Read Something
Read something that will imbue you with wisdom
And then perhaps call you to a more full life
While following your path, you will become
Calmer, more patient, and without as much strife

This Day Bleeds
This day bleeds into tomorrow
I can't cry; too much sorrow
Want this relentless pace to ease
Maybe when the geese go south in V's
Night fades to day, not much sleep
Waking nightmares reaching deep
I want my life back, my normal life
Angst twists within; a jagged knife
Breathless from the choking dust
Numb to others' pain
Each day more drained
My heart a calloused over crust
If I can just hold out a few weeks
When the telephone again speaks
And the devastation scars over
A new normalcy will take over
This new life won’t be the same
But I’ll say “look what I overcame”
And new hope will take root
A tender vibrant shoot
I Can Do Anything / World Without Limits
This world without limits beckons me on
To contribute wisdom though wondrous words
Opening windows to sights that were gone
And fanciful flights like countless birds
Protected by the surety of the flock
There's no need to worry you will lose you way
For the rhyme will guide you to safely dock
At your interpretation of what I say
The beauty of the language lets me permute
Its words into my very singular thread
To be enjoyed by those naïve or astute
As marks appear on the page from out of my head
Lift Up
Lift up your face to be infused
....With the glow of spectral light
Lift up your heart to be bemused
....By humor in your sight
Lift up your mind which is confused
....By worries left and right
Lift up your soul to be perused
....By God and angels all in white
A Sonnet for World Peace
Holding hands, praying, singing Kumbayah
Won't itself make the world a better place
You might as well wait for the messiah
To bless sinful man with eternal grace
It'll take the teaching of generations
To dispel the myths believed of others
The ragged and the rich populations
Understood as children by their mothers
Accepting ways of life that injure not
Of age-old tribal customs that enhance
Let land disputes, etcetera be forgot
And not bring girls of ten to wedding dance
We will slowly, through knowledge understand
That our differences do not wars demand
Paradise
Paradise is a locale of perfection
That describes a place like heaven
One may know it quickly or through reflection
Achieved slowly like bread allowed to leaven
Readings On Paradise
On Kindness
Please hold open this door for me
I've a burden I cannot put down
But if you are tired I hold no blame
Though I sweat and make a frown
Should you assist, I'll thank you much
For the lending of your arm
Someday you may have bundles such
And I shall keep you warm
On the Power of Kindness

Take the Bull by the Horns
Take the bull by the horns
Before you're skewered meat
Walk through thistles and thorns
By fighting and not in defeat
Nothing comes easily any longer
Civility, respect are not the norm
Our defenses must get stronger
As we weather this societal storm
We are seeing not the "me" generation
But the "I am supreme" generation
Take some time to teach your own
To logically approach a situation
To weigh all sides from the known
Transpose themselves to that location
In the end, they'll come to a fair resolution
That's hopefully a win-win for all
They won't stubbornly hold for retribution
Or be demanding, petty and small
Add some kindness to the compromise
The whole lot of us will be better off
and much more wise
Things Are Looking Up
Things are looking up, money be damned
We have considerations, we have plans
Spend the winter someplace warm; a beach
Options for adventure within our reach
We can look for jobs as it behooves us
Not allow hurt egos to ooze with puss
One month, maybe four, to reinvigorate
Wide eyed wanderlust through open gates
Give us this day our daily bread
Yes we'll eat and lay upon a rented bed
There are new trails to walk upon
New bends to conquer in the waiting yon
And when we tire of the vagabond life
Our home remains a welcoming wife
So we will joyful drink of future's cup
Money be damned, things are looking up
Books Reflecting the Message of What's Looking Up?
What Happened to the Energy
What happened to the energy, the drive
Not just having the basics to stay alive
To make things better, to create
Assuage the blahs; ameliorate
It's there! It just needs to be tapped
Don't be a zombie; don't get zapped
Try new things; a class, a craft, a dance
This isn't your last but it's your best chance
The Labyrinth of Life
Follow the labyrinth of life
Winding inward to your prime
Then outward to your greatness
Readings on Labyrinths
Falling, Falling
Falling, falling into this abyss
With nary a ladder or rope
I should have noticed my world amiss
So I could better cope
But that's how it often ends
A sane world turns chaotic
It's not too late to make amends
I need not go neurotic
If I twine my ideas into a cord
Up and up I may yet climb
Scale the steep cliffs of this fjord
Arm over arm just like a mime
Whisk Away the Cobwebs
Whisk away the cobwebs of the mind
And concentrate on the clarity you'll find
A new ability heretofore unknown
In thought or creativity will be shown
A Hidden Message
Only I will be privy to
When I hear it I will feel it
When I know it I will be comforted
All the pain will be but a wisp
And I will continue, stronger
Hidden Messages
More Inspirational Poetry for Your Pleasure
Happy Today
I'm not pulling my hair
Not so disgusted or in despair
A positive day, I'll say
Progress made today
I'm enjoying this small win
A compromise, to my chagrin
Unlike other wrenching days
When a pit in my stomach just lays
Heavy, heavy, leaving no room
For happiness; just a pallid gloom
Yes, this feeling of well being
Can't be momentary, fleeting
If I work at the beneficial
And ignore the superficial
More days will be happy ones
And the nasties, fewer reruns

Love reading poems and these ones you have here are very inspiring.
Poems are great motivators and people can come right here to draw inspiration.
I especially like "A sonnet for world peace," and your understanding that to achieve it, we must assure that those least able to defend themselves are free.
I like the lens and think you just "talked" me into making a lens with some of my poems. Thank you
You've inspired me to make a lens from my own poems, which I have not already done because I felt nobody would read them. I feel more brave now that I see someone else has already "plowed the field." Thanks for sharing.
