just random poetry

The first time we met,
I knew I had a friend.
The thing I did not know is
that I would want to
love you until the very end.
Your precious love
has turned my life completely around,
I feel like I'm walking,
but my feet don't seem to touch the ground.
Sometimes you seem to be
my shinning light
guiding me through the long, dark night.
As I lie alone in bed
thinking of you and yet
I wonder if you think of me too
as one more night slowly drags by.
I wish I were there with you,
kissing your sweet lips
under the pale moon light,
and holding you, so very tight.
You really are the woman of my dreams
and I can't wait to be with you,
for the rest of my life.
I know our time away seems like an eternity,
but I'll wait forever to be in your life.
I love you,
I need you,
I want you,
and I will for all my life.

thankful

Today, I am thankful to be alive.
Thankful that I have four silly animals
That love me unconditionally...
Today I am thankful
That I am not paralyzed
Though I am paralyzed emotionally still in some ways
I am grateful it is no longer a physical issue...
Today I am thankful
That I have learned once again
To remain strong when people
Around me try to hurt me with hate
Jealousy and anger
I no longer let them
Paralyze me with fear
Or paralyze me with sadness
Instead
I mute them out with my ears
And just walk on by
Though in there eyes I am being selfish
But in my heart I am being strong
By keeping positive thoughts in mind
Today I am thankful
That the goddess has sent me here on this land
Not only to learn new things
And remember things from my past
But to teach others the ways of the old
And to have them remember the one important thing
That the only person we need to be true to is ourselves
Friends come and go
Family eventually passes on
Lovers don't always remain faithful
And don't always stay with us forever
As temptation and lust usually always
Take them away
If the trust itself hasn't been already broken
Today I am thankful
That my life has changed
I have met new people
Learned new things
Become more spiritual
And have achieved some
Impossible dreams
Today I will set new goals for myself
And once again
Try to achieve the impossible
So today I am thankful
To just be living
And to simply be me

woman of her own words

As i stand upon these tall rocks
along the shore of the sea
I stretch my arms like wings
and let the wind come beneath my feet
i take pride as i gaze up into the sun
and see the beauty of its light
I love how the rays of light
touch the water of this giant mysterious sea
thank you god for letting the spirit of the earth
be apart of my whole world
for i love it so
and thank you for giving me
the strength and wisdom
to live my life the way i should
i relise i am not like many other people
for this is a unique gift
i may not be smart at everything
but i am wise
i may not appear to be as old as my words
but let that knowledge and wisdom I speak
that i love and care for
become stronger and wiser
when people need guidance
i may not be as beautiful as the moon and stars
in the night sky
but i am beautiful in my own special way
ether through my words
wisdom
strength
knowladge
or just the way i am
i am my own unique person
and that shall never change
even as i grow old
but i do not wish to be rememberd for being a writer
or an artist
i do not wish to be rememberd for my beauty
or my health
i want to be remembered as a woman of her own words
nothing less & nothing more....

Oneness

Spring turns into Summer
Summer into Fall
Fall Into Winter
And Winter Into Spring.
And So is the way of life.
Things Are Always Changing
It's up to us to accept them
Whatever they are
And go with the flow
Because with change comes
Knowledge
Pain
Sorrow
Wisdom
Fights that we've won
Battles we've lost
For with each change that comes
We ourselves grow
So accept change
Know matter what fears you may have
Because friends come and go
Are family ushally parts ways
We need to allow ourselves to be
Both teachers and studants
When we can be both of these things
We go far beyond
What we poosibly think
We can accomplish in our lives
So accept change
And be one with yourself
Do what is best for you
And feel the oneness
Withen yourself
With a special friend
With nature
Be one with the oneness
Once again
And you will see
What the oneness can do for you....

Off With The Old.. In With The New...

Today is the start of a new begining

its time to renew my soul

and start my life in a new postive direction

I'm giveing up this pointless job

and leaving this family

that ovbiously doesnt care

or

try to understand me

Off With the old in with the new

at least when i start my life again

i will have someone who loves me for me

my circle of friends will become more my family

and i can always count on those

who have been there for me from the very start...

I'm getting rid of anything that reminds me

of sorrow and pain

and keeping those few things

that mean the world to me....

Thats all I can ask for

nothing less nothing more...

Surrender....

Today Dear Lord

I am going to walk onto the war zone

Up to the top of these hills whare the battle is

And surrender....

My life in short

Has been like a roller coaster...

Has many hillsTwists & Turns....

Gone in many circles...

But today I am Surrendering...

I'm putting down my sword

Throwing down my shield

My heart has been shattered

Like glass

Thrown and shatterd

Into millions of little pieces

I do not know how long I can go on

With this battle of mine...

