A tunnel gives no lost path

by Michael Cannon on November 9, 2009 in Poetry

A tunnel gives no lost path.
Only an opportunity
to proceed
without distraction
of many choices.
Only forward or back.
Into light or dark.
No left or right.
Find your way
through the bottleneck
to chance upon more
by embracing
the unknown.
Or tremble in fear,
never to give
another question
to what could
become you.

Waiting for the bus

by Michael Cannon on October 21, 2009 in Poetry

Waiting for the bus
brings question of,
what’s next?
On the way
you go
to where
you think
you should be,
the question to ask,
is it really time
to be there?

If I didn’t write so long

by Michael Cannon on August 14, 2009 in Poetry

If I didn’t write so long,
my journal might last for another 20.
I’m not really sure what to call these things.
Songs,
psalms,
stories,
shorts,
poems,
verses,
words,
thoughts,
answers,
moments.
I don’t think it’s really all that good to label each as a whole.
Each has a place and a need to be told.
Maybe understood now,
maybe for beyond when this notebook is filled with naught but dust.
