My Poems from Spirit

 

After my awakening, I began to write poems…these poems were of a spiritual nature.  I would have to jump out of the shower or stop whatever I was doing to write whole poems down. This had never happened to me before and after a while it began to scare me.  I asked God for it to stop.  I didn’t write again for many years but slowly as my understanding grew, my “Gift of Poetry from Spirit” began to manifest again.  The first poem I wrote is on the first page, “Who Am I?”

Featured Poem for February, 2012



Count to Ten…then Count Again

 

We spend a lot of our time I know…working up anger and letting it go!

 

We may not even be angry at any particular thing…

 

It just seems to get out…bad news it always brings!

 

I wish my anger to fly away…and never ever come back…

 

It serves no useful purpose…it even gives heart attacks!

 

Why, I’ve even seen some anger…make monsters out of men!

 

Really, I swear it’s true…No, I haven’t touched the gin!

 

Yes, anger can even change white faces into red…

 

Black faces into bitterness…those looks I always dread!

 

I guess it’s not the anger…as much as what comes then…

 

Then next day we end up wondering…How it might have been!

 

It took from us our J.F.K….his brother and the rest…

 

Snuffed out our dear Martin…and somehow it’s our best!

 

It takes away the unique ones…the beautiful and the brains…

 

What anger will wipe out next…shall give us all some pains!

 

The only cure for this disease…is LOVE and nothing less…

 

If we don’t wake up pretty soon…there’ll be naught to confess!

 

No trees…no movies…no Halloween…no music…no kisses…no whipping cream!

 

We’re heading into Danger!  Danger!  All because of that word ANGER!

Mustard Seed

 

Faith in me… A star you see…

At least that’s what you said!

A way to go… and seeds to sow…

But mainly in my head!

I know I’m strong… it won’t be long…

But God, it’s hard to wait!

My wants you know… so I will grow…

you seem to anticipate!

Your smile so sweet… my needs complete!

Your patience fills my heart!

I know it’s you… and you do too

We both did from the start!

And when it’s grown… when we’re full blown…

and others start to stare!

We’ll look and grin… ’cause it’s no sin…

It’s normal to walk on air!

God’s River of Life

 

Standing by God’s… great River of Life

 

I jump in again… and to my delight…

 

I’m soaked… clean through…

 

With God’s gentle Love… such sweet tasting brew!

 

The bare essence of… my soul’s desire…

 

Love's greatest test… my heart’s on fire!

 

The only way… to squelch my soul’s heat…

 

Is jump in again… from head to feet!

 

I could stay right here… forever & ever…

 

God's precious Love... brought my soul to tether!

Freedom

I know… it’s nothing less than this…

And oh… how Heavenly the bliss!

You… could never let me down…

Or look upon me… with a frown!

I’ll be the best… that I can be…

My life is yours… my soul is free…

Too short… the journeys of this life…

Chock full… of worry, toil and strife!

So often… late our lessons learned…

We recoil… our fingers burned!

To recognize… our immortality,

Will take our souls… from jeopardy!

Please don’t wait… until the end…

It’s not too late… your Love to send!

Peace shines forth… for all to see…

The love of God… will set you free!

Across the Gap

 

We bridged the Gap, you and I… I’m so darn happy, I could almost Cry…

You reached out, I took your hand… We stood firm, we took a stand!

And proved it’s all, a fallacy… They look at us, with jealousy…

If people only knew, It’s Great!   I hope they do, before too Late!

You are my lover, I am your friend… We’ll stand together, until the End…

Our example, for all to see…  And with the truth, they’ll be set free!

The joy they’ll get, from crossing over… They’ll make new friends, find a brother…

But all-in-all, they’ll see it’s true… That LOVE for mankind, is the glue!

Love cements us, all together… It’s so darn strong, it’ll last forever…

The legacy, we’ll leave our kin?  We’ve been to hell, and back again!

Through the fire, ’till we could see… We crossed the Gap, our souls are free…

To get across, it’s worth the pain… All of our prejudices, have been slain!

We stand together, we stand so tall… We’ll stand until, they hear our call…

We call to YOU, and YOU and YOU… We say what we did, you can too!

Just look inside, a soul and heart… You’ll set the glue, no one can part…

Extend a hand, hold on for life… Across the Gap…there is no strife!

