 Poems by T.J. Swisher

Subtle Moments


subtle moments filter between runs,
  assist the elderly with
       no strength left in age,
  transport the youth endowed woman
doubled over from spoiled leftovers,
    disentangle the middle aged man
from a mistaken split second
   touch of right pedal at the yellow,
teach the innocent still in awe of bright red
  importance of stop, drop, cover, and roll,

manage the required daily living task
   of two loads of laundry,
one sink of dishes,
  juggling bill payments,
and an occasional brush
     of the broom on a tracked floor,

subtle moments of an entire movie viewed
  without unannounced disruption,
filled instead with waltzing
      on rain covered tin
illuminated by crimson and indigo flashes,

   an understanding held only
by those who share the same,
  giving a reality that it isn't
for recognition or reward
     but to give for the purpose
of unattached giving.
