Short Passageways Poems

Each day, through meditation,
I thoroughly frisk my mind's un-swept passageways,
Gleaning for that one beneficial thought
That God has placed there....

I’m with family;
we’re younger, vibrant, laughing; 
through another door,
I run to a lover’s arms. . . 
free reign in Time’s passageways...

Weary travelers weave through silent
Passageways like cattle herded to market
Masked faces, eyes shifting anxiously,
Everyone wanting to be somewhere else.

Temptation begins,
In un-swept passageways of our minds;

Satan's evil charm,
That oft reduces men to mice.

Yielded to,
It becomes sin and spiritually blinds.

Sin, rarely needs a coat of paint,
To keep it looking nice;

That cheese and apple affect,
chaotic yells for morning
revolutionised
by the simple cup of tea.

With smiling echo's in grim passageways
of graffiti laughs,
concrete surfs
and chewing gums dalmatian.

Rackets of rain
like falling rivers
are the singing shouts of
ambient joy....

"We are tubes." She says.

I think of fish
who are a basic model
for our tubular forms,
how they swim
gulping themselves up
as they move forward.

Most don't talk of their bodies
as cylindrical,
as passageways.
I look at her
sucking a milkshake
up through a straw.

I love her tubes....

In the forest
Grows a tree
And underneath
Their secrets be
Deep below its
Roots extend
Down passageways
That curl and bend
Secrets told to 
Branch above
Nestle down there
Like a glove
They wait there
Patient for the
Day they can
Emerge and
Have their say
Tell your troubles
To that tree
So you can set
Your warm heart
Free....

Snowflakes blanketed the world in winter white

Tenderly, they touched my impeded ears

Unlocked were the passageways to discern voices

Virtuously,  they repeated in soft whispers,

"Wisdom is to be absorbed like flakes of snow on skin."

Dark Woods

In the dark woods is where you will find me tied to a tree. But how did I become here and why am I not free?

In my mind I stir... Through the labyrinth of passageways I am lost.  Surrounded by my own nightmares I scream.  

Haunted by my past mistakes, I ponder...Torn between the guilt and confession, but of the two what will I choose?

Fallen and never the same sadness takes hold......

        Hope / Faith
	Or
	Light at the End of the Tunnel
	Written: by Tom Wright

	During trying times,
	We often search our dark lonely passageways.
	Finding scant light
	To help us through our days;
	As faith's novices,
	We often consider that sight
	With anguish, fear, and utter disdain;
	Faith, prompts us to believe the glow at subway's end,
	Is our ray of hope, not the last train?

During trying times,
We often search our dark lonely passageways.
Finding scant light
To help us through our days;
As faith's novices,
We often consider that sight
With anguish, fear, and utter disdain;
Faith, prompts us to believe the glow at tunnel's end,
Is our ray of hope, not the last train?

And he who has hope has everything”
