Silent Soul speaketh the truth

Posted Saturday, October 10, 2009 (42 days 9 hours ago.) Viewed 7 times.

Silent soul, thoughts running deep,
Like magma flowing in the chambers of what seems to be
a dormant volcano.
Bubbling deep beneath the surface. The silent soul speaks the truth,
nature will tell, and nothing will get in its way.
For the force of nature will clear the air in a burst of energy that leaves
all that has been hidden, clear for all to see and hear.

Reality and nature walk together hand in hand and nothing can part them but time. Time's cloak.

Silent soul, thoughts running deep, hide no more in the dark chambers.
Reveal the truth that lies within, and cast the shadow of deception aside...

Allow the roots of new life, new thoughts to grow in good soil, absorbing the sun's energy,
reach out for the hand that will bring happiness...

Speak the truth as you see it, as it is in your world, in your heart, in your eyes, then see how this sits with the reality of others that effect your life and ask them to speak their truth. Only then can
there be release from those silent thoughts bubbling up in the chambers of the mind.

Weatherman

You ask me how I'm feeling
whether or not I'm blue,
well to tell the truth dear
Weatherman,
It's entirely up to you.

When you say the sun is shining
and spring is in the air,
well my heart is full of happiness
from it's warm and gentle glare,

When you say"but"
when October comes,
the sun will hide behind a cloud
and disappear from sight,

Sorrow befalls and darkness calls
and things just don't feel right.

So, Weatherman remember
when considering how I feel
that every message you impart
can build or break me still.

The power of your own moods can effect others in a profound and dramatic way. We forget how much our everyday existence is challenged by the mood and response of others. Look at the mood set by the news paper tabloids and the power they have to set the mood of thousands. In this poem I am talking about just one person who effects my every day life deeply. It is a personification of larger issues of emotional power and control.

If...

Posted Saturday, July 04, 2009 (140 days 22 hours ago.) Viewed 19 times.

If I could sail the world three times over
and climb the highest mountain
and stand at the rim of Mount Etna's crater
I would, with you by my side.

With you by my side
there is no fear,

If I could
stir a crowd with a thousand funny lines
and raise the roof with laughter,
then I would

with you by my side
there is only joy,

If I could heal the suffering
with faith and caring
my heart full of sharing

with you by my side
there is only love...

I do not like this word "If"
what is it but a false barrier,
making hopes and dreams
worthless.

"If" is a cruel word that
implies the sabotage
of great and wonderful
thoughts and actions.

A poor relation to the word
"but", full of doubting and lack
of faith.

Let me begin again:

I will sail the world three times over
and climb the highest mountain
and stand on the rim of Mount Etna's Crater

With you by my side
there is no fear,

I will stir a crowd with a thousand funny lines
(it would take that many!)
and raise the roof with laughter

with you by my side
there is only joy

I will heal the suffering
with faith and caring
and endless sharing

with you by my side
there is only love.

I bequith to you my soul, my modest creative powers and my
silent thoughts, the most powerful gift of all.

When There Is No More To Say.

Posted Saturday, June 27, 2009 (147 days 22 hours ago.) Viewed 968 times.

When every word has been spent,
it's time to call it a day,
Every feeling, every desire, every message has been sent,
the curtain gradually closes.

With lingering pain,
of missed opportunities, feelings of loss,
staggering along the path,
stumble and fall, weak with
exhaustion.

Agonizing silence,
Withdraw into a cocoon,the only safe haven,
till the pain of love goes away,
just for today,

Hiding from the reality,
that it was all in my mind and not in his,
In my heart, but not in his,
In my words, but not in his.

So the curtain closes,
And I must stay in the dark
With these last spent words,
And pain in my heart.

Dedicated to all those people who have felt the strong arm of rejection. It's a painful path, but one that cannot be avoided. For no-one knows when God Apollo commands his archer to strike his potent arrow or when Puck's mischief is at hand to turn your world upside down. I certainly wasn't expecting one arrow in the heart and one in the achilles heal at the same time!!

Tranquility

Posted Wednesday, June 17, 2009 (157 days 7 hours ago.) Viewed 16 times.

Tranquility only comes with inner happiness.

When the person you love, loves you,
When everyday feels brand new,

When you can stand alone with your thoughts
and know he is thinking of you too.

Time ticks by, hour upon hour
days, weeks, months, years,
but nothing changes,
except the seasons.

Happiness is the inner strength
to hold on to what you believe in,
and nurture it every day,
knowing that he is never far away.

Tranquil in mind, body and spirit
and you in my world today and always.

Building a good relationship can take years, especially with the new way of communicating via email. How do you express your love and caring through a computer? Not being able to hold someone's hand that you love, or give them a loving bear hug. What detachment is this? It's almost like being on a starvation diet!! True, it is enough just to have someone to talk to and share thoughts. But what if you are wanting to be closer to someone. This would render email a form of torture rather than pleasure. Well, I suppose we have the same experience when we communicate with God. What do searchWarpers think of email communication?
