Short Cahn Poems

Longing

Little mermaid on the rock, 
Wishing and wondering, 
What it would be like, 
just to walk?

Little girl in a chair, 
riding around on wheels of air…
Wondering; what it is like… to feel?...

Filial Child 

Halfway to heaven, 
so thrilled to be saved.
My life, 
changed forever.
Filled with your spirit,
wrestles to serve. 

On fire…
in the night,
running through the streets, 
until I fall… before You.

Dancing for My Lord, 
To a music that has always been, 
and will forever be, 
echoed in all men’s souls....

Queen Bee

Buzz, buzz, buzz... 
Great Queen, I hear your song. 
Making honey with your workers... all night long. 
Sweet nectar of the forest, sweet liquid sugar of life, 
teased away from the flowers, one soft petal at a time. 

Ever their grip tight, upon the gift of the maker, 
the honey, the golden reward, of a life well planned, 
and shared... among friends, 
that dare to harvest it....

A Guest

Little tiny mouse, 
why are you in my house? 
Out the back door, 
there are fields aplenty. 
Down by the creek,
there is water, afresh. 
In the corn crib, 
there is more to eat. 
In the barn,
there is more to do. 
Adventures abound... 

Here there is only our home. 
We must protect it from you. 
Small mouse, get out... 
of my house. 
I did not invite you in, 
and you are not allowed to stay. 
No way!...
