Laurie Smithson Poems

Your light is hidden within you
Its time to let it glow
All the people that you love
Say you love them
...

Theres a book on the top shelf
I haven't read it in awhile
I saw a man read it yesterday
and something in it made him smile.
...

He proclaimed his love, though unrequited
And bared his tender covert passion, though
In vain held the wick, unignited
And prayed to set the fine taper aglow.
...

I used to feel so light and free
My spirit was bright, my heart full of glee
I had an idea  
I had a vision
...

In field of purple grass
My dreams take flight out through the fields
The song of birds, and bugs, and life
Sing of my Lavender Melody
...