We do not beg, we will not plea… Our Love tells all, and All will See!

Yargo

“Dedicated to Jacqueline Susann”

 

From the stars, my Yargo came… he picked me up one night

From that moment, I’m not the same… and it’s certainly not from fright!

I looked at him… he looked at me… it was as with a chord,

Inside my heart… melody… was cutting like a sword!

Not only was the tune quite new… the rhythm near sublime…

And in the end, the symphony… was way ahead its’ time!

The pain I felt was dazzling… the pleasure seared, I’m sure!

Wherever this trip takes me… I do not want the cure!

Jacqueline, you did not go… so very far away,

For in your book, I met Yargo… the joy is here to stay!

I wish I could have said, “Thanks so much!”… to you and so much more…

Now I must say for those … Me too… who knew and loved Yargo!

The Way

“Dirty laundry”, mama said, “has a way of smellin’!”

“Naughty boys”, poppa said, “have a way of tellin’!”

Little trees, at my knees, have a way of growin’…

Ol’ black folk, on the farm, have a way of hoein’!

Determined men, on their way up, have a way of stabbin’…

Pushy women, tired of sharing, have a way of gabbin’…

Mother Nature, at her best, has her way of showin’…

Little children, on Daddy’s knees, have their way of glowin’!

All HIS Love, if anyone cares, is yours for the askin’…

Just come on in, you’re free of sin…

For in HIS LOVE you’re baskin’!

Angel of Light
 

An Angel of light… descended one night…

Came to my room… dispelled all my gloom!

Said, “Fear, Never More… just open the door!

Don’t wait too long… for heavenly song…

We’re always right here… you don’t have to fear!

We lift you with Light… so Love can take flight…

The answer’s inside… where none can deny

The truth from above… said the Angel of Love!

God’s Garden of Love… sent with His Light…

Resides in us all… just give us a call!

We’ll always be here… transcending all fear…

And lighting your way… to fields where God plays!

Please join us real soon… there’s plenty of room…

We’ll laugh and have fun… send fear on the run!”

Then Angel of Light… departed in flight!

Said, “Fear never more… Fear never more!”

No Worries

 

Listen strong… to the New Universe!

Yesterday’s desires are only dreams…

Smile… and remember your Heart!

 

We ran through the naked wind like ghosts…

Though we endured the bitter pools…a long time ago!

Learning can be ferocious at times!

 

PEACE smiling in the dark…

Softly surrounding our naked hearts…

And whispers, “No Worries”!

And The Winner Is…

 

Treat you good… sweet me nice…

Kisses are… the spice of Life!

Cramped and crimped… laced and stretched…

Finding out… more ways to fetch!

 

Here I come… there you go…

Onward, upward… goes the show!

In and out… back and forth…

Who goes next… is worth the sort!

 

Less is more… more is less…

Can we win… the final test?

Hand me downs… pull me ups…

Who’s to win… the silver cups?

 

How to see… through thick and thin…

Where we scrape… and bow to win!

Blessed you are… loved am I…

Makes me want… to sit and cry!

 

Twist me up… wind me down…

Who will win… the kinky crown?

Pour me out… drink my cup…

Bend me, shape me… sit me up!

 

Once is now… all is One…

You and I… our tale is spun!

Lord of All… Prince of Peace…

Now I see… our golden fleece!

Love Garden

 

Our garden grew from our delight...

And every day… is the first night!

On your sweet lips does my song start..

I heard your voice... you touched my heart!

Other lips have tried my song...

But in your arms… do I belong!

At birth our garden's seeds were sown...

And when we met... Love was full grown!

The weeds were already weeded out...

The stalks were strong, firm and stout!

The flower's names we knew by heart...

And from our garden… we'll never part!

It was so easy... to come on in!

I saw you smile... you saw me grin!

We are so thankful… that we knew

That from our souls... our garden grew!

I AM a camel… and a tasty yak stew!

 

I AM a forest… an ocean and a fawn…

I AM the clippings… of a fresh mown lawn!

 

I AM a winding river… the primordial Glue…

I AM a Joan of Arc… trying to catch a clue!

 

I AM a beatle… on burning desert sands…

I AM a baby… tender, true and grand!

