Time drifts slowly into the clouded breeze
With the colors red, green and gold passing by.
...

Above all dreams and mythical realm,
The greater life of paradise could claim.
Higher than the stars in hidden atmosphere
To the far galaxies without measure.
...

When I look into your eyes
I see a beautiful sunrise,
It's the place to be enticed
Walking in sunset paradise.
...
