Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Through the madness.
Through the blowing winds that test,
With each storm that pushes...
Me away to become upset,
...

The one thing about that which few people see,
And within their reach...
Close enough to knock them off their feet.
Are those arguments they begin to start,
...

I 'still' expect from each day to progress forward.
From something I've done yesterday to remind me.
And adapting to change I have always accepted.
Since my mother use to frequently say to me,
...

What's going on?
Why are the electricians changing the lights...
On the 'Let Truth Be The Abundance For Your Life'
Sign?
...

When one chooses a direction to follow,
At the advice of false friends...
Whose recommendations are taken,
Over the disapproval of a lover or mate...
...

This is a coincidence.
I didn't expect to see you here.
Oh...
And by the way,
...

Life comes to present to us all,
Losses to accept to eventually let go.
Even though lamented sentiments,
Are difficult to experience...
...

A repeating of a fact,
Is a fact repeated.
It doesn't matter who attempts to pray it away,
With a request to have an opportunity...
...

Some are so obsessed,
With the assessing done they do to others...
They either are not aware of it or forget,
There are those familiar with the process of it...
...

'Why? '

That's a good question.
With a simplistic urging connected.
But let's eliminate, for now...
...
