Susan Williams Poems
I need to find time-
a scrap of time
unnoticed
by the demands of everyday life
...
Fireflies die
Stars wink out of existence
Butterflies fall from the sky
Rivers take the path of least resistance
...
.
I have no heart today.
I think I have lost it somewhere along the way
From yesterday to today.
...
..................Rain Washing The World Green
.
I have a homing bird feeling about
the rain falling
...
.
the ghosts are walking again
walking and talking in the night again
sorrow is eating my bones again
...
.
The mourning dove
visual manna from heaven above
beauty and delicacy in one form sailing
...
We live from day to day to day
and we play and we play and we play
we always have and we think we always will
yes there is a brain cell that knows that end it will
...
.
the girl waited beneath the golden tree
the golden tree shaped like a vase
a vase of golden leaves
...
.
you say we should shake it off
you say get over it
you say it's not good for us
...
Afterwards I googled my heart out
but found to my vast surprise
nothing, not a thing
monumentally
...
.
The river deep and dark
~~~flowing through the night
carrying flotsam and jetsam
...
.
In her eyes
did you see
the long lavender look of goodbye?
...
In my life there is room after room of good things
my man is one room for whom thanks-I-am-giving.
.
I do not know what good seeds I have been sowing
...
oh come oh come
hosts of heavenly angels
oh come
Cherubim and Seraphim
...
............sitting here in the stillness
.............................staring
...............staring out the window
...at darkness my friend and my foe.
...
I woke up this morning
and I was mourning
weary and broken
my life burnin' down to ashes and smokin'
...
.
It is a complex and amazing thing
to be a wife and mother
- -isn't it?
...
The Best Poem Of Susan Williams
A Scrap Of Time
I need to find time-
a scrap of time
unnoticed
by the demands of everyday life
that chews up every morsel of time it can find.
I want to meditate on these stray birds of thought-
I want to know that my life
was more than washing dishes
and waiting for the phone to ring
bearing news of joy or sorrow.
