Wanting, Not Wanting – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff without knowing where you will land.” Zainab Salbi
Wanting, Not Wanting
The icy blast catches my breath
shivering my flesh,
my body tensed on this precipice
looking into an unknown,
unfathomable something
of uncertainty,
I desire, strongly, to move,
to dive in,
but a shadow in my recess
portents a wait and hold,
a what if, and
so here I wait,
wanting,
not wanting.

Lived – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” Douglas Adams
Lived
I have a memory
of something of a start
collected in the eras
of my many beginnings,
of a long gestated spark
that torched a path,
and, as I look back
I see the embers glowing,
though time is
now extinguishing
my lived meaning.

Through Your Love
I drifted for a time
as wind drifts sand across desert
where nothing seems to change
the sandness of drifting as
amongst dry bones and ash,
but in the flurry
you captured my seed
and, in the womb of your fissure
you birthed in me a courage
founded in your acceptance,
and though the winds returned
