A Poem is an Interpretation of Life

A poem may help you see more clearly.

It may take you to places you have never been before.

It will create new visions,

That will open new doors within your mind.

A poem may show you other ways of looking at life,

New approaches to dealing with reality,

A new way of living,

And new ways of finding happiness.

A poem may help you look within your inner sanctum,

To see your wisdom within,

Your energy and power,

Your ability to imagine a new life for yourself.

A poem may create a new picture of your life,

A more healthy comprehension of whom you are,

And a clearer vision

Of your desired life.

And you will make that life

More beautiful than you had ever envisioned.

How Will This Book Help You and Me?

What do I want to learn?

And what will anyone else get out of it?

How will this book help me?

How will it help you?

How will it help the universe?

Maybe that’s the goal of this book,

Of this poem,

Of this song.

It is being written to help

You, me and the Universe.

That sounds so simple.

Maybe that’s the way it should be.

Simple!

I like that?

Maybe you’ll like it too.

My Poem Descends Upon Me

When I sit down to write my poem,

I look up within me,

And my poem descends upon me.

The thoughts are there.

The words appear.

I am grateful,

And I wonder.

Who is writing this?

I or God,

Or both of us?

I am grateful to God for this experience.

He comes down.

He takes my hand.

Explains His plan.

I listen and write.

He is pleased.

Each Poem Becomes a Prayer

If I wish,

I can make each poem a prayer.

I am grateful for each poem,

Because it comes down to me

From God.

If I make a poem a conversation with God,

It becomes a prayer.

He speaks to me.

I respond.

What could be more beautiful?

I sit down each day to pray,

To connect with the Source and the Universe.

You too, when you sit down and read,

You can connect,

And may enter into a prayer.

It’s your prayer.

It feels good.

The universe is pleased.

You have become one with it.

And the world smiles down at you.

Blogs and Poems

In my daily posting

Of my thoughts,

The terms,

Blogs and Poems,

Have become synonymous.

After writing my first ten blogs

In a prose format,

Unpredictably,

Blogs took on the format of poetry,

And my blogs became poems forever after.

Since then,

800 daily poems have been written,

Because poetry lends itself better

To the language of love.

It’s the language I embrace in all my poems.

When I write a poem,

I always have the intention

Of expressing my love for the universe.

I wish love to be at the heart

Of each poem I write.

And everything I do.

It Has Become a Poem

I called it a blog,

But now it has become a poem.

It has taken on a spirit all its own

That’s the goal.

.

There’s a cadence

And a beat,

There’s a melody.

And that spirit’s filled with love.

It has become a song

With a heart of its own,

That’s filled with love.

It’s a poem.

It was a blog,

But now it has the energy of a poem,

With a rhythm and a beauty all its own.

It has become a poem.

Book Introduction

Happiness

The Goal of All My Blogs

Happiness

Is the goal of all my blogs,

Of every poem I write.

What more is there?

What goal could be more delightful?

What more could I desire?

Could anything exceed it?

Happiness

That’s what God is.

Here is a beautiful definition of God.

He is Love, Peace and Happiness.

You can never be truly happy

Without love and peace.

Happiness is God,

And is always accompanied with love and peace.

Find One

And you find them all.

The three bring heaven to earth.

The Evolution of a Poem

What a beautiful process this is.

One thought contains the essence of the poem.

In this poem the essence is contained

In the word

Evolution.

As a poem evolves,

It produces a sequence of thoughts,

Each one following upon another,

Each one connected,

Giving deeper meaning to the preceding thought,

Providing further clarity and impact.

That’s the evolution of a poem.

Every poem I write

Involves a stream of thoughts,

That enhance the meaning

Of the essential thought expressed.

A poem evolves.

What is a Poem?

It’s an opportunity to expand on a thought.

It allows us to go deeply into a topic,

Using a sparsity of words.

It’s a search for the truth within a thought.

It often takes us into unacquainted areas,

With unexpected results,

And formidable surprises.

It’s an opportunity to allow a thought to grow and blossom.

Often it takes us down a new path,

One that was unintended,

Just as this poem presently is doing.

The content that is unfolding,

 To our wonder,

Was not intended.

It just appeared.

Where the remainder of this poem will take us,

Is still a mystery, but we’ll tag along,

Knowing we are moving into a new arena,

Full of new ideas,

Perhaps even wisdom.

But we are going to follow the thought that arises.

This poem did not come out of my memory.

It came out of some creative force within,

Whether mine or the universe’s.

But it didn’t just happen.

It evolved from what preceded,

The outcome is before us.

We may be pleased and surprised.
