I look up to the sky
Passed the clouds,
Passed the sky,
Into the heaven beyond.
The place where I came from,
The place where I will be,
As this brief span on earth
Is but the blink of an eye
In the life that I have lead,
The life that I am leading,
And the life I will lead.
As my journey of life
Continues in the light,
Continues in joy,
Continues in love,
Continues towards infinity,
All will be glorious.

In life we have our aims,
Those aims lie in front of us.
We may think them high
But if we set our aims low
And achieve them with ease
Life will become boring.
Always set your aims high,
And throughout your life
You will progress to new heights,
As you rise towards your dreams.

 

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.   Michelangelo.

Each day I wonder,
I wonder about god.
I know my god, My Spirit,
Is always with me.
It is not the god of religions,
It is the force within me,
That force that holds me,
Holds me within myself,
Within My Spirit,
My Spirit
Who has been with me
From Infinity,
And will be with me
To Eternity.

I sit upon the hill
And there all around me
I see natures beauty,
I see the greens of the fields,
I see the browns of the trees.

I look up to the sky,
And there all above me
I see the blues of the sky,
I see the whites of the clouds

With such wonderful beauty surrounding me.
I sit there and realise,
Realise that I am so lucky,
So lucky to see it all,
All of Natures artwork,
Shown to me
On Nature’s vast canvas,
For my absolute enjoyment.

Along the path I travel,
The way ahead is clear,
I see the final corner,
The end is very near.

I walk around the corner,
Fulfilment in my mind,
The path that I had followed,
Was not what I should find.

The path was blocked in this life,
A new path to be found,
My life’s direction will change,
New glories WILL abound.

In our lives we often find evil,
Evil in others,
Evil within ourselves.
If unrestrained that evil
Will cause o much harm.

That evil can be tamed,
As what is evil
Can be contained,
Can be contained within good,
And the good will show us,
Show us the way forward,
The way forward into love,
Into love and peace.

All of us sit at the table of life
Interacting with each other,
Interacting to ensure that our lives combine,
Combine into a bright fulfilling future.
We may argue,
We may agree,
But as long as the respect for each other
Can be seen to be fulfilled
We can be as one at the table,
We can move forward in life.
But it often happens in our lives
That one day respect stops,
Respect is no longer being served.
When that day happens
You must find the courage,
The courage to leave the table.

I sit with the page before me
And the words come tumbling out.
My mind, heart and soul
Are so full of them
That all else is forgotten
And I become lost,
Lost in the world of poetry,
Where time ceases to exist.
The words go on the page
From my never empty mind
Until I look up
And find that time has disappeared,
Disappeared onto the page,
With the words that I have written,
And needed to be there,
As these words need to be.

We enter life ignorant,
Ignorant of everything.
As we grow, we learn,
Learn so many things.
Every day we search,
Search for new ways,
Search for wisdom.
Each day is special
As we learn the meanings,
The meanings of life.
Sometimes we stop learning,
We think we understand all,
But what we do not realise
Is that understanding
Makes the mind lazy.
