BEAUTY (thought provoking poem)

BEAUTY

How does a person know what beauty is

Is it the way we dress

Our make up

Our hair

Or just the way we see each other

Beauty comes in many disguises

Wearing masks

Costumes

Veils

Camouflages

But our wolves

Never come in costumes

Veils

Disguises

They are for real

Actual

Physically

Factual

Tangible

Existent

There is nothing unreal

They are so surreal

Without being

Strange

Weird

Odd

Or dreamlike

They are fantastic

Nothing bizarre

Or ordinary about them

Just take one long good look

What are you seeing?

What do you see?

A mysterious being

Unfathomable being

Enigmatic being

Or just a wondrous Wolf

In his own coat

No fake

No false identity

Just purely and simply

A beauty out in the open

How can we compare his beauty with all that surrounds us?

There is no comparison

He is the light that shines forth

Onwards

Forwards

And beyond

This realm of Mother Earth

ALL OVER THE PLACE

ALL OVER THE PLACE

Shoving and pushing

Jostling for space

The left

The right

The up

And down

This way

That way

Which way to go

Like being blindfolded

Not seeing where to go

Which way to go

No direction

No course

No route

No focus in life

Stumbling

Tripping

Wandering

Like a nomad in the deserts sands

Drifting

Rootless

Meandering along

Twisting this way and that way

No plan of action

No course been plotted

Walking around on a roundabout

Which exit?

Which door?

To walk through

Stagnant

Sluggish

Stuck in the mud

Crazy, crazy

Situation

Position to be in

This attitude must change

Change the view

This point of view

The standpoint

This mindset

The blindfolds

The blinkers

The binders

That is holding me back

Get out of this fast lane

And try again

WALKING IN HEAVENLY PEACE (Thoughtful Poem) New Poem

WALKING IN HEAVENLY PEACE

Walking in heavenly peace

Where there is no more

Fighting, jibing or violating

A child should be able to walk and talk

With confidence, and head held up high

Not walk with a head bowed down

Holding a frown

Scared of walking into the playground

A fear of being downed

Walking in heavenly peace

Walk in heavenly peace

Not being victimized, vilified

Oh such a bliss when it happens

This walking in heavenly peace

To walk with confidence and happiness

In the greater outer world

And their inner world

Walk, talk with glee

Walk, talk

Walk with their heads held high

As if floating on angel wings

Walking in heavenly peace

That no child should live in fear

And be able to shed their tears

Let each and every child know that they are loved

A hug, a cuddle, an embrace

The greatest of joy on their loving face

Walking in heavenly peace

That no child be abused

Physically or mentally

That each and every parent be known

That each and every child is heaven sent

That they are a blessing and not in disguise

Walking in heavenly peace

That no child should go hungry

That no child should live in fear

Of terrorism, bombs and guns

Let our children live, live

And walk in heavenly peace
