ALL I CAN DO IS WHAT I AM
All I can do is what I am
I can’t be better than this-
...
I AM THE MAN WHO WAITED
I am the man who waited
For the poem to be written
...
HUMAN GREATNESS IS NOT ALL
Human greatness is not all-
Even Shakespeare will be dust-
...
I AM NOT YOUR BEST OH GOD
I am not your best oh God
I with my questions doubts criticisms fear-
...
I WALK OUT INTO THE NIGHT
I walk out into the night
Away from the noise-
...
OH WORDS OF A POEM
Oh words of a poem
Oh wondrous being-
...
I CANNOT PROMISE THE UNIVERSE WILL GROW WISER AND WISER
I cannot promise the Universe will grow wiser and wiser-
I cannot know that greater lights will shine towards the end-
...
THERE WILL COME A DAY/ WHEN I NO LONGER WRITE
There will come a day
When I no longer write-
...
GOD HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH IN LIFE
God has given me so much in life
How can I not be grateful?
...
HAD I WRITTEN LESS
Had I written less
And had it been more perfect-
...
