A List of Poems
These are poems I’d like to write
The way the water and the light
Have their synchronicities
In powers and in properties
In the ways that they behave
Both as particles and waves
I’d like to write a poem about
When people came down from the trees
And how the world, without a doubt
Just like now had land and seas
Lakes and rivers, waterfalls
The Sun and the moon and stars at night
They had to make sense of it all
Magic, Religion, Science and Art
In the beginning were all the same
They all began when chattering apes
Began to give things names
I’d like to write a poem about
The history of mankind
An epic piece of massive length
Enough to make you blind
There is love, and death and betrayal
There are battles, very gory
And it covers quite a time span
It’s a truly gripping story
I’d like to write a poem about
Earth and Water and Fire and Air
The earth, of course, where flowers grow
And water that sings to us as it flows
And fire that turns the red meat brown
And the air that’s blowing all around
I’d like to write a poem, and I promise you,
Someday I will
That doesn’t end, but just goes on and on and on until…
