Inspirational Poems (4,948)

An angel from afar who shines
like a star
I ponder who you are

I see your beauty that shines
like the sun
Your wisdom is spoken with
your tears of joy and pain
they are but, my summer rain.

Though we may be oceans apart I feel your beating heart

To walk in shame or regret
tis' better we learn to let go
and forget

Yet, its your beauty I see and you can't take away that from me.

We can foolishly wear our heart on our sleeve only to find it is not our reality

Beloved in whom I'm well pleased, there is time to change your mind so she said
unto me

As you spend your life in turmoil and strife of seeking
an impossible dream
Look not what is unattainable
but, what is right in front of thee as you drift upon the eternal stream

Seek not what is fleeting that the winds blow in for a season
Everything comes to you for a reason inasmuch as its taken away for it no longer serves you today

Look upon true values within yourself and others, for what and who we hold as true
is a reflection of who we call sister or brother from our point of view

Though you may call me your angel from afar I am just a mere reflection of who you really are

For all who seek the truth of self and the universal law of love
Look high above when you see the dove

Know that I am with thee and by your side there is nothing you can hide

What we think we can keep hidden in the dark
The light eventually shines to offer its truthful spark

To hold your grievances against your sister and brother and whom you call friend is just a temporary idea that will eventually come to an end.

The day shall come when we wipe the tears and do away our fears to let the healing begin and know we are forgiven no matter the sin.

Look for the angel within everyone you meet and you will find yourself in relationships complete

Went to Goodwill
What a thrill!
I usually go out of there empty handed
Feeling like an L on my forehead was branded
But
In the CD section I was browsing hoping for the most
When along came Luther Vandross
A song he did with a woman with hits by the ton
Her name was Janet Jackson
Brother Michael did better with a style came off as sometimes mean
With hits like Ben, Rock With You, and Billie Jean
This song didn't chart very high on the Billboard Charts
But still it is dear to my heart
Let's Wait Awhile, Nasty, Escapade, When I Think Of You were great
This song somehow put me in a state
Of pure joy
How can I explain it
Oh boy
Like Janet says at the beginning of the song
Are you ready?

Buyao weijing I enunciated
or something very similar
had the flavour right I'm sure
which was precisely the point
the waitress grinned
Shi de
Shi de
no MSG please
useful if food additives
turn your Chinese dining experience
into stomach churn
seems a shame
much Oriental food
is plagued by it
Buyao weijing
Buyao weijing
I'll keep practicing
Xiexie ni

Human beings are inherently Social creatures. we like gather
Group,and share in memories and experience, and we find a lot
Of unique ways.so times ways to do so. As times have changed,
Technology advances have exploded into view, and new forms of
Communication were created and we’ve gotten less social in many ways, isolated were created,though connected, digitally tethered but Adift.still, we gether for aot of same reasons,and as ways, insolated were created, and we get older, they all tend to be centered around food and drink, and entertainment ranging from bewfests to concerts, movies to plays, house parties to clubs.
While all of these are amazing ways to connect, to combine with other like-madied and inspired people, they aren’t the only options And sometimes, a subtle shift in how social needs with that leaves us completely breathless?what if we shared memories that were centered not on food and drink, but on drisovery, on awe? What if we opened our eyes just a bit wider and saw so much more together?

A last whiskey with Charles
who despite the body
in the motel pool
hadn't abandoned
a good cigarette
nor a calm gait
and a figurative tale
of the debt collectors demise
foreclosure being but a concept
to Charles
rational to the core
as the sirens
and red and blue flashes
highlighted his receding hairline
we sat back
and basked
in the glory
that consciousness
and rational expression
had conquered another day

We have all heard what we wanted to hear
"Truth" that sounds right to our ears

But what wisdom is there within us
To live based on the feeling of our hearts
How many times has instinct let us down
Never to be thought through
Never to be questioned
Say what you really mean
When your ambition calls you
For what use is there in praying
If you will only hear what you want to hear?

We speak of fighting to resist this world
But what about the battle within us?
If we have chosen to live against the grain
Then why are we all facing the same way?
There is no difference between us and them
If we all blindly seek truth from sentiments

Our Father, who art in heaven! On bended knees
I’m standing before You with modest plea:
Of You it is not reaches, greatness that I request,
Oh I would hate with this to sacred prayer offend...
I wish instead that sky my humble soul enlighten,
And heart with love that emanates from You ignite,
So that for enemies, ev'n if by them I’m stabbed to death,
I’d ask forgiveness for they know not how they err.

Me
I wish I knew who I am
I thought I knew but have no clue
I look into a mirror, and what is it
I see?
A reflection of me!!

Not as others see me,
or so I have been told
for like looking through a
glass darkly, it distorts
not just me, but everything
that's seen
from a different point of view

Until you look upon your face
as others see you true
you'll never really know
the person that is you

No one else can tell you
what they really see
for when I look into
a mirror I see a different me

Tis the same with deeper meanings
so because I am not sure
I will leave what I really
look like at G-d's holy door

For he truly knows me
the good and the bad
whether I am happy
or whether I am sad

He looks upon my features
as the other people do
but he also looks much deeper
and sees inside my soul
he looks beyond the superficial
and can work miracles I know

So I shall leave my face and
heart within his tender hands
and know that everything is
done within a grander plan

that transcends the superficial
this visage others see
I will trust in his love and
guidance for he knows the real me!

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we fall
Life's full of hurdles, and even brick walls
But we grow with experience, through the good and the bad
Look forward with wisdom, not back at what we could have had

When one door closes, it's time to move 'home'
New chapter in your book, whole world to roam
Our days run fast, in the blink of an eye
Make time last well, before we reach the sky

Live in every moment, take in all the air
Be grateful for now, run without a care
For one day we will be aged, looking back when we're grey
To give yourself good memories, you must live for each day

The Wise man feels his imperfections and is humbled. He labors in vain for his own approbation. But the fool peeps into the shadow stream of his own mind and is pleased with the pebbles which he sees at the bottom. He brings them up, display them as pearls, and with the applause of others he delights in himself.
