Mike Barrett Poems

There
Are among you,
You who read these poems,
Those who think
...

It is a lonesome road
That each of us is travellin'
Although at times
It may not so appear.
...

There was a time
Or there will be
When love will come
Your way -
...

Were I to hold you
In any degree of esteem, of respect,
...

Within
But beyond
The silence of a moment
A solitary note
...

(December 2013)

Patrick,
We spoke to your mum this week
...

Beingness IS.
Love IS.
All that is IS.
All that ever was IS.
...

Now as you lie and you listen
To the lyrics and music of sound
Let go of the chains by which you are bound
And drift into yourself through this song.
...

Soul,
You come to me
Asking for experiences -
Why?
...

Hear water breaking in a brook
Over rocks that are timeless with age -
A sound near as old as the earth itself
With a meaning beyond any sage.
...
