Two Poems: Overbearing and A Few Hours More

Dec. 12, 2004

Overbearing
[Dedicated to Islam

Many come by me walking
I shant remember but a few,
For those who came overbearingly
I have forgotten you

It is like the bobbing of a tree
Bowing in a storm
I remember not the wind at all
Once the storm has gone.

A Few Hours More
[Dedicated to the Chinese Poets

New eyes An old man
Cow bells ringing on cows in Garmisch
The Valley of the Mesa Verde
The fish-fry in Beijing
On my plate of life
Appear many things
A war that never goes away
Music and Poetry that helps me
Live each day
My bookcase is filled
My lamp is warm
I see night approaching
As I read on
The birds are now gone;
So much I notice now
Things, things I never did before.
Along the road of life Ive learned
There are many, so many doors.
Tomorrow, I know:
Ill still hear those cowbells ringing
In the Garmisch winds;
How marvelous to have been part
Of all of this, Ive lived;
To have been
One of so manythat might
Have been, and was.
I am what I am, just a
Breathe on earthy shores
Content as a fish, I might say
With a few hours more.
