This new YouTube recording has ten of the poems from my book, Strange Words.
Strange Words: Poems and Prayers
A Little Adventure—poem
Here is a new video of two of my poems: A Little Adventure (written a few months before my mother’s passing) and Half-Way There (written a few days after my mother’s passing).
A Little Adventure
Why are you worried?
It’s just a little adventure.
There’s plenty more to come.
It won’t be long
and we’ll see you again.
We’re never far apart.
You’ll barely be gone
and, once more, we will
be uniting to restart.
Three Mystical Poems by Meister Eckhart
Here is my video of three Meister Eckhart mystical poems:
Why So Many Souls
Always Kissing
Intimate
Great Blue—poem
Who can stand it—
this uncertain bond?
Shall it be
swallowed by
the great blue mouth of sea?
The Great Death—poem
I stood at the back of the funeral room.
Very still.
Black dress. Black coat.
It’s cold.
Purposely alone.
Ears closed.
Not wanting to hear
the tirade of sweet lies.
The Space Between Us—poem
Mind the space, so long endured,
it’s best for our protection.
I hope it’s true, for if it’s not
a thousand loves have I betrayed.
Look closer, dear,
a voice it sings as if it was a lullaby.
But if I heed it may become
the lure of my demise.
Silent Like Sleep—poem
You appear by my side,
silent like sleep.
Soft hair, a little wild.
No fear, gentle like a calm river.
I turn and catch your gaze,
before you have time to look away.
Your eyes are searching inside mine.
Perhaps, they are mine.
