A two-fer today. #1 - just there, flowing ... Poem #277 - Answered Prayers My heart overflows. Such a gift … An answered prayer. Is such a thing so rare That I cry? Yet I cannot deny The changes inside Since I began this awesome ride. “Transform me!” I prayed. [...]
Death. It comes to all. We understand the fear To think the end is near. The images you hold Are of one who grows old Then takes his last breath. To you, this is death. Yes, it’s true. It will happen to you. But the finality you imagine Is not [...]

As the turtle walks, So do you advance. Slowly, step by step Your life you do enhance. The journey of your life Is like a winding path, Progressing ever onwards On your spiritual behalf. At times you may lose patience Desiring great advances. But that’s not how growth happens As [...]
Trust. An ever-present issue… What is that voice I hear? As if not from outside my ear? Could it be the voice of spirit? So soft I barely hear it? The words I hear cannot be mine. Their message is so fine. Yet who am I to think That from [...]
Light in the sky. Squint your eye. Who can sleep? So much excitement. A new day! But first … to pray. Oh God, Great Spirit, Oh Holy One, What have I done? Gone and forgotten myself again. I wonder when … When … When will I learn to trust? For [...]
Hear the muse But its voice don’t confuse… All words that we send you Come from your own heart. For there’s naught we can say Which from you is apart. All things are connected Intimately intertwined By a web of pure love Which is sewn by the mind. Once thus [...]

Ecstasy… bliss beyond experience. All men seek this, Yet it can be theirs with little searching … Your true nature is love – There beyond the body’s shell. Expand your current boundaries And you will come to know this well. These boundaries that do bind you You, yourself, did put [...]
“Be in this world, but not of it.” Wise words which you should know. When truly them you understand, Then with Spirit do you go. For yes, in flesh you walk. But flesh is just your wrapping. If you do think it’s all you are, Then your flesh your spirit’s [...]

The gentle rustle in the trees whispers … It calls your name. But do you hear it? As subtle as spirit. “Come to me,” it calls As a dead leaf falls. Brittle. No longer useful… Each life on earth comes to an end But you should have no fear. When [...]
(An unusual poem today, but even more unusual is the ABAB rhyming pattern that flowed so easily ...) Swinging from a tree, Back and forth you go, Experiencing such glee To see the ground below. Oh how high you fly With feet up in the air. You watch the earth [...]
(Note from Suzanne - the poems may be posted at odd hours for the next 5 days, but they'll eventually be posted each day!) Begin at the beginning Where all good projects start. How you start your day out Will reveal if you are smart … Do you rush about [...]

(Regular readers will recognize this voice ...) A soliloquy - Words uttered alone Just as the tree that falls … Does anyone hear them? Speak not with fear But utter your innermost thoughts With confidence Knowing they are heard. Is it so absurd To think you’re not alone? Jack and [...]

This morning I asked a question and the answer came in rhyme. I felt as if the poem were addressed specifically to me because it spoke of the twitching finger which happens to me so often. Other than that detail, the poem is universal, but I asked for another anyway, [...]
When someone does you wrong, Turn the other cheek. Some would say it’s folly. Some might think you weak. For what’s the value there? Why forgive another’s acts? Just try it once and send out love, Then see how he reacts. Your Bible says to do this, But most find [...]
Revere not the powerful ones. Over you they hold no sway. It’s you who holds true power When you take the time to pray. Just as a tiny ant does work And carry loads upon its back, You, too, can do great feats in life But without the burden of [...]
Master of all that you see - Through your own creativity. All you see comes from your mind. There the creative force you find. Picture a rainbow stretching far. At the end there lies a jar. Will you fill it with golden beads? In your mind there lie the seeds. [...]
Sheep bleat; donkeys bray. Each speaks in its own way. Flowers bloom; water flows. In their movement, life it shows. All of creation tells a story. Where there’s life, you’ll find God’s glory. Take a breath and hold it in. The greatest truth is there within. Breath is life and [...]

A loving reminder from the spirit world of the simple message they continue to repeat. This poem came to me almost immediately, as fast as I could write the words … Out of darkness comes the light. The love of God dispels all fright. When you can sit and feel [...]
“The faint at heart” - what does it mean? Weak and timid, prone to scream. The term depends on how you choose The image of the heart to use. For yes, the tool which in you beats With a pattern that for years repeats Can grow old and then expire [...]
Weep no longer. Shed no more tears. There’s no valid reason To go on mourning for years. For loss comes to all. It’s a part of your path. But suffering and torment Very quickly can pass. It’s alright to grieve, To expel bad emotions. But the need to continue Comes [...]
