Poems

The admonishments of things,

that you may not like,

should be cast asunder,

given to dust to be brushed away,

and not matters to be remembered

Take with you instead a beautiful thought,

where joy emanates and glows,

like the innocent smile from a baby,

or a blossom beginning to show

The trials of our lives often seem daunting

and a bit out of our control,

but you can leave it to your God,

and move on, and just. . .let it go

Put some pep in your step,

and wear a smile on your face,

let a peaceful aura about you be seen,

allow no judgement of others,

to affect who you know,

you are meant to be

Take your time to rest and to reflect upon all that is good,

and all that is kind,

and revel in all that is beautiful,

as it is gracefully laid upon your mind

Finish and start over again.

May the spirit that is my God,

shine a guiding light ever so bright,

and may I  find peace and harmony,

with all things going right

May I laugh within myself,

and let it be shared throughout hallowed halls,

that I might rise high above,

and feel on top of it all

There are those moments that I lay silent,

with nothing on my mind,

where my clarity is not important,

and I’m not involved with time

My thoughts slowly become pieced together,

becoming my day, as I may realize,

that I feel under the covers,

is the best place for me to stay

How might I touch the day,

and what will I leave behind,

will it repeat itself again,

or will there be something new

and grand for me to find

The question first that is always posed,

what is the itinerary,

was it planned out

earlier on and I forgot,

perhaps ill look for,

some more clarity

Then as soon as the day did arrive,

there will be another just around the corner,

where I will once again, start it all over

Its beginning to seem that it might be easier,

if I could string a few days together,

then take a longer break, to come back,

to sunshine and better weather

But alas time does wait for everyone,

to put that one step forward, and those thoughts of turning around,

I’ll forget, even if it feels kinda awkward

So my thought for my new day,

will be just as I have done before,

no less than is needed, and an attempt with evaluation,

at doing even more

May your light shine brightly on your path,

even when dark and gray,

and May you stay your course with certainty,

even when times are a sway.

 

 

May the awakening and new presence of this day,

leave the past in rest, and the futures awaiting

May we rejoice in the moment and the vision that lies before us,

naked of thought, and expecting nothing

To take in the fragrance of an opening flower,

the calming serenity of the quietness of the dawn

To begin again as a fresh start, without tethers that bind,

refreshed anew, and simply move on

That all has been forgiven, and baggage left behind,

that the only thing being carried, is a smile on our face

A smile cast upon all, as naturally it seems to  be,

lithe in our walk, and an aura of Gods grace

And me willing as I am,

to thank my Lord for the many chances given,

and the lessons learned

That I might move in the light of his path,

avoiding misguidance, without being concerned

I wish this for you and everyone,

that all share in kindness and a united feeling of Love

Of Gods omnipresence, from all that surrounds us,

and from his warm embrace that holds from above.

The communion of Love, joy, and grace,

all gathered together

Smiles, warmth and happiness,

no matter what the weather

An awakening to such,

knowing not much else seems to matter

Drifting blissfully in peace, in a mind,

set in melodious grandeur

A bird sings, a clouds softness meanders by,

a gentle breeze caresses the soul

All things seem right, at that moment,

as all one needs to know

No thoughts misguided, by anger or pretense

Just a glow from within, that all things make sense

So if you see a bit of light on my path,

as I go merrily go by

Pass a smile to me, or a nod of the head,

as way to say HI 😊!!

BARACKA BASHAD

A day has gone by,

moments strung together

some lasting but a blink,

while others seeming forever

They paint a portrait an a canvas,

sometimes never to be viewed again,

while some are indelibly etched,

never to forget

Some we find ourselves screaming at,

others with a tear in our eye,

some a passing fancy,

some giving answers,

others with just why?

But as the many years drift,

like the clouds passing by,

of many shapes and sizes,

I guess I have decided,

and am no longer surprised

These are the years of accrued wisdom,

often times wished to depart,

but although we are quite different,

we all are of the same part

So tally forth until your done,

and just do your best,

for sometime in the future,

the LORD will provide you,

within his arms,

all of the peace,

calmness and rest.
