By Lord R.e. Taylor
Someone somewhere has found meaning
Counting grains of white sand
Covering a beach in a tropical land
It is something that doesn't make sense
A job that could never be completed
But he spends his life doing the same thing
Day after day, year after year
To him it makes perfect sense
He made the impossible his life
And he has a unique pride in his efforts
Something so many others lack
Tough For The Times
By Lord R.e. Taylor
You have to be tough
Show how to be rough
The times are bad now
And they will only get worse
So, stand your ground
Defend yourself and keep safe
But do not punish others
Everything is nobody's fault
Just fight back as hard as you can
Only by doing that to your best
The Human Race can survive
And make it to a better day
Bev’s Treasure
By Lord R.e.
Taylor
Some people
hunt for gold
Others dream of
opals
There are some
who don’t want treasure
At least not
the kind worth millions
They endlessly
search the beaches
Oceans, inland
seas, or massive lakes
Anywhere where
shipping took place
Bottles were
thrown overboard
Smashed on the
water’s rocks below
Beaten by the
actions of nature
Creating a
special kind of gemstone
But to that one
woman everyone knows
Who always hunts
the foot of East Ave.
Every piece of
beach glass she finds
Is the most
valuable treasure in the world
I Will Wait
By Lord R.e. Taylor
I was so happy
You brought me home
Loved me
Made me a part of your family
We would go for walks or rides
So many things I shared with you
But I was just a puppy back then
Over time I grew larger
You stopped loving me
I do not know why
But you took me for a ride
My tail was wagging
I could not sit down
Maybe you loved me again
Now, I cried as you drove away
Tied to a tree, I could not go with you
Just know that I still love you
And I will wait here for you
Because I know that you will come back
After all, I am still your family
By Lord R.e.
Taylor
Poetry is a
solitary endeavor
We always
create alone
Just our
hearts, minds, and souls
Raising each
poem as our child
Waiting for it
to be born and grow
Keeping it safe
until the time finally comes
When we reveal
it to the world
Share it with
an audience of those like us
People who
bleed the same blood we do
Other who shed
the same tears
Only then will
the words we write become poetry
One Step Too Many
By Lord R.e. Taylor
Man can advance so far
Things which could not be predicted
Making the world better
Because he did not take baby steps
He was not careful with every move
The risks increased beyond imagination
All it takes is a single mistake
And the heavens will suffer for it
Moons and planets will be damaged
Some will be destroyed with all their life
Just because man went one step too far
Birth Of A
New Month
By R.e.
Taylor
The sun
sets as a month ends
Not exactly
the best
It brought
us illness and hatred
With lives
lost and livelihoods gone
Complete chaos
never seen before
Hopefully when
the sun rises
A new
month will come with it
The world
will return to normal
Not the “New
Normal” a few want
Just the
normal where people care
It
probably will never happen
But we can
hope can’t we
