Poems

What will be provide for me as I start a new today

Perhaps a day of no decisions, just a day to be happy, and a day to play

Nothing to be scheduled, or noted for a later consideration

To open morning eyes, without pause or hesitation

To allow all as new, as each moment of time does dictate

To realize it’s just that second of time, and for the rest I must wait

To conjure up thoughts, and ideas, to create and have a plan

A good idea, but no crystal ball, to actually see what lies ahead

Then remembering, I’m one of so many, placed upon this earth, and a question

So many of opinion, and their ideas, quick to give direction

Sometimes I’ll feel adrift, and not part of what its meant to be

Sometimes a heavy burden, when all I want to be is free

Free with my own decisions, that I might fall or fly free

My gift given from my Lord, given just for me

So rather than to try, to direct me on a path, that you deem as right

Allow me blessings provided, and my own life to write

For my God is omnipresent, even with my failures and my elations

That I may marvel in the world around me, and do so, by my own translations

I’ll wish for you, all the joy and peace and kind, to be always on your mind

As I hope that you would do the same for me, that the same, could also be mine

Smile upon our day given, smile upon others that you pass along your way

As the light upon us all, is the new presence of his Love, provided on this day

I thinking I might pick up a pen, and write it all down

The thoughts to be placed in order, rather than just skipping around

Perhaps a cup of coffee, grasped by the handle, and held in my hand

But alas, for the moment, it’s not within my command

And maybe carefully trimmed hair from about my ears

But trying to hold them scissors, dang I have my fears

Maybe a bowl of cereal and milk

But then I’d need a spoon

Getting ahead of myself again

A little bit to soon

I May seem a bit needy, and it may seem a bit dumb

I’m just trying to grasp it all……if I only had a

THUMB !!!😿

To be the monolith,

That stands alone

Omnipresent and in all

And needing no home

A presence for those,

Whom are aware

Acceptance in soul,

And as one in his care

A path not necessarily spoken,

Rather to be shown

Given through Love and kindness,

Upon our road

Teachings gathered,

Reflections in sight

That begin, sometimes with time,

Of all things right

The mortal beings,

Of what we are given

Become interpretations,

Often a bubble, of what we live in

But as we develop,

A hope of understanding

With a need of more giving,

And less of demanding

Not what we perceive,

Or listen to, from what others opine

But a simpler sense of being,

From the one, illuminating Devine

To perhaps clear the slate,

In a moment of awareness

To take a step in a direction,

Of kindness and fairness

Setting aside an agenda,

That seems important to betterment

To be there to help,

Those whom are, much less fortunate

Forgoing the judgement,

Allowing in the light

An opening of the heart,

A knowing of whats right

May you find today,

That knowing, of your GOD,

Within his graces and guidance,

And all his Love

For the moment of nothing, just a blink,
of indeterminant amount of time,
then before a second has ticked off,
endless thoughts roll through my mind.

Then again the stoppage of my inquiring,
of ideas and perceptions, that race about,
some finding answers, and some just leaving,
they’re most uncertain doubt.

The chase of my tail, the reasons for me,
to go and sit down
Sometimes things, just seem,
to go round and round and round.

But I’ve learned to realize, that to wait until tomorrow,
to change life’s leaps and bounds.
Cause just as things seem so often to be lost,
they’ll be just as many to be found.

There is one certainty for me,
that I hold in the highest of regards.
As I feel the smile within,
when look up, and see God amongst the stars.

So may you find your solace and peace,
to dwell in your heart.
That they may bind together with you,
that you’ll never be apart.
May happiness, joy and endless faith of your Lord,
always be with you.

Oh to test or to tempt fate, a learning of lessons at an early age,
but even some of us, in the more golden years,
occasionally don’t hesitate.

It could start with simple touch of the tongue,
to a frozen pole
Or a jump into water, without knowing, just how cold.

And graduate from there, as to,
‘just how fast can this car go’
Possible dire results, possibly after,
when it’s to late to know.

Something simple, as the taste of a chili,
while others watch on, and fancy to know.
That might end with a gasp, and sweat on the brow,
and of course, bravery to show.

But these are just examples, usually harmless,
as we move on.
But there is one for myself, I’ve learned
Not to test, but accept as I’ve found.

I speak of the God, the omnipresent one,
that is so often challenged to a test.
‘if you give me what I need, I’ll take care of the rest’

But I feel as though there is much,
to be received, and is given
Left by the Lord for you, to make your own decision.

His guidance is available, should you be aware,
and choose to listen
Not always in books, and not always in a religion.

But as daily reminders, of both the ugly and the beauty
For you to see, and to choose, what is your duty.

Never give up, learn to be patient, for you will be tested
Not by the Sugmad, but by all of the rest of us.

We all have desires and visions, of what we might feel,
as best or correct.
Often swayed by opinions of others, sometimes reckless,
and with neglect.

But if you judge first, with kindness and with Love
The light of safe passage on your path, will shine from above.

So may you take with you, on this day, no temptation of fate.
But the Love that is provided, within the grace, and your faith.
