Mary E-A. K. Remaniak Poems

When we decided to protect our country
And end a tyrant's reign.
The people welcomed our fresh troops time and time again.

Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating:  In My Dreams
Quiet and shy, I sit in my corner,
Feeling uncomfortable and always out of place.

Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: The Journey
Falling as a star burns out in the black of night....
Whispering a name familiar yet unplaceable.
How to end the lonesome dark that overtakes

Such sweetness and such delight,
Cares and troubles shared.

A hush falls over the garden.
The inhabitants are far away,
Lost in the pleasurable escape,
Running from the waking hours.

Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Time
Time is not on our side.
Nothing seems to be.
All we know we have
Is the love we share.
We'll make it through tomorrow
And the coming years,
Though at times it seems

Poet: Mary E-A. K. Remaniak rating: Different Clean

Who can see what springs beneath it flow?
