PERSPECTIVE'S MOMENTS
By: Wayne Brown
(Writer’s Note: I was inspired to write this verse as I looked back on the life
of Johnny Cash…what he was, the demons he wrestled, and the love that he
eventually had about him to give him strength. In those moments after the
death of his precious wife, June, I feel some of these thoughts must have
come to mind.)
Faces
Faces in the crowd
Faces in the mirror
Faces in my head
Faces known; unknown
Faces that I dread
Voices
Voices of fame’s past
Voices of my future
Voices so familiar
Voices that I distain
Voices of mid-September
Eyes
Eyes warn of trickery
Eyes of those disguised
Eyes of the drug schemer
Eyes I turn away from
Eyes of the lonely dreamer
Touches
Touch of the stranger
Touch of the fool
Touches that leaves me cold
Touches reaching my heart
Touches upon my soul
Tears
Tears of joyous celebration
Tears of last goodbye
Tears of love lost forever
Tears of broken promises
Tears of life’s losing endeavors
Words
Words that cut so deep
Words that ring in song
Words of love softly spoken
Words that bring bitter tears
Words of promises broken
Music
Music of my soul
Music of my life
Music in my aging veins
Music of my sadness
Music that now sustains
Love
Love left in lone solitude
Love for my Almighty God
Love offered in vain
Love beyond the grave
Love without shame
