Sylvie Hauser Poems

Everyone says 'what goes up must come down',
but what about balloons floating into the clouds?
What about smoke drifting high 'til it's gone?
Or butterflies, bats, birds: the list keeps going on.
...

Forever may seem like a very long time,
But, really, it's gone in the blink of an eye
You may think it takes too long just to pass,
But later you'll wish it hadn't gone by quite so fast.
...

Friends are forever,
With lovers this may not be so.
First loves will come and first loves will go.
But friends keep their word when they say,
'I won't leave you, not ever! '
...

Walk up to two people who claim to believe.
Then ask, 'To your God, how true can you be? '
