Walterrean Salley Poems

He became rich from
Making others laugh, but he,
Within, only cried.
...

Today should be remembered—
Not only for its feat,
But there's no other like it;
And thus, it is unique.
...

A sparrow perched atop
A roof
Encountered myriads
A spoof
...

Daily, each pens the story
Of his own life:
Letter by letter,
Word by word.
...

Oh, how sweet the rose.
On and on its fragrance goes,
With a heavenly scent.
And when the heart is sore
...

Gifted child. Inspired one,
Whose soul dines in solitaire—
Endowed with inspiration
That he alone can share—
...

</>Fallen warriors, gone too soon:
The best, the brave—bold and bright.
Like a comet thrust from the skies
On a late-summertime night.
...

The fog is an illusion—
A master of disguise,
Which hides the tangible
Before our very eyes.
...

God is in the sun
At the dawning of daylight.
God is in the stars,
And the moon at night.
...

I rely on my faith each day
To walk this pernicious way
And "what a journey, " I must say
...
