L. T. Padgett Poems

The river rages through the land
Cutting the earth with its mighty hand
Digging the canyons across the face of time
Revealing a land that is intertwined
...

The mountain is mighty, great and tall
Offers shelter to all creatures large and small
The clouds dance on the great mountains top
Whispering to the mountain to never stop
...

One begins to play the corporate game
Grabbing for power, wealth, and fame
Slowly dying by their very own hand
Ignoring truth, where they used to stand
...

Inner peace and light
Exposes the myth and destroys the night
Transforming and changing ones own mind
To always look forward and never behind
...

Is it me or my ego talking
Am I close to God or just a dead man walking
Make an attempt for spiritual gain
I pray that my labor is not in vein
...

When I came to Florida for summer break
My mom said go talk to the local boys for goodness sake
I ventured up the driveway not knowing what to do
Happened to run into this motley looking crew
...

The world is full of losers and winners
Some are seasoned pros while others just beginners
What makes a loser or winner in the thought of ones mind
Is there even such a paradox or are we just blind
...
