Here are a few of my published as well as newer poems in the category under “poetry” on this site. I will put more up as I get time.
Here are the poems that made up the play, “The Descent of Inanna”, performed by the Eugene Chamber Theater and written in community with producer Catherine Vandertuin, musician Jeff Defty and all the remarkable actors that helped create these words in their embodiment of this ancient myth.
Here are some links to other poetry here:
Do Not Worry about the Dry Season
Prayer Sticks on Bald Mountain
“I can visualize”
The winter wind blows the snow around,
delighting the kids inside, irritating some others
the snow piles high and freezes overnight
turning into kids sliding hill, yet a burden for others
The snow, the rain, the sun, the wind
each is uniquely wondrous, uniquely guided
the hand that guides them all
is the hand that feeds us all
Lovely words and idea here, Sayed. A wonderful idea of commenting in poetry! Are there not very different ways in which we may see this world– as this poem indicates– as a gift or an inconvenience?
And yet in the end, we are united by the gift of life. It is my sense that if the heart of God is large enough to embrace us all, that is a challenge for us to open our own hearts in a similar way.
Thank you Dr. Holden.
Everyone has a unique perpective that if used in the right way and for the right occasion, will raise our spirits and clear our minds, provided we instill a genuine appreciation for the beauties of nature within us.
