I passed through insecurity
A dark, dark please that wasn't good for me
I passed through confidence without mind
But security and comfort I did not find
Now I've reached a new plateau
Where my ignorance has begun to show
I see now how pride pulled me down
Yet I won't leave this humbling town
I understand now I have much to learn
And in my soul I can feel a burn
To return to a place I left long ago
To gain some wisdom and finally grow
An attempt to write a poem a day for a whole year... no guarantees on quality - just quantity!
A poem a day to keep brain rot away
Join me as I attempt to create a poem a day... whether awesome, bawdy, corny, dreadful, entertaining, fabulous, gross or hilariously hokey, I will try to string together everything from couplets to limericks - just for the fun of fiddling with words!
May 3rd, 2012
Today is quite a special day. I have actually reached the one year mark. I posted my first poem on May 3rd, 2011. I have had a great time doing this. It has basically become a habit and I don’t really want to stop. So, I am going to continue this thread because I have enjoyed it so much. It’s true that most of the poems were terrible. Some were good (or at least I thought so!) but mostly they were a reflection of something I either saw that day, thought of, felt or heard. In any case, I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have. Here’s to letting the word out – come what may!

Reflections of tomorrow
Can the soul be satisfied
With only one true love?
Or do the heavens blaze
For those still awaiting us above?
No clamour from the persons
We've let go in the past
Understanding that tomorrow
Is really not meant to last
We've given up the east
To live with the setting sun
But in the end this is nothing
Except just a bit of fun
With only one true love?
Or do the heavens blaze
For those still awaiting us above?
No clamour from the persons
We've let go in the past
Understanding that tomorrow
Is really not meant to last
We've given up the east
To live with the setting sun
But in the end this is nothing
Except just a bit of fun

Reflecting on later
We're all headed to the great beyond
Once we accomplish what we set out to learn
We'll seek a return to our truest home
The place where angels and spirits dwell
The place we still know and love so well
Once we accomplish what we set out to learn
We'll seek a return to our truest home
The place where angels and spirits dwell
The place we still know and love so well

Love/Life
How can we harness the energy
That is made up of you and even me?
The vibrations that echo from age to age
Witnessing lifetimes of happiness and rage?
From the ether we have come down
To learn to live or sink and drown
Now with the thought that we are love
We can return to our homes above
That is made up of you and even me?
The vibrations that echo from age to age
Witnessing lifetimes of happiness and rage?
From the ether we have come down
To learn to live or sink and drown
Now with the thought that we are love
We can return to our homes above

Soul Web
We are all but an expression
Of a divine state of mind
A blink of an eye for a deity
A speck so very hard to find
And yet we're all entwined
In a never-ending web
Of truth and conscious souls
Seeking to lead & not be led
Of a divine state of mind
A blink of an eye for a deity
A speck so very hard to find
And yet we're all entwined
In a never-ending web
Of truth and conscious souls
Seeking to lead & not be led

Morning
When all the world is still
Awash in quiet glow
That's when the soul finds peace
With everything we know
No better understanding
Than what we see and feel
When gazing at the dew drops
Lit by sunlight's bands of steel
In the earliest morning hours
Before the world awakes
You can lose yourself in knowing
There can be no higher stakes
Awash in quiet glow
That's when the soul finds peace
With everything we know
No better understanding
Than what we see and feel
When gazing at the dew drops
Lit by sunlight's bands of steel
In the earliest morning hours
Before the world awakes
You can lose yourself in knowing
There can be no higher stakes

Stillness
Breathe.
Let the air flow.
Release your inner being,
And show the world your glow.
Wrap the silence in your fist
Embrace the morning chill
Accept the world we live in
And your soul will slowly still.
Let the air flow.
Release your inner being,
And show the world your glow.
Wrap the silence in your fist
Embrace the morning chill
Accept the world we live in
And your soul will slowly still.

The troubling voice
I cannot listen to the voice that sings
For all of the pain and longing it brings
As crazy as this notion seems
It's a light through darkness that constantly gleams
No other voice has such power
To make me crave and make me shudder
A part of my soul that broke away
Ages ago through the millennial fray
Together once in lives long past
Knowing that forever does not last
But feeling the pull nonetheless
Speak softly through my distress
So the melody now cannot flow
For every note is a bittersweet blow
For all of the pain and longing it brings
As crazy as this notion seems
It's a light through darkness that constantly gleams
No other voice has such power
To make me crave and make me shudder
A part of my soul that broke away
Ages ago through the millennial fray
Together once in lives long past
Knowing that forever does not last
But feeling the pull nonetheless
Speak softly through my distress
So the melody now cannot flow
For every note is a bittersweet blow
