Essence of Silence

to see
is to
know

to listen
is to
sence

the essence
of
silence

331.

mark the way well
give no more
than time may tell
of mystery
mired in history
and fortune blessed
with succulence

This Too Is Not Enough

we live
to be
not to
become

yet
this too
is not
enough

Play It Again

play it again 

until the rush 

of fireflies 

punctures the black

satin sheet of night

David Sermersheim

Hotter Than.....

it's
hotter'n
an
out
house
in
July

.....with age.....

with age
comes regret
not for
what one
has done
but for
what one
cannot do
save for
reflection which
is its
own reward

Sedimentarian

I'm a sedimentarian
  -- silt in the
     bed of the
     river of life --

flow low
run slow
roll long
silent and
deep
