Re: Poems, words for the soul
Life by Charlotte Bronte
LIFE, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall ?
Rapidly, merrily,
Life's sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily,
Enjoy them as they fly !
What though Death at times steps in
And calls our Best away ?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O'er hope, a heavy sway ?
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair !
live life to its fullness and remember that sadness will one day fade and happyness will follow
love

Re: Poems, words for the soul
Who Am I?
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading "Keep Off."
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Carl Sandburg
just had to share this one, really beautiful, i felt it spoke to me

Re: Poems, words for the soul
here's one I wrote awhile back....
Hey it's Autumn you know it's red Moon season
there's no need for logic & reason
Close your eyes & picture a bird do you see the mockingbird?
She sings us stories of mysteries unheard
of thoughts, dreams, & vision crystallized in words

Re: Poems, words for the soul
Hi All,
The inspiration for this poem came from my connection with wynderer Nov. 21st 2006:
I am in love with a Dakini Miss.
To be in her presence is Pure Bliss.
To be away from her Unresolved Emptiness.
To be without her at all undeniably Death's Kiss.
Am I one to live with such Miserable Miserliness.
To squeeze her Hand, to kiss her Lips.
To marry her forever is my Undying Wish.

Re: Poems, words for the soul
here for you, when your hanging onto the last star in the sky
I'll hold your hand with hope
here for you,as the tears well up and fall down to earth
I'll squeeze them all out with a hug
here for you,if you can't seem to find the words to say
I'll take your breath away with a kiss
here for you,when your fists are closed and teeth are clenched
I'll open my heart and invite you in
here for you,if your ready to give it all up
I'll show you what you've given me
here for you,if the dream you bought turned out a trap
And so, i'll show you the key to your escape

Summer sun drys up the valley pond
A cloud forms potential in winter songs
Alchemy, a transmutation initiates
Enlightened to new heights falls the white in pace
Rests, meditates, and reflects the sun
Preserving life in the cold dry months
Soon at spring the summit snow slips down
The carved out path down with soothing sound
Carrying minerals to its home again
Stirs up the sea and feeds its family friends
Like the path of a philisopher so the mountain is
Ascends, Illuminates, and back again
A climb only the fiuid so choose to make
Like water forms to a rock to create
A bond like no other
Once you realize you are a part of your brother
Only then you become like the eagle
And so Ascent is eased with wings of freedom

Re: Poems, words for the soul
A Simple Poem
----------------------
The wisdom to see
The truth of Reality
In touch with Green
Tara, the trees and the seas.
Compassion is the Key
That unlocks the door for me
May all beings be happy
May all beings be free.

Re: Poems, words for the soul
The inspiration for this poem also came from my connection with wynderer (circa 2005):
Past Meeting Future
The threads of my past lives
I can feel them in my bones
It's the meeting of my future wife
Yet I still don't know
In life's many guises
Lies a myriad of surprises
And whatever rises
I must let it go
Until it returns again

Re: Poems, words for the soul
Two lines come from a Tai Situ Rinpoche (and 7th Karmapa) from the past:
In the face of Death.
Lies intolerable compassion
having lost what one never had
one gains what one never had
Everything Else Remains The Same
May the meaning of its empty essence
nakedly shine forth
Those two lines are from a Mahamudra prayer.
