Last Commented Inspirational Poems (4,952)

I awoke, again, arose to see the sun
Beaming through my window;
The sky bright and hopeful.
The birds chirping, the dogs barking.
I hear nearby sounds of life and movement.

It’s here, again, this time with rain
As the day starts with a gloom.
The sky is curtained with clouds of grey.
No birds chirping - it’s a quiteish day -
I see it through the windows of my room.

Another new day of God’s blessings.
Another new day of man’s stressing
About what the day may bring.
How should I use it, live it, honour it?
Why wouldn’t I want to give my best?
It’s another new day with which I’ve been blest.
Another new day, so make good use of the time,
Regardless of whether there’s rain…or sunshine.

Today is like any other some say,
But nothing comes easy hard is the way.

Someday I’ll make something good of myself.
Someday I’ll be famous and have so much wealth.
Someday I’ll save up and get me that thing.
Someday I’ll succeed and live out my dream.
Someday I’ll have and won’t know what to do with.
Someday I’ll marry her I swear I’m gon’ do it.
Someday day I’ll quit for real, for good.
Someday I’ll get fit and lower my blood.
Someday I’m certain, you get the gist.
One day I’ll get sick of living like this,

But someday can wait for a season because,
I know it will come I just put it on pause.
I know what I said before but I meant,
Some other day when time is well spent.

Today I will act like a coward and so,
Today I’m afraid that my shadow might grow.
Today I just need more rest, more sleep.
Today it’s bad weather and snow covered streets.
Today it’s still early it’s only begun,
Today it’s too late and the evening has come.
Today I am willing to settle for less,
Today I can’t give it my all or my best.
Today is just Monday of course there’s still time,
Sunday’s a day of rest, I must get mine.

Today there are so many reasons why,
you will not decide, you don’t feel alive.
How long has it been? Maybe it was five,
Or more years ago when it first was a lie.

Was it New Year’s Day or the date of your birth?
Precious that day, but what was it worth?
Plans, a bright future can be delayed,
But Someday, that day for you is today!

Streets full of escapades
low light in city lamps
neon liquid deliverance

An ounce of beauty
Marilyn is better than a pound
of feigned intent

Go marshal the heathens
realise the rogue lies
in all that pearls

Wolf gathering seeps
troopships after dark
shells for sacrifice

Raise it on the hill
barrels and garnish
last Indian standing

I stand at North Head*, and the sea,
Spreads its arms, in most joyous blue,
Horizon's edge; - infinity,

Now drops away before my view,
As I extend my gaze beyond,
To imagine a clear purview;-

Of dreams in magic fractal frond,
Distant white caps, sapphire blue sea;-
Far from this land that is my bond;

As I find an epiphany,
In Nature's rills of seamless waves,
That seem to dance there just for me,

And this is what my spirit craves,
Cyan water, powder-blue sky;-
Where some have gone to watery graves,

And, we will never know just why;-
They sing now in the restless deep,
A siren's song, a plaintive cry,

The endless waves sing them to sleep,
In Old Poseidon's seething chains,
Don't think of them - for them, don't weep,

For they leave no Earthly remains,
Their spark of life, back to Nature,
And echoed in the waves' refrains,

The Sun wheels in a sky of azure,
Beneath my feet are craggy cliffs,
Waves burst in each rocky fissure,

Of ancient sandstone monoliths;-
I love my life - for I choose life,
And not the cruel sea's endless drifts,

Although I've had my share of strife;-
For me - I never will cave in,
And though this world has troubles rife;-
Pessimism will never win.

Can you hear it? Do you see it? Can you feel it? Do you sense it?
Above the noise, beyond the way, within your soul, around your space?
Ever illusive, in this world’s busy, riotous global-pool of activity,
Silence has faded away.
No more golden, it’s now so rare as to be priceless.
Say nothing; keep still. Invite it into the solace again.
Let it wrap around you - your mind, body and soul -
So that it can soothe you. So that it can repair you. So that it can teach you
The way of Silence.