 

I AM a turtle… swimming in the sea…

 I AM a singer… the scent of morning dew…

 

I AM the God… Residing in each of You!

Journey to OZ

 

Traveling down… the yellow brick road…

We often seek… to lighten our load!

Many’s the time… we neared destinations…

Only to wind up… with many frustrations!

Journey we Must… to end up in OZ…

Often the times… we give up the cause!

Adventures we find… without even looking…

Sometimes it’s true… our gooses were cooking!

But onward we trod… forever searching…

Backwards and forwards… and sideways we’re lurching!

The monkeys are flying… and playing their tricks…

The witches are cackling… and riding their sticks!

And still we go forth… to seek Emerald City

No one knows why… they look on with pity!

We each have a wish… deep in our soul…

That carries us onward… we must reach our goal!

We’re not even positive… what we may find…

We only must get there… our faith, “Is it blind?”

Onward to OZ… Onward We Go…

For deep in our spirit… we honor our soul!

Divine Grace

 

Oh the Joys in discovering Thee…

From Divine Grace, I’ll never flee!

 

Thank you, Thank you God…and more…

Blessings follow, too many to store!

 

Sweet tears of Angels flow down my cheeks…

When a glimpse of Heaven, did I peek!

 

Holy words come to my mind…

Angelic trips, we fall… but wind

 

Ever Upwards and Higher Still…

When we align with God, our Will!

 

Treasures hover, within our reach…

Pleasures uncovered, that still our speech!

 

Mountains climbed… But more I see…

“God, I see You!  Do you see me?”

Hungry for Heaven

 

I woke up one morning… and what did I hear?

 

“Get Hungry for Heaven… ’Cause it’s coming here!”

 

Contemplate… Meditate… Prayer is a start…

 

Look to the center… of your very own Heart!

 

Upwards and Downwards, Sideways… and then?

 

You’re searching for Heaven? ... “I heard it’s Within!”

 

Contemplate… Meditate… Our prayers have begun!

 

I think I can hear it… That Heavenly song!

 

I’m Starving… I’m Raving… I’m Crazy as Sin…

 

I’m Hungry for Heaven… So let it Begin!

Waiting

 

What happens when too long we wait?

It seems we need to anticipate…

And soon we see our weeds of mind…

It bleeds our skin and fires our spine!

 

It challenges us to wind our feet…

Abandon thoughts to sinking deep!

We leave the freedom of our cage…

We whine and sing contender’s rage!

 

Too soon we leave the line of wait…

Too hard we bake unleavened cake!

Too fast we beat a weakened breast!

Too late to cancel all our debts!

 

Blessed be our hearts today…

Cancel all false starts and stay…

Inside our rainbow spirit’s bright…

To follow all ways to the light!

 

To end life’s waiting game today…

Begin to smile our cares away!

Believe in Love and all that’s right…

And cancel all our fears tonight!

 

Again we see the line that’s long…

We start out right and sing our song…

Of all the years of war and sad…

We turned it all inside, to Glad!

 

Our strength is Love and nothing more…

To find inside our open door!

Travesties become so right…

And turns our darkness into LIGHT!

 

We wait no more, forever free….

We jump right up and shout with glee!

We wonder why, we then did snort…

We see the line was... Oh so Short!

The Endless Sublime

 

Younger days… fly high and wild…

Older days… seem tame and mild!

Younger love… burns hard and fast…

Older love… turns slowly past!

Young at heart…the way to go…

Old at heart… a token show!

Many a heart… is broken and lost…

Once love’s gone... Oh, what the cost?

Never again … to Live, Love and Laugh?

Bounteous joys… a thing of the past?

Unleash those chains… you locked long ago…

Wake up and live… the Big Picture Show!

Create your life… One step at a time…

Live, Love and Laugh…The Endless Sublime!

Visions of Rhapsodies

 

My quest for the truth…

Has lead me to visions…

Visions of rhapsodies…

Melodies of galaxies…

Orchestrated in universes…

Instead I found… eternal youth…

I reap endless bounties…

I acquire fountains of luxuries

for my soul…  and…

Vast Visions of Rhapsodies!

The Crew

I’ve so much yet to give… and so much more to say…

Each night I pray I’ll live… to give another day!

The past I can not change… nor would I want to try!

