Joyful Noise #Decima #Poem

Posted on by

O music is for everyone!
You need no talent, training, poise
To make your spirit’s joyful noise!
Relax, let go, and have some fun
Each morning, noon, when day is done.
For music is the straightest line
Connecting us to God Divine,
A gift we, one and all, are giv’n,
A way to catch a glimpse of Heav’n!
O give your joyful noise a try!

Break #Poem

Posted on by

Imprisoned in our self-made walls,
We want, yet fear, our breaking free.
And so we mend each spreading crack
To keep known negativity.

When wishing turns to painful pearls,
We make our choice and don’t look back!
The prison crumbles, disappears!
For our own thoughts release the trap!

Beneath the Waves #Decima #Poem

Posted on by

Sometimes I’m trapped beneath the waves,
Drowned out by loud and senseless noise.
Where is my hope? Where are my joys?
Is there a heart, a hand to save?

The brightness breaks in palest shades;
I miss the subtle change it brings.
The waves roll on, but softly sing
That feelings and emotions flow,
None meant to last! I must let go
And ride each wave to set me free!

Revolving Spiral #Poem

Posted on by

One
Nature
Evolving
Invisible
Indivisible
Becoming visible
Showing more than we can see
Except through eyes open and free
Sum of parts that aren’t afraid to be
As One revolving Mind of clarity
