Inauguration By myself with the television on I dove and swam in the sea of human hope Displayed in waves of elation and tears Stretching across monuments and centuries. No longer alone I bore witness to change. Immersed in possibility, I swirled among Multi-hued faces filled with the promise of A new day. All is not forgotten of this nation's sins. Yet a current, swift and unforeseen In this moment of thrashing tumult Lifts up its people beyond perpetual divide And steers them to the sunlit harbor. I ride the ferry boat with the rest To the wild, undulating ocean Where the swells before us loom large, Leaving our rage and shame at the shore With gashes and wounds on the mend.

Garage Look what your mighty, deft hands have made. This wood is alive with what lies within you. Listen closely; you'll hear what I hear. Look around and see what I see, feel what I feel. Its virile force breathes and intoxicates. I wander its walls and touch its newly placed boards. This space pulses with the power of creation, And strangely I am home, though it is not my place to claim. One evening I sat upon its barren foundation and cried. Perhaps it was the sunset's fault, brewing on the horizon. Now I hear echoes of hammers and music when I stand here alone. I see its splendid strength, and feel how friendship binds it. Is this how it always is, when what stirs in your heart and mind Takes shape and forms itself upon the landscape? I gaze as dawns and twilights pass upon its frame And imagine you know what it is to be satisfied. Jean Pinson |
