A Pause for Poetry

By Gary Heath

Tears and Words

Emotions more than words express,
They flow under high duress,
A time of loss into the void,
Mere words we can only avoid.
Deep within no words muster,
Words only lose their luster.
So we let our tears flow well,
Saying what we fear to tell.

Sun Nurture

Early morning, I see the light,
As the sun inches out of night.
Darkness holds nocturnal sway,
Until the return of light of day.
Sheer illumination drives our lives,
As the welcome sunrise arrives.
Without sun we are darkly done,
For eons we depended on the sun.
I feel great joy to see the sun rise,
As it brightly nurtures all our lives.
