Poems

Poems are a way of expressing the heart.  At moments when we are at our weakest and strongest.  They take the ordinary and magnify the normal.  Poets take courage in what they write.  No fear in what others might see or read.  They are a work of art that is made of words.  Here are a few poems that I like.  Enjoy! :)

A Clear Midnight   by Walt Whitman

"This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,

Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson

done,

Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the

themes thou lovest best,

Night, sleep, death and the stars."

Fire's Dance

by Tammi Renee Auman

"Dancing with the wind.
It seems to be singing.
A song of pure joy.
Of true love's kiss.
Millions of stories.
Waiting to be told.
Awaiting someone.
To pay Attention.
Until that time.
It will keep on dancing.
With stories still waiting.
To be told."
