Three Short New Poems
Monday 08 Apr 2013
I would like to share 3 new poems with you. These poems are only 4 stanza's long, so are different to my usual longer didactic poems. The three poems are on:
KINDNESS, and the
I have also added another longer poem into the "Poetry" section. It is called WAKING UP. The Microwave background is used as an analogy for the poem. The recent photo used gives a visual display of the point at which photons carrying their important information are released from the hitherto opaque universe around 300,000 years after the Big Bang. The information they carry is energetically the same, but has (as the poem suggests) been heavily conditioned over intervening time of approximately 14 billion years..
I once met an angel on this pathway of life,
I was foul and putrid --- full of strife.
This angel embraced me, loving arms --- unreserved,
Filling me with love and acceptance, that seemed undeserved.
Her touch refined consciousness to see deep --- past the pain,
But when I tried to hold on she had gone once again.
My tension came back and stench had returned,
But a new path became visible, so gradually I learned.
With practice I discovered I could go this new way,
And refine my awareness to keep my fears at bay.
Being born into each moment, with a mind state so free.
Brought me closer to truth, using the angel's key.
I think often of that angel I met on the way,
The purity she showed me was a wonderful display,
A model to embrace me and indeed all of mankind,
To remove the scales from my eyes and be no longer blind.

When kindness touches me it opens my heart,
It unifies and shows me I am not apart.
Its empathy floods through my whole being,
And gives me a new view on what I am seeing.
Kindness --- brings me closer to love,
Accepting myself --- seeing like angels above.
Modelling a beautiful way for me to be,
Then realising its practice can set me free.
My wellbeing is helped when kindness is done,
It causes giggles of laughter and is such fun.
Compassion shines through in the kindness act,
With love and joy in a balanced pact.
Kindness is beauty so close to truth,
Vibrant and energetic --- a fountain of youth.
It brings me home to this present moment in time,
With eyes to see union in a world sublime.

Singing mind bright and clear,
When your there I have no fear,
Your presence keeps me focussed and true,
There is no time for me to feel blue.
Deep clarity is there when you're with me,
To see through my feelings, you set me free.
There is no other place I would rather be,
Than living my life with you guiding me.
Tensions untangle when you're around,
Your stillness brings me back to ground.
Your soothing beauty makes me calm and still,
Your wisdom and truth cures my every ill
But most of all I appreciate you when,
You bring me wisdom to deal with men.
The world can no longer bring me pain,
Because you are there to keep me sane
