Patrick Szwaja Poems

watching life pass by

on its convoluted path
...

i never heard thoreau’s quote

“find eternity in each moment”
...

seek out your own light

this corner is mine
...

the world takes to a tilt

the trees touch their roots
...

if my words of darkness

can bring just a little light
...

writhing roots of the tree of life

agonizing throes stem forth
...

no sunset is nearly as beautiful

no moonlit field as elegant
...

let the air breathe

out of you and into me
...

when the summer breeze tickles my beard

i want to open my eyes to find you here
...

beautifully spoken words

are all she’s ever heard
...
