Poems: Starfish Lives & Inner War

by stewart

Starfish Lives

 

A brown hair boy

Searching for starfish by the ocean.

Keeping all he finds

Wanting to possess beauty.

 

Placed in a pail

The starfish lives

Evaporated with the sea water.

 

A grown man remembers

And will not contain

Another living thing.

-SB

 

 

 

Inner War

 

The hardest battles

Are not fought in fields

Or on seas, but within ourselves.

 

We are the enemy

Who ravages

Every defenseless position

-SB
