Children's Poems IXThe Tapestry of Leaves
Michael R. Burch
Leaves unfold
as life is sold
or bartered, for a moment in the sun.
The interchange
of lives is strange:
what reason—life—when death leaves all undone?
O, earthly son
when rest is won
and wrested from this ground,...

I've paid my dues I've crossed the line,
This moment I thought would never come,
Is in my grasp, the deed now done.

But all that passed would surely stun

Dear FatherWinter solstice is approaching. Night advances as
day retreats, aiding my studies, though December

That one chance encounter to last a lifetime

The ocean waves beckoning us...

TimeWe sit inside a vault prepared to die
Proned to ashes scent fragrance ellusive tide;
Strong impulse as a caged rat hidden in a hole
The path is now broadened to the dire sentiment unseen,
The rocks that caress...

The Month of JulyThe Month of July
Under the shade of willow boughs, dipping low,
Beside the lily pond where lovely larkspur grow.
My love and I recline in the midday of summer,
In the month of July when temperatures swelter.
I ravish...

Until my dreams and goals are won
I will not settle,...

Where Melancholy MinglesI suppose
there’s always good reason
to cry
sadness never has a tough time making friends
ominously,
this dark acquaintance often approaches

to moan
grunting and moaning are long lost...

A Sweet Kiss
Life in the nocturnal glow
The ethereal haze of street light days
Paves the way
For those who cannot sleep
And for those awake before the sun
A sweet kiss
Melting lips like chocolate
Stray not from the path
Illuminated by owl eyes

Learn To LiveWe will not be here forever, no matter how hard we try.
The sun will eventually burn out and this planet will definitely die.
Stop living in fear of the end and start living for today.
