Karen Bolton Poem
Storm
Summer sky boils
Mother natures way
Fierce ozone and loam
Sway and thrash
Relentless rain falls
Sun bright flashes
Hypnotic cadence this sky
Towers of air
Gravity brings to earth

Karen Bolton Poem
Beginnings
Wish I had a switch that lets it go quiet
Instead we hide in boxes and behind stone walls
Leave wishes unattended were they float in the breeze
Until it’s too late and the sun has set
Pluck hope from new beginnings
And walk paths bare of your foot prints
Trace touch across new faces
And listen to a night you do not know
Post memories in feather and wing
And wait with breath that hopes they remember
Let it be one moment to the next
For it all shines brand new

Karen Bolton Poem
Rapture
I stood on the edge of a moment afraid
Then I stepped in to live it
It has no past, no future, no questions, and no answers
Yet it holds a lifetime of emotion
Like an exquisite snowflake on a silent night
It will fall to earth never loosing it magnificent rapture
It’s ecstasy remembered only by you and me

Karen Bolton Poem
A Soldiers Way
I have hope in my eyes
That the ground will not tremble
I have faith in my heart
That the man on my right, will always be the man on my right
I have love in my soul
That the brothers we fight will remember what peace is
I have trust in those around me
That their skills will protect us all
I have strength in my hands
That the work we do will be true and right
I have justice in the footsteps I take
That every footfall will take me one step closer to home...

Karen Bolton Poem
A Moment
The strangest things fill your head
Of stars and moonbeams that drive the soul
The way the sun shines upon the water
I know of these things, through you
Because of you, in your eyes
A world hidden, yet shared
Future and past drift by as clouds
A beginning is formed in a moment shared

Karen Bolton Poem
Room In My Head
Drive it all away, when it’s just confusion
Up in my head, like a screaming illusion
Time after time, the memory drives
Until I can’t breathe, and still it strives
On it goes, like a pulsing beat
So far, no will, to collapse in defeat
The moment is here, make your choice
Scream if you can, but you have no voice
When it’s all said and done, you swallowed the pill
I’m up in your head and I won’t stand still