Life is indeed God’s greatest gift
From one phase to another always we shift
A journey from cradle to grave
Life is moving life is brave
The first sound of a baby is crying
Gradually the world teaches new things to try
Pampered love pouring from all directions
A child starts to think and perform actions
Wearing the identity of a student
For knowledge and growth to schools we are sent
We learn the meaning of water fire sky and air
How to tie a shoelace how to comb one’s hair
In us future professionals are seen
With thickening books it soon flies the sweet age of the teen
We learn to move out of the cities and towns
Our aim becomes to wear degree convocation gowns
With efforts we get grades and good marks
Light of education enters removing all darks
Our horizon continues to expand with time
Management and technology become the field's prime
On completion of our degrees and courses
We join medicine economy technology or security forces
In the global arena the contributions we make
We live for ourselves and for our loved ones’ sake
For belongingness grooming love and care
We enter into a wedding and form a pair
Proving their point soulmates are seen to be hell-bent
There has never any couple without any argument
Still family life is charming warming and sweet
That’s what these elders write talk and tweet
Life has to lift up many more lids
Family expands with the entry of chirpy kids
Never knew parenting was so tough
Bringing up children is no kid stuff
Parenting however makes a lot of sense
Parent-child relation is very deep and dense
Together they stay like a plate and a cup
Bringing up the next generation the way they were brought up
Life is sloping down after reaching its height
Children have settled now life has become quiet
Retired life is knocking the door
Memories become alive more and more
The third generation is ready to land on earth
A continuing wheel is the cycle of birth
Happiness re-appears like the pouring of rain
Grandparenting brings back life luster again
Now comes our ultimate goal
Returning back to the supreme soul
People mourn on the death or demise
It is life’s another stage be wise
One day we enter into a deep sleep
Into the almighty’s lap we take a giant leap
All of us agree in toto
After death we are reduced to a photo
In this existence life is the longest road
Where the last destination is heavenly abode
The soul is above the pleasure pain harmony or world wars
Moves ahead of the Sun Moon planets and stars
Eternal is this fact and really true
Life always aims for a stage new
This is almighty’s greatest boon
A soul migrates and talks re-birth soon
This is the story from cradle to grave
Life is moving life is brave
Beautiful and vibrant is life’s game
Any part of the world the process remains the same
Life is survival and health
Health is our only true wealth
Maintain a decent profile
Keep a healthy lifestyle
If you are free of illness and diseases
Joy multiplies and sorrow decreases
Life becomes glowing sunshine
Fortune and success fall in line
In life never be bitter
Smile and spread some glitter
Life has all the shades of a rainbow
So shall we reap so shall be sow
Disharmony causes tremendous pain
Destruction never brings any gain
It is life’s greatest error
Shunning peace and promoting terror
Life is Maths friends are added
No place for foes they are subtracted
Joys get multiplied by sharing
Sorrows are divided by caring
World progress has climbed new heights
The human ego is however the cause of all fights
All resources can bring in a lot of synergies
Nations are however after weapons and nuclear energy
Life is a thrill life is fun
Shoot with a camera instead of a gun
Plant trees and check growing pollution
Together let’s find an environmental solution
Life is not a gamble or a rolling dice
Promote love make the world a paradise
Almighty has given it as a great prize
Enjoy and live life king-size

Whole life I was repeating an error, the dust was on my face and I was rubbing the mirror.

City, city, bring me bright lights
city, city, bring me filled delights
oh wonders of the country may be fair
and to the fields I do repair
but city, city, bring me your nights

City, city, of a thousand roads
city, city, of a thousand modes
to you I must return
for desolation I must spurn
city, city, of a thousand abodes

Great minds talk about ideas
Average minds talk about events
Small minds talk about people

We all believe that life changes from second to second
and whatever we do cannot be undone, my experience
transformed me to become like a ship in a bottle, the
poem I wrote in 2013. For years I suffered from Diabetes
that terrible night I was ill and taken to the local hospital,
on arrival I was taken to intensive care, I was told my leg
needed amputation, I was naive on this matter so I
reluctantly agreed, a week later the operation took place.
When I awoke and later sent to a recovery ward, I realised
over time my life would change with no actual future, I
reflected on the ship in the bottle, how it was confined
never to sail, I identified this was me now virtually living
in a glass dome with no future ahead of me, was the
operation worth the end result. I was living death, maybe
I should have risked and fought the infection with drugs.
Yes this whole scenario was a game changer. What if the
Surgeon had been mistaken and acted inappropriately,
It seemed too late now committed to being a cripple for
the rest of my natural life, how unfair was this, did I deserve
this future to be. They say life is what you make it. I say
it was a cruel twist of fate, a question only God could
answer, shortly before all this I rediscovered religion and
was looking forward to help people in need of religious
need, this was my redemption, then tragedy struck,
this sickness took control of my life and the ending of
My religious career. I made one fatal mistake I listened to
Doctors with their pills and potions, slowly changing my
life forever. I could not believe this was my future, my
life down the drain, where was God in my moment of
need there seemed no miracles for me and no way
of completing my destiny. My life seemed all over but
the shouting. This left me totally in doubt, now living in
an aged care home pondering where I went wrong.
If I had changed one second of my life this may have all
changed. So many events would change if one second
had been changed in time, Meaning that one second
could be a game changer.
