Randy McClave Poems

Have you ever heard the House Wren sing
To its mate just to satisfy,
You might say no, but you've seen them take wing
And to hear it? Well, neither have I.
...

Footprints in the sand
As deep as they might be,
Will someday be washed away
By the wind, or by the sea.
...

From every grain of sand
That falls from my hand
Through my fingers to the ground
To utter but not a sound,
...

One thing that I have heard
As I have often been told
Was the grass is always greener
On the other side of the road,
...

It will slowly creep upon your face
When you are sitting or thinking for a while
Frowns and smirks it will quickly replace
After a topic, or a moment, is not causing any bile,
...

As I rub my hands together
Trying to stay warm in this cold weather
Shivering and shaking I am so very cold
This is the winter of the youth, and not the old.
...

Of the GODs we all believe
And of men we all know
They rule us when they can’t deceive
With prayers or guns or a bow,
...

GOD created the world from inspiration
All came forth from his thoughts and imagination
Through tedious work it became his creation
His thoughts and labor became his obligation,
...

They say that she is a gem
A diamond in the rough,
While lacking all the social graces
Which some of us embraces;
...

If you will bring me a glass of water
Just to quench my thirst
I promise you I will be forever grateful
And of your kindness, I will always think of first,
...