I'm in need of some real honisty

A Loyal Friend

Someone I can give my heart to

And not watch it be broken again....

So I'm surrendering my heart to you

Find me someone I can trust

Love

Surrender my heart too

Someone who will protect me

Love me for who I am

And be careful of this heart of mine....

But until that dayI need you to take care of this heart of mine

So I can be once again

The warrior I am meant to be.....

Last Pedal

Perfect as a rose pedal
Watch as it endures
The blooms fight for their life
As they are surrounded by knives
For what they know best
Is the blossom of their hearts
They live in the moment they open
Hopes to achieve, reside in their minds
Pedals come and pedals go
Stop to watch as they appear
Appreciate the colors and smells
Learn from them while they are here
For they will disappear
No more chances do they get
They cannot be forgiven
For they must open and if they don't
It is the end
Some will arise to the occasion
They are beautiful in every way
Every chance they get
To send sweet aroma in the air
To fill the days with colors so fair
But the life is short
Because they opened, they must fall
The fall to death
Conscious of the life they lived
Are they successful or
Do they suffer in agony
as the last pedal falls

Angel Of Fire

Angel Of Fire

I See You Walking To Me

In That Long Silk White Dress

Your Dark Hair Dancing In The Wind

The Flames Around You

Seem To Shine Through Your Hair

You've Come Into My Life

With What To Gain?

I Can Give You My Heart

I Can Give You Unconditional Love

Be Forever A Loyal Friend

&

Protect You

&

Respect The Beautiful Goddess That You Are

But I Know You Don't Expect Much In Return

So I'm Offering You

My Heart

My Soul

I Love You

&

I Promise You This

I Will Walk Beside You

On This Long Road Ahead

Side By Side

Wharever This Path May Take Us

Tell The Very End Of Time..

Praise of the Goddess

I send out words in praise of the Goddess
I send out words in praise of the Goddess,
from whom all worlds flow.
Mystery of mysteries, this continual creation,
like a fountain forever bubbling up from the Earth's darkness,
she is a cup that is never empty.
Generous One, eternally giving gifts,
I pray to you, I praise you,
I remember you throughout my day.

For My Friends! :)

Today… I need a little lift
Today… I need to shed some tears
Today… I need a little encouragement
To remind myself the friends I do have in my life
Do indeed love me just the way I am…
Today… I need to remind those people in my life
That I do love just how much they mean to me..
Today… I am telling you this I Love You….
You Mean The World To Me…
I value our friendship
I value our special bond we’ve come to have
I value the fact that you and I can tell each other anything
And we tell each other like it is.
I Value the fact that you and I are similar in so many ways
But our differences seem to only help us become strong and wise…
So I’m letting you know I’m going to be your friend for life.
Whether we are near or far apart.
I will always be there for you
Wherever this path may take us.
I’m going to honor each moment we share.
And I hope this bond we share will only deepen the more I get to know you…
But I just thought I’d tell you in these small words
How much you really do mean to me….

Like Sun

Like Sun I watched the sun with its wings of gold
paint the tops of the drying hills
so that every grass was left in an orangy hue.
I knew then what it was to pull out from within
the will to create, for once to listen to the shouting
of myself telling me to paint my life red,
no longer hesitating to take that sudden stroke
and make my world like sun.

Tapping Into Courage

Tapping into Courage

Many of us, maybe especially we women, are conditioned by society and other forces perhaps, to be a certain way. There are specific acceptable ways within our families and communities that we are supposed to behave. We may not even think of these specific expectations consciously, but we know the rules, and most of us, at least publicly, play by them. One of my heroes is Henry David Thoreau (born 1817- died 1862). Thoreau always seemed to march to his own drummer, no matter how wildly unpopular he was. Most of us are frightened to death of being unpopular, maybe because we often interpret unpopular as unworthy and unlovable.Thoreau was jailed in the 1840s after refusing to pay taxes because he would not abide by the government's Indian Removal Act. "His observations were based not on some philosophy he had read or heard, but on his own direct experience of feeling the outrage of conformity, and seeing the horrors of how Native Americans were being treated by the white man. He knew that the popular practice of removing Indians from their lands was our very own Holocaust." (Wisdom of the Ages: 60 Days to Enlightenment by Dr. W. Dyer, 113)It is said that Ralph Waldo Emerson, a great friend of Thoreau's, went to visit him in jail. Emerson asked Thoreau, "What are you doing in there?" Thoreau retorted "More importantly, what are you doing OUT THERE?" Thoreau was challenging his friend to be more courageous and to stand up for what he knew to be right. In today's vernacular, Thoreau might tell Emerson to "grow a pair!"In the movie Annie Hall, the character Annie ponders how she would stand up against the Nazis. Woody's character laughed and said "Are you kidding? They would take your credit cards and you'd cave." How do we as a society and individuals stand up to support others? I humbly challenge all of you

(especially myself) to do at least one courageous and loving thing that you know you must do.

