Poems by Brent M. Jones

Help me Lord

Memory fill the night. Please help make my pain and memories light. In your arms I find comfort. Guide me in my days. Help me Lord, this night

 

The Trip

Challenge and wonder are along your path. Each day a new turn will attract what you ask. Others may seek the beauty of your trail. Focus on your journey and leave the destination for last.

Hearts are Feeling


 Hearts are feeling                                                       Baez and Dylan Singing
 Voices pulsating
 Messages Ringing
 Thoughts of Resistance
 Sounds of being

Who, only More

Good Men stand against corruption and War.
Government promises, nothing changes, only more.
Who will stop it. Who, is it only more?

Poems by Brent M. Jones

Words Are Wind

Words are wind. They blow away your Footprints. Make sure your words. Respect others footprints. So others will respect Yours.
 

Butterflies are Light

A butterfly chooses where to land
Bringing light and beauty on its wings
Light sitting like a sunbeam
Choosing when to leave

Till We Meet Again & Poetry Feelings

Poems by Brent M. Jones

Till We Meet Again

Will we meet again
Have we met before
If not then, is it only now

Is now all we have                                                             If we met before,
Could that be why                                                           We have met again

Did we exist before
Will we live again

What is the purpose of knowing you                               Now if not then

Why did you hurt me
Why did I hurt you
Did we care then

When I see you, if we meet again, 
I will care then
I will be sorry if I hurt you

Poetry Is About Feelings

Poetry is about feelings. The poet takes feelings and uses words to express them. The artist takes feelings and uses paint or clay to express them.  Art informs and people see what art wants them to see. Poetry informs of feelings. A picture is like a poem and it takes memories and captures them. Memories may be a form of poetry.

Thank You for Coming

By Brent Jones

“I asked for direction
You came into my life
I hurt you, you hurt me.
I learned I was wrong

I said I was sorry
Sorry I caused harm

You listened and helped me
Our lives seem improved
Thank you for coming

 

Kindness

by Brent Jones

Love Pure                                                                 Kindness Reflected,                                                     Virtue Defined

Not Alone

By Brent Jones

“I felt alone
I had no answers
A person came and filled the need.

I felt concerned with my progress
A person came and had a need.

Why did they come
How did the know

Are we all connected
Help me to know

Life Story

By Brent Jones

  • Goodness of People

  • Often blurred each day

  • A life story reveals

  • What's in the way

Day Breaks

Day breaks, leaving night behind
The light comes softly, a little at a time
Colors step from the darkness
A new day, with more time
-Brent Jones

Aging Couple

Aging Couple

I see you now, different than before

Years and years gone by

Differences treasured, more and more

Time brings oneness, in who we are

Let my hands touch your face

Just once more, embrace

Song of Tonight

 

Song of Tonight

By Brent Jones

 

Land and sky, reach out

Embraced by the old

Touched with light

Our new world, like the old

Gone from sight

Memories sometimes fade

Friends eternal companions

Life short, families bright

Truth eternal, desire to do right

Till We Meet When

By Brent M. Jones

Will we meet again / Have we met before

Is it only now / If we met before

Is that why/ We have met again

Did we care before/ Will we meet again

Is it only now/ Will we care then
