MAX HOLLY: Poetry
THE KEY 7/7/2007
Cleaning out the desk today
I found inside a drawer,
beneath a stack of holiday cards,
photographs of yore;
A gift wrapped up with a note
writ in familiar hand
with words printed on the top,
"What I was---I am.
When you read these thoughts left behind
let your days ne'er be bitter-filled;
For certain as there is heaven above,
I will be with you still.
Forever and for always,
freely given from the start:
A token of my trust in you...
the key to my heart."
PALADIN 6/8/2007
AWAKE!
With the nightengale's serenade of enticement
coaxing the coy morning light closer and closer,
a song of resolvent equation,
illuminating mysteries once hidden by darkness,
resonating incandescent remembered images
which the night cannot retrieve,
breathes life into the genesis of this day.
A shifting realignment of boundaries,
awakening the ability to bridge the chasm
between imagination and the accomplished,
concept and the realized...
heaven and earth.
Fulfillment of a legendary destiny
written by your living and loving hand;
With visions that will not sleep,
free from all nightmares and hesitation,
rise up from your slumber to walk proudly
in the waking dream of the expanding dawn.
PISCINA 5/10/2007
Within the transparent pool,
shimmering delights of wisdom
float playfully in stratified syntax;
A lamination of vision.
Suspended musings reveal a secret meaning:
The turning of the page...
significant as what was written.
Open to various interpretations,
yet with only singular purpose;
Escaping the questioning weight of gravity's burden;
Living free
in the Soul of the Mind and Heart
of Eternal Grace.
