Heart

Posted on by

I have a heart
Somewhere in there,
My guarded part
That shares and cares.
Or so it would
If I let it go,
But I keep on telling
My poor heart no!

I have the passion
Of fire inside.
And I keep it rationed,
Denied desire.
O how it would blaze
If I let it go,
But I keep on telling
My poor heart no!

I have a love
That grows and flows,
Beyond and above,
Around and below.
Love is the Power
To let it all go
So I can stop telling
My poor heart no!

And I proclaim yes
To my heart and soul!

Day 7 of 30!
Check out the rest of my NaPoWriMo offerings!

Treatment for Love

Six Days

Posted on by

And on the 7th day God rested?
Really?
Does the Universe need a rest?
If I dared to have an opinion,
It is doubt.

I highly doubt
God needs a rest.
If God rests,
If the Universe rests,
Then vibration, creation, movement, evolution
Stop!
On the dime so to speak.

And knock on wood –
The Universe is still going!

So, in my very humble opinion,
God did not rest after 6 days.

He looked at all the creations,
Contemplated them,
Truly saw them, every one!
And He said:
I am there
And there
And in that thing
And over there
And here too
And everywhere!
And it is good!

Contemplation –
Knowing something,
Knowing yourself in something,
And knowing you know,
Deep and gentle,
Still and quiet,
Just knowing…

And so God knew Himself
To be in each creation
And knew one creation
To be His own likeness,
So it could contemplate itself
And God within itself.

That last creation,
That contemplative, creative creation
Is His Child of Light –
YOU!

Now,
Contemplate that!

The Sound of Creation

He Created Them

You Were not Built in a Day

Posted on by

You were not built in a day!
It’s taken your lifetime to get you this way!
You were not built in a day!

You can’t improve over night!
Sure, you get better, but still see a plight!
You can’t improve overnight!

Perfect in every way!
God knows the truth in the world he creates!
Perfect in every way!

You are a vessel of light!
Through moments and lifetimes, a Spirit so bright!
You are a vessel of light!

You were not built in a day!
But God is the potter, and you are the clay!
You were not built in a day!

Day 5 of
NaPoWriMo.

Adopted (Villanelle)

Posted on by

Adopted to a kind of outer space,
We soon forget the land that is our home
To be a member of the human race.

We wear a mask and cover up the face
That God creates for each one of his own –
Adopted to a kind of outer space.

How quickly we take on the pressing pace
And work to please the world of flesh and bone
To be a member of the human race.

We push away the gifts and gentle grace
For what is seen and heard and touched and known
Adopted to a kind of outer space.

We try to carve ourselves a special place,
And build a life more solid than a stone
To be a member of the human race.

Yet even though we miss the warm embrace,
The God-within proclaims we’re not alone.
Adopted to a kind of outer space,
To be a member of the human race.

A villanelle
for NaPoWriMo day 4.

“Those People!”

In every challenge…

Posted on by

This post from Purplerays inspired today’s
NaPoWriMo entry.
Thank you!

Challenge

Something to give
And good to receive.
Things to let go
And blessings to keep.
Challenge is change
But not what it seems.
Draw from the Spirit within.

Something to pick
And new life to grow.
Things to transform
And colors to show.
Challenge is work
Much more than we know.
Draw from the Spirit within.

Something to drop
And good to take up.
Things to pour out
To refill this cup.
Challenge is flowing
So don’t hold it up!
Draw from the Spirit within.

Web of Disconnect

Posted on by

The worldwide web is wonderful!
It reaches round the earth
And disconnects the families
We’re given to at birth.

The worldwide web is precious!
It’s full of love and peace
‘Cause the grass is always greener
Where we don’t live and breathe.

The worldwide web is warming!
It comforts and it heals
Through blessed commiseration
For all of life’s ordeals.

The worldwide web is real!
The people say it’s so.
We plant the seeds together
So our agenda grows.

The worldwide web is wonderful!
A tool we can direct,
So may we cut the threads that bind
The web of disconnect!

Somewhat like
Haiku,
a “lune” is a poetic form with 3 lines. This variant is 3-5-3 words, rather than syllables.

Unless you’re writing one, these are best read and used in meditation or contemplation, and not analyzed! 😮

Poetic Peace

Posted on by

Today ends National Poetry Month. Clearly, I haven’t written a poem every day as many have. But I’ve really enjoyed my favorite poets’ contributions throughout the month! Here and the following are why I use poetry as a spiritual tool.

Poetic Peace

We can say things in poetry
that we can’t say in “normal” speech.

Things we can’t say in prose,
we can say in poetry.

The image of the poet
being a little unhinged, eccentric, strange,
crazy, weird,
out there, warped,
jaded, off your rocker, a few fries short,
mystical,
transcendental,
beyond the rest of us,
out of touch with “reality,”
better than,
and yet dysfunctional…

I see this image as a blessing!

I’ve said things in speaking
I later regretted-
not because of what I said,
I make no apologies for speaking the Truth-
But for how people chose to feel about them
and how they chose to respond.

I’ve written things in articles
I didn’t feel were complete.
Yet the more I wrote,
the bigger the gap,
the deeper the chasm,
the greater the confusion,
and this, too, I regretted.

And so I return to poetry
to say what needs saying,
to pray what needs praying.

Because I know that somehow
it’s okay,
even welcomed with open arms!

And no matter the reason,
for this
I am truly grateful
to the essence of poetry
that is the essence of God!

Master

Posted on by

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.
–Matthew 6:24 World English Bible (WEB)

A reminder to seek God’s Kingdom (Heaven within) first, and everything we need will be added (Matt. 6:33). And while we’re thankful for degrees, jobs, projects, our families, friends, and accomplishments in the world, we cannot serve the world and gain lasting security.

He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
–Luke 9″23-25 (WEB)

With this knowing in my heart, I gratefully acknowledge my Master of Metaphysical Science degree (4/4/14). But the credit is not mine; without God working through me, I would not have this and indeed would not have Life at all.

Master

Not master of others
Or master of things,
I’m master of nothing,
For God is my King.

So deep in my Heart,
My Soul and my Mind,
I turn to the Master
Beyond space and time.

Not tied to a program
Conferring degrees,
The Lord of Creation
Is Master of me.

And all that “I do”
Is done by The One.
For Love is a river,
And through me it runs.

And when I can’t see Him,
I reach for the Truth,
For to master myself
He carries me through.

Not master of others
Or master of things,
I’m master of nothing,
For God is my King.

Breath

Posted on by

In the silence
I feel my Breath.

In a crowd
I’m aware of my Life.

Breath,
So much more than in and out,
A reminder of the power
To expand and contract;
To flow and to ebb.

Unseen,
Often unnoticed,
Breath is Source, Energy, Life:
Bringing Spirit into us, releasing It to others.

Inhale, exhale;
Accept, give;
Energize, relax;
Renew, release.

In the night
Breath remains wakeful.
In daytime
Breath supports.

Past,
Present,
Future–

All that was,
Is,
And is to come
Breathes with Life!
