Walterrean Salley Poems

Time flies like a summer breeze.
Yesterday, it was spring;
Now, fall is in the air—
Just waiting in the wings.
...

The sky’s beset and overcast—
Misty, melancholy and gray
There’s a sound of rolling thunder
Precipitation’s on the way.
...

Pickled peppers on the shelf.
Books and toys on table.
Years have brought change,
But not at Chernobyl.
...

Tell your story—
Dare to share
Of your time
And sojourn here.
...

Someone said that I’m a dreamer,
And if that’s really true—
I’d like to dream the kind of dreams
That few dreamers do.
...

One day the winds
Began to blow in my life—
Effecting no small change,
But those so overwhelming
...

Life is a marathon—
And that is a fact—
With hurdles, relays
And balancing acts.
...

What are your ambitions?
And what is your goal?
Dare to follow your dreams,
If you should be so bold.
...

Put all man's failures in a heap,
And then they would exceed the skies.
But God's great mercy far exceeds
The sum of all man's sinful pride.
...

Life's path leads to mountains,
And around the bend,
And into deep valleys—
Never seeming to end.
...
