On poetry

On poetry

a few of David’s poems and art from the last few weeks. . .

Nothing can separate us

Birth

Death

What we’ve done

Who we shall become

Mountains

Valleys

Governments

Borders

Heavens

Hells

Created things

Human beings

Language

Race

Failure

Success

Wealth

Health

Failing

Ailing

Flailing

Catch and release

Everything

Nothing

Breath

Silence

After all

Love.

Your Waterfalls

No rock is hard enough

To resist your water

Flowing

Carving

A path directly through

My heart of stone

Deep calls to deep

In the thunder of your waterfalls

You need nothing but eternity;

To break over me

Dislodge and baptize me

Day and night

You wash me

Inside out

Not until I am clean,

But until I am yours.
