In the universe of love
The Lady lying here was the intersection set...

the word crux
derived from cross
the point of intersection

in today's world
that venerable crux
defies all detection...

temporary blindness
view obstructed
fog

ice patch
loss of control
accident

snow bank
at the intersection
brakes fail...

{humor}

Eat more beans for my complexion,
with cornbread a good selection,
Always look in every direction,
Crossing the intersection....

Today

               point 

               intersection

               ideas

               yesterday

               tomorrow.......

the sign itself doesn’t 
stop
like my heart,
red and cornered.

a flashing soul faces you
eager to make the turn
onto a one-way street, 
called time....

He did not see her there
She had no time to stop
Fate at the intersection
Two paths forever cross
The ending dealt to each
Gone without last words
Living forever in memory
Now as spirit preserved...

Do great things and they'll name a street after you
Like the intersection of Ellison Ave and Winnie The Poo
Or your name in lights
On Broadway each night
Must decide, what other great thing you can do...

Do great things and they'll name a street after you
Like the intersection of Ellison Ave and Winnie The Poo
Or your name in lights
On Broadway each night
Must decide, besides poetry, what other great thing you can do...

Lines on a neighborhood road,
are quiet thoughts,
on a deep dark January night.
Pulsing, streaming,
only knowing a course
a driver sets for them.
But it is when the lines stop
at an intersection,
where reason ceases
and life begins....

I see morning
as he holds onto his daily prayers.
I idle away the time at the first intersection...
Cape Town N1
I pray too
that I will make it through
early
with a smile and a plan.
Pause. Stop.
When the light turns 
we check ourselves 
put foot 
go...

Not every bird a singer
the crow more like a
frog

not every bird a sweet
melody
the parrot fondest of parody

the goose more like
an intersection horn

when I vocalize in the shower
dutiful drops seem hurried to be
gone

down the drain
with this poem...

Intersection at 
Center of the Great Circle
No breaking through the black line

Are they circles though?
Or people in the center
Fleeing or huddling or still

Motion can't be seen 
Motivation can't be known 
Not circles. Not people. Eyes.

Life is like a

River of Love

Flowing with Experiences,

A Cosmos full of Possibilities

And an Intersection of

Imagination and Illumination.

Life is like a Caterpillar

Until its Metamorphosis

Reaching Adulthood and Beyond.

The Childhood Race has Ended.

Adulthood is Now Here....

Yello Hello complements Purple Polymaths

Grey brain matter bursting to tell
Small hands collect seas washed up shells 
Focus fixated fascination
One on one intersection
A childlike search to discover
Treasures rolled out, with wonder

As the clouds move across the evening sky
Taking a trip before my watching eye,
I wish the brisk air would lift me along
Meander in a dance of a night loving song
Where you wait at the intersection of my choice
And of course I will choose to lift my arms and rejoice!

Dark and mysterious
-- You are my greatest fear
Rapt and enshrouded
-- There's nothing I can hear

Penetrating intersection exuding me dry
Excruciating pain.. Oh! How I beg for peace..
Can you see my tears? They dried as I cry
My clock is fading so, can I at last be at ease?

There was a time
Before I was born
That my great-grandfather
Could count thirteen forks
At the end of a particular road.
But now it's just a four-way,
A mere intersection
Landmarked by an abandoned building 
and carved granite slab-
Reminders that the way things were
Has changed forever....

Intersection of
  Overwhelmed & Exhausted
    A decision to make 

  Venture out onto that
  Autobahn of Freeways
    Shake & Bake 
    Wide Awake & Overtake... 

  Turn the other way
  Crash & Burn
    Maddening price to pay  

  Yet ~
  Overwhelmed & Exhausted
    A DECISION to make...

Crow on cold stones

This black being making
A gas station appearance
Intersection traffic
Horns and lights
Sunset shortly
Walking stone to stone..
Ignoring noisy polluted
Starts and stops..
A stoic warrior
In our time of
Heedless searching..

Then he flew and I
Transcended his moment......

A square in a square

Four lines equal length

Then repeated

People pass through

And over and around

Tires squeal

Lights change colour

Dogs on leashes

Rain soaked pavement

The foundation for this

Fifteen stories up

It all becomes clear

Life carries on

Under an umbrella...

Upon the shade stone spider sits.
Hungry as cool morning wind.
Mr. cricket will come along
violin legs painting songs upon petal street.
Their eyes will roughly meet at the intersection of life-v-death...

Bent violins beneath the feet
sated as the evening wind...
Upon the shade stone spider sits....

When you swell
your tender balloon
with the tense air
holding dense questions
Shall I be able to?
Think about the railway tracks
Parallel when near
Converging when distant
But eventually going closer
vanishes the intersection.
Be on the right track
Don't let the balloon burst
And say
I shall be able to....

Listen to poem:

In the Gray Light of Day
David J Walker

Draw my world in the
Various shades of charcoal 
The numerous grades of Gray 
Express the night
Confounded by exposure in 
the light of day

and anyway
the light changes and the
traffic is on its way to another 
intersection of life before
anyone notices that
I was here
	Or there...
