This morning I asked specifically for words to say to a friend who is dealing with difficult physical challenges. I did not expect a poem in response, but the spirit world gave me a beautiful one anyway. The words apply to anyone in the same position, so I share them [...]
This one, a direct and very clear answer to a friend's request for guidance from the spirit world ... Watch your words like a hawk. Do you whisper or squawk? Sometimes others can miss And sense a venomous hiss. When what you said came from pain And in your voice [...]
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 [...]
Hark! The angels sing. Like crickets Rubbing their wings. All the world Exists to praise - Their spirits to raise Through song and laughter Reaching to the Ever After. Raise your voices. Sing aloud. Choose a cloud And soar. Be bound no more By limits and beliefs. Such thiefs! Stealing [...]
Each man has his own troubles. Each sees things his own way. You feel as if no one understands you At the end of the day. Why these deep misconceptions? Why put up with such strife? For you see not the oneness – The unity of all life. For now [...]
Go forth with love. Be not afraid. Be the creator For as the Creator you’re made. Whatever it is You wish to achieve, See it already accomplished. Your doubts simply leave. For this is how miracles happen. It’s not simply chance. You create with your mind Like a great cosmic [...]
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 [...]
Bravery … Going beyond your fears. Having the courage to face your extinction Before you have lived all your years. We do not wish to denigrate Those whom you tend to call brave, But courage would come to all If you knew there was nothing to save. For death is [...]
Do you think this is a game? And that our message is always the same? Then why do you come sit and wait As if these poems they are your fate? For yes, the message does not change. It’s just the words we rearrange. For so many have not yet [...]
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 [...]
So many possibilities And all for you to take. For you are a creator - Like your Maker you can make. You need only plant the seed Then with your actions watch it grow. So be not so surprised When you do reap what you do sow. So many cry, [...]
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 [...]
Humility – yes, a virtue When you check your pride. The need to feel more important Is something you can’t hide. Pride comes when you do feel Your separation from your brothers Thinking you are somehow best In how you relate to others. It may be in the things you [...]
(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 [...]
“Your cup runneth over.” Just what does this mean? That your heart flows with love Like an unending stream. This gush of emotion Comes when you do allow What is your greatest asset Yourself to others endow. If only your cup Were this full all the time, Then you would [...]
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 [...]
I find this poem interesting in that it's not something I normally focus on, yet obviously the spirit world does ... Smoke stacks spew their bilious fumes Polluting your air. Does no one care? Fish swim in streams Turned green But not natural. There’s nothing natural in a scene Where [...]
Search not first for answers from others. For all answers start within. Available for the asking, When you are ready to begin. There are many ways your questions May be answered once you ask. To stay attuned for how they come- This is your challenge and your task. Who can [...]
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 [...]
