Poetry – Page 21 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

A silent evening

In silence I sit
With the stillest air I’ve known
Echoes of nightfall

Remember dear friends
Seek out love and compassion
Flow through you and out

Rebooting myself
Discipline; thus a refresh
No fresh start promised

Evening wanderings
Dusk settling upon me
Springtime’s blossoms call

A challenging today
Turning off the modern mind
Breathing in fresh air

The briefness of life
Should give us pause about time
As it fades away

Another day now
Laden with expectations
Misty rains linger

Knowledge’s power
Dimensional awareness
Mathematical dreams

Walking through sunlight
Warmth flowing across my skin
Happy spring is here

One must face fevers
Upon which success depends
It needs more cowbell
