Word For The Day…

When forgiveness is your path, and love is your reason for being alive at all, and awakening is burning in your heart, then gratitude is never far away.

Kiss Of Enlightenment – Freestyle Poem
Jilly’s 28 Days Of Unreason Poetry – Day 10
Write a poem inspired by this quote:
“Just beyond the bruised lips of consciousness” – Jim Harrison –
from Birds Again
To once have been asleep
in the world of self-consciousness
where self only sees itself
in the shadow of valley’s weep
Until one day a Force of Greatness
comes along and awakens the self
to everything beyond itself to see
that there is more than just the “me”
A rude awakening so amazing
when Light dawns upon the consciousness
and the soul rises from its coma
into an abundant life-filled gazing
To see, to know, to care, to love
the world going on outside
to understand it must ascend
and with Truth collide
Because Light came into the darkness
to bruise the lips of the soul
with a kiss of enlightenment
into a higher consciousness foretold

Bare Pages, Bare Heart – Prose Poem
Weekend Writing Prompt #36 – Begin
Word Prompt – Begin
Photo Prompt:
As I stare at the bare pages in front of me
I take a deep breath and be still in the moment
with pen in hand I speak the truth from within
the soul must have its voice or suffocate in silence
bringing death to the spirit without a purpose to ignite
In the mist of inspiration whispers are composed
awakening a brilliant artistry to behold
touching the heart of the one who reads the utterances
With the power of the pen and an inner sigh is how I begin
to tell the spiritual journey’s lore of wisdom gained through pain
not with a New Year’s resolution that will remain unkept
instead with a choice each day to release the words unwept
Therefore, there are no expectations to disappoint
only desires that are fulfilled beyond imagination’s point
As I stare at the bare pages before me…
to scribe this poet’s heart for all to see.
Eternal Life’s Bouquet
More cleansing of the scabs
that can blind the spiritual eye
another awakening to the Truth
that will always defy the enemy’s lie
Freedom from the demons within
a Precious Light chasing away the darkness
cleansing out the darkened sin
leaving the soul tranquil in righteousness
There is no better way for the soul to grow
then to surrender fully to The Way
filled with truth that will always show
the glory of Eternal Life’s bouquet
This the gift from God
to a soul so beautifully flawed!
