Canoeing through the river stream. My soul melding into nature's dream. Lost in the charm of God's creation. Running from countless vexations. As the rapid river flows and bends. Where do I go when this river ends? Into the mouth of an endless sea Or a bordered lake restraining me? © Chad Damitz, 2020.

Poem: Life Is Full Of Emotions
Life is full of emotions--good and bad. Fear, anger, surprise, happiness and sad. Happy ants dance along weeping willows. Joyful birds carol in the gloomy night.

Poem: Which Path Will You Choose?
Do not follow shady and vain humans. Who turn hope into a heap of ruins. They craftily plan to lure their prey. Like a spider web trap on the archway. Their enticing words are sweet to the lips.

Poem: The Weary Wind Finds It’s Home
Whistling wind searching for home. Valleys, Oceans, forests it roams. Dancing alone above the frosty lake. Like a slithering foggy-white snake. The wind carries a melodious tune. Sailing around hot sand dunes. "I need to rest!" says the wind. A house is open around the bend. Sneaking through the cedar door. It rests on the... Continue Reading →
Poem: Who Is Knocking At My Front Door?
Who's that knocking on my front door? So rapid. So hasty. Shaking the floor. I peeked through the window hole. To my surprise, there was no soul. I rubbed my eyes and looked twice. Ah man! Alcoholism--a hideous vice. Illusions. Nightmares. Pain and anxiety. Drinking the bottle doesn't make you free. It enslaves you to... Continue Reading →
Poem: Wondering Under The Crisp Blue Moon
As I gaze upon this crisp blue moon. Under the blanket by the campfire. My soul longs to be much higher. Like a butterfly freed from her cocoon. If I spread my wings and fly away. My soul will journey to endless seas. Opening doors with nature's keys. All will be sunny and no longer... Continue Reading →
Poem: Letter To God In A Dreary Storm
Dreary drips of rain. Thunder in the night. Endless strife and pain. No true comfort in sight. Where is my hope found. If storms surround me? To sorrow I am bound. Who will set me free? If there is a God. My soul cries out now. I am deeply flawed. But please hear this vow.... Continue Reading →
