Inspirational Poems (4,950)

Too many buttons to push;
too much effort maintaining
a 2016 tush;

Too much
Too little
Too late;

It all boils down
to wisdom and faith.

I went to Woodbine Golf and shot a 52
Then I shopped in downtown Galena
I got a chocolate covered brownie
Four chocolate chip cookies
A pen
Then I went to McDonald's and got three cheeseburgers with extra pickles
I went up to Muscoda after that and looked for some morels to buy
The cop said I was a week early as there wasn't any morels to buy yet
I bought some cheesy ranch popcorn at Rural Route Popcorn in Monfort
Then I shot a game of pool at a bar I used to play pool at
The two guys I used to play pool with
One is in prison for shooting a guy and killing him
The other lost his eye sight to diabetes and is living in Monroe
I finished up my day coming to the library and writing this poem
The end

I wanted to be a actor, and act upon the stage. I wanted to be a actor and hear the peoples praise. but the stage has never been and the time is never more. so/ I wanted to be an actor and act upon the stage I wanted to be an actor and hear the peoples praise.

I believe that we are all creative gifted people in one way or another.
Some may appear more gifted than others
And some may seem to have not yet found their forte
Many may have not ever been encouraged, praised...told well done, that's great !
So have little self-worth, not enough confidence to try.
Or, to reveal their self belief, capability.
Thankfully we are never too young or too old to flourish, to excel.
Creativity can always be birthed in new exciting ways from us all !
And new horizon's await .
Therefore it’s never too early or too late !

Sitting alone on her back porch swing,
Thinking of time going by,
Takes her mind on a magic carpet ride,
Closes her eyes and starts to cry,

She knows her life's not what it's meant to be,
Her teardrops puddle on the floor,
To be one of Them in a Cute Red Dress,
She cries till she cries no more,

Day becomes night as she dries her tears,
A shining bright Angel appears from the dark,
This vision quiets all her fears,
Giving her the strength to carry on,

Suddenly the wheels fall from her chair,
She rises uncertainly on broken feet,
A miracle's rained down on her shattered life,
A miracle that's made her life complete,

She opens her eyes to a bright new day,
No one will ever believe it's true,
She prances so joyously in her new sun,
She knows now what she must do,

Off she goes! in her cute red dress,
Smiling at THEM as she holds her head so high,
The Angel lifts her in it's mighty arms,
And off away they fly
On High

I heard the angels singing above
Calling out their message of love

The mountains trembled and the skies rumbled
the seas danced with fury
as the clouds marched in a hurry

A great light shattered through the night as an angel
with silver wings took flight

She was so beautiful to me with fire and full of desire
Yet, only to offer healing to a world that lost its way.

She said unto me, "beloved of the earth always know you are loved and cared for each day.
Take not the things pure and good of this life for granted for it will one day fade
Hide not your love for each other for everyone is your sister and brother

Though you may feel at times your prayers may not be answered
They are always noted in the heavens written with each breath you take for his namesake

Oh the heavens hear your petitions and your inner thoughts
Some noble others for naught
Many cry of being surrounded and yet alone
You are only alone when you build your walls of doubt and offer petty little pouts

The day shall come when the heavens shall answer
The king shall call to his own to welcome them home
All are called but few choose to listen mostly because they can't hear between the noise of their own groaning.

But don't despair for there is always someone who cares
We may complain that life is unfair as the burdens we carry are unique and heavy to bear
They shall pass in time and life goes on and the weather shall be fair.

Hold onto your friends and family and to the ones who care
One day you will need them to be there
Push not away the hand that feeds you nor the arms that embrace you
Yet, how often does everyone do so.

For all the things we seek we shall find if we look in the right place as long as we don't give up on the race

I watch clouds, they hurry on their way
Light and fluffy, as messages at play
Telling a story, for those that wait
Reading the sky, taking a break

From daily life, also hurrying past
Minute by minute, time cannot last
And as those clouds, quickly chase
Thoughts-memories, in constant haste

Time to relax, and control our time
Take a deep breath, drifting is fine
Everyone needs, to be in control
Breathe in peace, refuel the soul

Between lines, you intended to read
Incase it's painful, no need to proceed
Yet sometimes, we should simply ask
Before we assume, and a net caste

Holds our thoughts, under control
Sadly just thoughts, without soul
Possibilities, not in stone but ice
Changing quickly, as rolling a dice

Maybe it's us, who hastily chose
Route to follow, instead of pose
Waiting outcome, gradual steps
Built a wall, quickly inside leapt

Dawn walks in blue and diamonds
in robes of darkest grain
wind-parted

Sleeping she looked
like a river
Like a river
at dawn,
silver

sliver
of moon, wind

in poplars, flickering

of a candle that grows
imperceptibly
taller as it burns

Manacled girl
naked
surrounded

by flames, gigantic

rose
of painless fire—

Now I have passed through
voice and fire
could I be cleansed
of all
desire,
I don’t think so

Icon: cold gold telepathic eyes

Sacrament of metaphor, sacrament of matter

Aren’t stars almost in your vicinity

It was only the barest beginning starward-
bound, only the March branches, only
the first gifts of the first awakening
waiting
forever
to be born…

Dawn walked in blue and diamonds.

Time

wind my spirit
to weaving of the kelp in the ocean front
neither tossed nor torn
faultless

Time

define my days
as washed sand in tides ever passing
neither rage nor reckon
eternal
