Liilia Talts Morrison Poems

Those verses ring forever true
through ages and thru time
from frozen highlands to wide plains
and humid tropic climes
...

The dawn is breaking
my dreams were heavy
as the sun climbs
I have forgotten them all
...

They knew me as the silent one
who knew not what to say
fear ruled and colored all my days
tear stained my youthful ways
...

I dreamed of living in the midst
of a great heart that pulsed and beat
in rhythm with the universe
with perfect timing and complete
...

There is a treasured structure
with walls not built by hands
its roof rests on strong rafters
pale seagulls understand
...

Her garden was her poem
her garden was her song
she tended it with caring
each day and all day long
...

There is a flower that resembles
A flitting moth in fleeting flight
So fair its name has launched an island
To natives' ever new delight
...

The powerful woman does not raise her voice
She does not tell you what to do
She does not ask you for favors
She weeds her own garden
...

Long, long ago and bye and bye
Grandma would bake blueberry pie
The children waited for a slice
With hungry eyes like little mice
...
