Laurence Overmire Poems

i look into your eyes
and see the stars
burning quietly
in a midnight sky
...

Sleep.
Eat.
Sleep.
...

There need to be people
toiling on this Earth
for whom money
is not the Bottom Line
...

Have you ever flown
in a plane
and climbed above
the clouds?
...

Every day admit me
Please
Into the portal of the
Divine
...

Oh Father Boy, Oh Father Boy
You didn’t see the signs
You didn’t hear a thing did you
Oh Father Boy, my dear
...

a tear trickles down the side of a face
haphazardly
not knowing why it was shed
...

Every stone I cast
on water ripples

to the edge of an unknown
...

is like a bullet that goes
straight to the heart

life and death on the line
...

So few people understand
Or even care
The connection that holds us
Together
...
