Three Poems by R.J. Balcomb

I Am

I am the vastness of the universe
and yet I am the smallest fly
I am ageless
I never began
and I will never end

My existence is one with the darkness

that holds all the colors of light within

I am the beginning of time
and the end of space
I am just a piece of the existence
that we all share.

A Single Candle

A single candle burns in the dark

The fire spreads

There are now two candles alight

The fire continues to spread

Many candles shine in the abyss

The fire grows

And what was once darkness

Now is blinding light

Started by a single candle

The Raven Flies

The raven flies

Flies through the night

His wings beating

Over the rooftop

Over the ally

The raven flies

Storm after storm appear in his way

Yet he still flies

Owls swoop down in the dead of night on his comrades

Yet the raven flies

~ R.J. Balcomb
