Studio is a state of being,

in mind as if in a dream

where shadows take form

and ideas and images gleam

or seem to………

but doubts perform their brilliant best

to be or not to be……pests

Like a laboratory grand

knowledge and history are at hand

but little use in expressing one’s emotions

for they are ephemeral, mysterious and respond only to inner truth

Lay bare one’s soul without excuse

and be ready for praise or abuse

For in the end

thee has told the truth

and is therefore free.

The Way Is Clear

I wrote the following poem as a direct response to seeing how young people are behaving badly after much drinking late at night.

Blue skies delight but not at night

For they take flight

before midnight

The way is clear

except with much beer

for then the fog descends

Obscuring reason and lighting up stupidity

But like all things

the day begins

anew.

Feelings are clear

without much beer

and light the day and night

for all is good

without

the…. could

the… should, the ….would,

and fogs appear only at our choosing.

Making The Most Of Every Moment

Irresistible combustions explode my spirit

walking a path of borrowed time

not knowing

but sowing

the fruits of my hearts desire.

To share such perfection without detection

seems so imperfect.

The shadows seem longer

and darker

now.

Yet the light of spirit

burns stronger than ever

now.

Each day I share other’s

sorrows and joys.

For they are mine too.

But in the end

we must reach the bend

where the river flows into the sea

and the shadows disappear forever.

Caterpillar……While I was Looking for a Poem

Caterpillar

 

Caterpillar by R J Burgess

I looked hard

to find a poem

about a caterpillar.

And in the end decided…..

to write my own poem

and pretend…….

that this

mighty

little

fellow

is

simply…..

just my friend.

“The Window That Never Closes”

The Window That Never Closes

Today I have posted a new poem of mine.

A New Day Begins

A New Day Begins

 

I walk…I talk

of untold dreams

that seem to be real

Each day begins

with unclassified things

that absorb my imagination

No university has such knowledge

At least here… on earth

But walk a little

talk a little

and the gates to the kingdom

are revealed……….not concealed

A place where knowledge is superfluous

and feelings know the truth

Your  journey has just begun.

A New Day Begins
