A wonderful idea

Posted in Poems by Peter Bilitch

Ideas are like snowflakes
momentary in their beauty,
seemingly endless in variety.

Arriving from nowhere
they can form to create,
a truly terrifying force.

Then like snow on the ground
they vanish from view,
as if they never existed.

Heady days

Posted in Poems by Peter Bilitch

A dull and golden light
high clouds on evening haze.
A heady springtime rite,
evokes a dreamlike daze.

The evening sun lies low
clouds trail across the sky.
The passing time goes slow,
unrushed by passers-by.

…,
the evening closes to.
…,
sitting here beside you.
