First light of Adirondack day,
Silvery blue behind ominous grey.
Would but I could only stay
beside clear streams that ever say,
in voices hushed of crystal spray,
"silent thy thoughts and seize thy day."
These are the poems, writings and musings of Michael R. Martin.
Here you will find recent writings, and poems dragged up from many years ago.
Cedar Eden refers to the name of my Adirondack Homestead.

First light

Slow life
Life moves to fast beyond these mountains, our chosen home.
(and sometimes too damn fast here)
Gray Mountains
Scuttled clouds top thr green-grey horizon,
pale grey shielding
slivers of paler blue.
Thus returneth I to my beloved, my life, Adirondack,
streaming water like tears,
as she prepares to settle into winter's long night,
snow, beautiful white, on her placid brow.

That Look: Waiting at the Airport Gate Lounge
Who teaches attractive young ladies that look, where they instantly size you up & determine you are insignificant at best, repulsive at worst? It shows in their eyes, their faces - a "don't EVEN think of looking at me again" look.
To be honest, I don't really think you are pretty - not in that way. Just another something to look at.

Some People
Some people have a knack for bringing out the best in others, leaving others the better for having known them.
I,
I am not one of those people.
In my wake, I fear,
are those who I have burned,
those who's potential I have quashed.
Hard on myself, I know, but - I am not that person
