Justin Phillips Poems

You find yourself glorified
through keyboard strokes
and lingo jokes,
tip-tip-tapping your way
...

Give me patience, give me strength,
give me courage to forgive.
Help me find the Self inside
which causes me to love, to live.
...

Is it too much to wish that I were cherished?
I thought that once I was, that I was cared for,
but now I find those false beliefs have perished,
and so I wonder what my heart was spared for.
...

I marvel at how
my thin lungs
with their spongy tissue
can breathe in oxygen
...

Oh, Teddy Bear, if you could speak,
to say the things I long to hear,
and Teddy Bear, if you could cry,
to shed with me a lonely tear...
...

Look and you shall see
Seek and you shall find
Listen and you shall hear
the great thoughts of the Universal Mind.
...

We didn't talk,
we didn't smile,
we only sat there for a while,
but you saw me
...

I open my hands
and let words
spill across the keyboard,
leaking from my
...

May tomorrow bring sunshine,
where today brought you rain,
may happiness find you
and ease all your pain.
...
