Michael Eugene Cantrall Poems

Time is never taken,
Time is only given.
And only given those
Can hear devil’s laughter
...

Sun shines for you, Mom
Happy skies are your blue eyes
Stars twinkle for you
...

Still warm here tonight
Crickets cheer
Indian Summer
...

Shallow pond, beware!
The scorch of summer's sun blast
Poof! Behold! A cloud!
...

To survive this world
You must know only one thing
She whispered to me in a dream
...

The ancient oaks sleep
Shadows make their plans tonight
The great-horned owl winks
...

A million ants march
Up a giant redwood tall
Stellar blue jays snack
...

No sovereign inventor required to awaken
A chosen world's fire bound within
And unleash stowed magical benefit
Stirred by echoes of past life?
...

Mist in this chamber
waiting for release
Truth parked still below
faith reposed in peace
...
