Monument

Posted in Questions on Nov 9, 2014 by Anthracite

I will be your monument
said no one but a fool
reducing men to nothingness
bereft of dreams
left to drool

hopes cannot hang on the flesh of men
and a martyr’s just skin and bone
anyone’s God is not of man
but made of wood
and cold hard stone.

Quietly

Posted in Life on Nov 9, 2014 by Anthracite

Great things come of a man sitting quietly
silence grasps desperately at the still mind
and imagination blooms like a child
discovering a red crayon for the first time

so cherished are the quiet times in an older life.
