Marilyn Shepperson Biography

The fighting is over, the battle is won
Overhead the crows are gathering
The dead lay like a grisly carpet
Those not dead groan or cry and pray softly
...

As night falls, the bats do flit
From the old belfry tower
A barn owl silently ghosts
Across the flowery meadow
...

As I wander down the lonely road of life
I wonder why all I've ever had
Is a truck load of strife
...

There is a power in taking
But more power in giving
There is a power in revenge
But more power in forgiving
...

Sit back, relax, let your mind go free
Chasing down the paths of poetry
Tumble thoughts around in your head
Wonder whether to use this word or that
...
