Steph N. Janusz Poems

The choices I make
Are mine alone.
Not for you to
condemn nor condone.
...

A poet lives!
To bring his or her thoughts
to the page, for others
to read.
...

I walk a different path
To convert you is not my way
I walk a different path
Please hear what I say
...

In a dream
I am climbing a mountain.
No rope as aid,
Just my own hands
...

Time keeps tick ticking,
Slipping away from me.
Minutes slip into hours,
Hours to days, days to weeks
...

If we asked for the moon,
would you give it?
An outrageous request,
you would say.
...

In the garden my brothers, sisters and I planted,
In the garden where we play,
In the garden where we laugh and pray,
In the garden a memorial stands,
...

written in memory of my Aunt Rose Mary from her point of view

A long journey home
It is from birth to death
...

Written from the point of view of the deceased brother of my dad's friend

From above
The call has come
...
