Of Passages on Pages of Time

Used books were sold each semester.
Los Angeles City College bookstore, and
California State University, Long Beach ...
They, too, sold used books.
I've been in possession of some -
Students felt fortunate stumbling on the right one,
For some classes commenced without certain books -
"Liberation Theology" was one such book-
I'd already own a copy signed by Dr. Cornell West
He spoke

Passages In Time

Sometimes we look for simpler days
and those are times that go astray
when we've aged they'll be a pastime
an account of days we passed in time.

Passages and plays

Gone now is all reason, 
as if she needed any more 
A princess awakens lonely, 
just like in days of yore
Her prince left much earlier,
through a gargoyled secret door,
Its passage led to lower levels,
walls curved round toward

Gone now is all reason, 
as if she needed any more 
The stable lad followed him, 
and came back

Passages

Some were songbirds silenced
in the morning of their youth.
Frightened by night shadows  
heavy droning drawing nigh,
filling eyes with longing tears
and hours of sleepless cry.

Some lived in a daydream
graced with symphonies of sound,
technicolor images, voices did 
surround a head in fascination
with all the world it saw.
Call it mental streaming 
without a single flaw.

Passages

Youngsters flit from thing to thing
  Older now, they rest their wings

Grief Passages Rewritten

Grief Passages Rewritten

Shards of shame lay splintered in unresolved pieces ~
 Bits of crystal if only intentions not repairable

Minutes of I wish regret unreachable, not revived ~
 Lifeless echoes sighing with no resuscitation

In a whirlwind tornados uproot shallow graves ~
 Screams at the unknowable why unanswered

Yeah but excuses expletives and bargains with denial ~
 Blank

Passages ---- and -- Pauses

there are passages in life
  gaps between jobs
  between marriages
  even between... deaths
    hear the stillness

there are pauses in life
  spaces between words
  some spoken
  others mute
  a few...written...
    feel the emotions

Passages From Eternal Death

OH! I have really under taken my journey from eternal death,
Into everlasting life. And I owe it all to my beloved Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. Just exactly like all the rest of humanity,
Who have gone on centuries before me. I was born under
A death sentence and it's all because of Adam and Eve!

OH! The very

Endings

green to yellow 
gold to red 
to brown
leaves 
or fairest hair 
worn 
as silken crown
Thick 
with luxury proud 
honey 
poured aloud
endless spigots 
with 
memories to attend.
Now lost to brush 
or hand 
or wind
all leaves, 
all hair,
and all souls 
in the 
end.

Passages

stillness of a September breeze
a heartfelt morning chill
one highway out of town
another back
a hidden waterfall
five miles off either road
green neon lights in darkness
a beacon on the highway
coincidental talk with the cashier
an ounce of chocolate ice cream bought
falling pines call
for another to sprout
years measured
by rings of a trunk
falling leaves and sprouts
and other incarnations
new friends on the

Passages

17 passages of cars for the day
8:37 PM the farm fades
dusk a quiet verse a poem
song without words
12, 1, 20, 12 pick the numbers
a game of fortunes
clouds to the west
chance of rain
family living off the land
a farmer’s pride
a wary look to the sky
after the spring planting
a toss of the dice

The Toast

The Toast
by Michael R. Burch

For longings warmed by tepid suns
(brief lusts that animated clay),
for passions wilted at the bud
and skies grown desolate and grey,
for stars that fell from tinseled heights
and mountains bleak and scarred and lone,
for seas reflecting distant suns
and weeds that thrive where seeds were sown,
for waltzes ending in a hush,
for rhymes that fade

PASSAGES

               Sometimes through life
               we must "walk through glass"
               It is very important

Passages

Often in life we have to let everything go.
All attachments will dissipate one day,
only the heart and soul survive the blow
of other fingers, other eyes
making judgments that are hard to realise
as they toss away tid bits we held dear
sentimentality... tokens of emotions
we carried safely inside through the years.
The token is just the physical reminder