The present I’ll rearrange… to help my friends get by…

The future is my dreams… that one day will come true…

Until that day our friends… on the ship of life are crew!

We each will do our job… we all will do our part!

And when the journey’s ended… it’s only just the start!

Love mends the hurt and conquers all…

Love cheers the mind… we’ll have a ball!

No need to worry… don’t you fret…

You can join us… there’s still time yet!

No reservations needed here… someone’s waiting to lend an ear!

We’ll try and give you what you need…

Your growth will come… you planted the seed!

The end result?  That’s up to you…

You first will have to join the crew!

We’ll give you much… you’ll grow and learn…

And then one day… you too will yearn…

To pass along the joyous news…

And shout out loud, “COME JOIN THE CREW!”

"Where is the Light?"


Writing in my journal of life…

I jot down all the worries and strife!

But what about the LIGHT?

What happened to illumination?

Where did the Light go… When I lost my way?

Dumbfounded by the quest for Light…

I had lost my inner sight!

But wait!  What light in yonder person be?

Why, ‘tis none other than… ME!

The light had always been around…

It was within in ME… when found!

"REMEMBRANCES REVEALED"

 

Since I was a little kid... a couple of years, or so, ago...

I've had trouble understanding... why we hurt each other so!

Once I saw an old black man... carrying a mattress on his bent head...

He had to step off the sidewalk... to let some white folks get ahead!

I felt the pain he was dealt...and deep inside... the humiliation he felt!

I was only a small white child... southern middle class at that...

But my brow wrinkled up... I wanted to knock those grown-ups flat!

I saw so many dreadful things... I knew they all were wrong...

As now I know how Yoko felt... when they ended her sweet John's song!

You see, there was more than one man, who fingered that deadly gun...

Just as I know more will do it... before the war is won!

This isn't a new or different war... it's as old as brother Cain!

Until prejudice and hate is dead... Alienation is going to rein!

No one wanted their Beatle man... to marry his Japanese bride...

Why couldn't they see her beauty within?  They made her feel she had to hide!

And every day across this land... another Lennon hits the ground!

Another Yoko is left alone... with hateful people all around!

I certainly hope this is getting through... to each and every one of you!

You know who you are... so what else can I do?  Except to say... One day…

Let's imagine you've finally found the man of your dreams!

But your folks don't like him… his family is too poor it seems...

Your friends all say, "He's so short... she's too fat! ... He's much too old!”

People stare at you and retort... “She doesn't seem to fit our mold!”

What will you do when that day comes?  I pray that you don't break...

And give away your one true love... for pious people's sake!

God loves us all... just as we are... no matter what our skin… or sin!

He only asks us that we “LOVE”... and not give up on HIM!

He doesn't forbid having fun... or even smoking pot!

He only says..."Don't Pig out!"  And that covers quite a lot!

I pray, someday, I'll see that man again!  I'll help him with his heavy weight…

Then we will walk… hand in hand... Up to that Pearly Gate!

"WITHIN"

 

Love, Light and Understanding…

Sometimes Life is so Demanding!

How to unwallow… from our Ego…

Incantations of Life to Bestow…

On all of our collective Souls!

With all of our predictive Sighs…

For all of our vindictive Lies!

Where do we go from here?

We pace… We race…

We try to contact Outer Space…

While all this time… Truth lies Within!

This makes me grin… then smile and laugh out loud…

And soon I see that brilliant cloud…

For all Life’s answers, have ever been…

WITHIN!

Capturing the moment… is all we can do…

You’re with me… and I’m with you!

 

Don’t worry about tomorrow… today is today…

From present joys it will take away!

 

Forever can be… a really long time…

Today is when your light should shine!

 

If the magic is there… grab it quick…

Your love will be the glue to stick!

 

So when you hear your moans and whines…

“Tomorrow, will he really be mine?”

 

Stop yourself and say real quick…

“Today’s the day I’ll make it stick!”

On entering the stratosphere…

Would seem alarming to some, my dear!

But don’t you worry… please don’t fret…

The countdown hasn’t started yet!

Looking back at planet earth…

‘Twas my beginning… place of my birth!

My journey’s end… found me out here…

The universe is God’s design…

Given to US… It’s yours and mine!

What glorious praises can I sing…

What wondrous LOVE to us HE brings!
