Early Stuff-II

This is a poem I also found on aforementioned Floppy. I wrote this in 2002 for a german LDS Friend that decided to serve a mission. She was sent to Salt Lake City, to serve on Temple Square. I was asked to write a poem for her going-away-party and so this was my present for her.

SALT LAKE CITY, TEMPLE SQUARE

SALT LAKE CITY, TEMPLE SQUARE
A FEW MORE WEEKS AND I’LL BE THERE.
THE PLANE TOUCHES DOWN,
MY HEART BEATING SO FAST.
TABERNACLE SPARKLING IN THE SUN.


SALT LAKE CITY, TEMPLE SQUARE
A FEW MORE DAYS AND I’LL BE THERE.
HEAD HELD HIGH, BADGE PINNED ON MY CHEST,
IN GOD’S ARMY WE ARE THE BEST.


SALT LAKE CITY, TEMPLE SQUARE
A FEW MORE HOURS AND I’LL BE THERE.
GRAY GRANITE RISING MAJESTIACLLY;
CHRIST WAITING WITH ARMS OPEN WIDE.


SALT LAKE CITY, TEMPLE SQUARE
A FEW MORE STEPS
AND I’LL BE THERE.

Early Stuff-I

Found this on an old Floppy-disk that gathered dust somewhere in my desk. Wrote this back in 2002 or so and it was one of the few that survived on that thing, the others were gnawed off by time's sharp teeth....
Tripping down my poetical Memory-Lane, if you will.... ;)


Wondering

Here I am,
Wondering,
Why the last of the Elysian’s have fled
And I don’t even know what they are

Here I am,
Wondering,
Why writing poems seems so easy
When others do it.

Here I am,
Wondering
What I am doing
With a pen in my hand
Writing a poem.....
