Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

If You Imagine

behind me the door slams shut
i’ve entered into a time warp
my world suddenly imploding
a silence the size of a cosmic boom
enshrouding all of colorless morose 
liquified into blobs amorphic  
of hours converging into days

there was before
then there was after
who could imagine
from a thundercloud born of tears
would come a strength beyond fears