Love and Courage To All of You!

Quotes For Today!

Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind wiht grief, regret, and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.--Swami Sivananda




Understanding can come only at the appropriate time, and no one can say when. All that can be said is that the understanding cannot come so long as there is expectation, so long as there is a "me" wanting it.
Balsekar


It is a common characteristic of human nature that a man sees the faults of others more easily than he sees his own. At the same time on the path of self-study he learns that he himself possesses all the faults that he finds in others. In order to see himself in other people's faults and not merely to see the faults of others, a man must be very sincere with himself.
G. Gurdjieff

It is best if you stay in your intuition - if you rely on what you feel and, even though it may not make logical sense, operate with trust. Impatience is a trap for many of you because you feel you need to move somewhere.
Barbara Marciniak



" A Mother is neither cocky nor proud, because she knows the high school principal may call at any minute to report that her child has just driven a motorcycle through the gymnasium."
Mary Kay Blakely"


I'll not listen to reason.... reason always means what someone else has got to say."
Elizabeth Gaskell


If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.

The real power behind whatever success I have now was something I found within myself - something that's in all of us, I think, a little piece of God just waiting to be discovered.
Tina Turner

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

Imagination is more important than knowledge...

Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends.
Czech Proverb

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Dale Carnegie

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
Maya Angelou

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
John Lennon

My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
Oprah Winfrey

Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.--Og Mandino

These Yet To Be United States

These Yet To Be United States

Tremors of your network cause kings to disappear.
Your open mouth in angermakes nations bow in fear.
Your bombs can change the seasons, obliterate the spring.
What more do you long for ? Why are you suffering ?

You control the human lives in Rome and Timbuktu.
Lonely nomads wandering owe Telstar to you.

Seas shift at your bidding, your mushrooms fill the sky.
Why are you unhappy ? Why do your children cry ?

They kneel alone in terror with dread in every glance.
Their nights ["rights" ? - Schrift nicht lesbar] are threatened daily
by a grim inheritance.

You dwell in whitened castles with deep and poisoned moats
and cannot hear the curses which fill your children's throats.

by Maya Angelou

A Poem By. Helen Steiner Rice

How often we wish for another chance
to make a fresh beginning.
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning.
It does not take a new day
To make a brand new start,
It only takes a deep desire
To try with all our heart.
To live a little better
And to always be forgiving
And to add a little sunshine
To the world in which we're living.
So never give up in despair
And think that you are through,
For there's always a tomorrow
And the hope of starting new.

A Poem By. Helen Steiner Rice

This Life....

I am not here in this life to prove
That I am rich or poor
I am not here in this life
To play games with foolish people
Who think there better than thou..
I am not on this planet to be
Judged nor be judged.
I am here to be both a studant & teacher.
To love and be loved.
Be the shining light that others seek
When they need to get through the darkness
And need a partner in there life
To get through the darkness
And shine into the light of eternal life....

The Ten ( NEW) Commandments!

The Ten (New) Commandments!
1- Thou shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
2- Thou shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.
3- Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this.
4- Thou shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time anyway.
5- Thou shall not take problems to bed with you, for they make very poor bedfellows.
6- Thou shall not borrow other people's problems. They can better care for them than you can.
7- Thou shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life and be happy now!
8- Thou shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It is hard to learn something new when you are talking, and some people do know more about certain things than you do.
9- Thou shall not become "bogged down" by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive action.
10- Thou shall count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to big ones.

Strong & Wise

tis time for me to make a new change.
change myself for the better
I've decided in order to make myself a better person
i need to be a mentor to others
be a positive person and motivate others to be strong when they are week
i've decided to be a inspiration
and use my story of strength to help others become stronger themselves
that is my goal now
and i shall do that in my writing, speach, and even in my music
and i pray that these words from my story will inspire others
so now the story begins
i must continue to be strong and wise....

Eyes

When eyes talk, no word is spoken
Yet the heart understands
The whisper of silent glances
When eyes talk, no sonnet is written
Yet the mind can read the invisable poem
Scripted with tender care
When eyes talk, no music plays
Yet the body orchastrates to a symphony of passion
When eyes talk, no dance is stepped
Yet emotions swing to the soften beat of desire
When eyes talk, no others hear
Yet the message is audible to the one whose eyes were intended
When eyes talk, magic fills the air
For within a look, a world unfolds
To quieten hopes and dreams
Only those with secret wishes
Can understand the language
When eyes talk, and hearts listen
