My Daily Gestalt

February 26, 2015 by Taylor Gray in Poetry

With white shirt tails, and collars too

A two button suit and some basic black shoes

It's my watch fastened firmly to a band with bolts

And especially my tie that express a daily gestalt

Flashes of color and some texture too

Form a timeless ensemble which will never lose

Centered By You

February 14, 2015 by Taylor Gray in Poetry

Comfortably uncomfortable yet in the zone

Striving for something outside the dome

Intentions are set and thus they guide

The course is clear when fear's set aside

Reaching far yet so centered by you

My mind's wide open and my heart is true

The Expression That Explains

January 25, 2015 by Taylor Gray in Poetry

Traffic is ripping from the left and the right while a man hoofs it to work in the dawn's early light

With not enough money to buy a ride to the job, the man walks the highway, shod in the worn clothes of a slob

He must deftly dodge across double lanes - this causes startled observers to think "Man, that's insane"

Counting his blessings that he's made it safely so far, he shakes loose a smoke for some nicotine laced tar

For a while he's marooned on the thin median strip, so he savors some drags from a butt between his lips

Then ponders what has become the lot of his life - "Have I ever known solace, or just struggle and strife?"

With a smoky euphoria now teasing his brain, he has taken to an expression that might just explain

"Pick your poison," the man, after each ignition, will say, "The end will come - but hopefully not today."

Morning Run

December 31, 2014 by Taylor Gray in Poetry

Shadows sliding side by side

Flying forward via human stride

Beings manifested by a rising sun

Obstructed rays during a morning run

Breaths bring oxygen to human hearts

Shadows summarize their body parts
