My Dinner Guest List

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

An interesting and diverse group to invite would include historical figures like Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Mahatma Gandhi, and Leonardo da Vinci, along with contemporary figures like Elon Musk, Yuval Noah Harari, and Barak Obama. My Irish Grandfather would also have to be there!

Such a gathering would provide an opportunity for fascinating discussions and insights from various fields of expertise and time perspectives. Liam

Ode to Love

Poetry: Ode to Love

by Liam

Love is a celestial quest, divine,

Where words, like feathers, gracefully align.

This pen, this ink, this page, my humble tools,

As thoughts take flight, like birds from airy schools.

Within God’s embrace, my words find worth,

They lift with lightness, flying high from Mother Earth.

As air flow lifts their meaning to the skies,

Love’s reflection shines, as sun on eagle’s eyes.

Infinite moments captured in the sands of time,

Poetry, held in this hand, contemplates a rhyme.

Words, like stars, guide us searching on their way,

An astrolabe, for lovers show us where to play.

Here, love expresses this grand design,

As Shakespeare’s quill, too, did weave words sublime.

For in my ode, let lovers’ glow forever swell,

An expression of the truth we have to tell.

Words

Poetry: “Words”

by Liam

Words, words—the vessels we find,

Set them a-sail upon the ocean’s mind.

Fast, they move in search, then ponder,

Thus grows the cargo of my daily wonder.

I row with questions, pulling hard the oar,

Each an idea, which came before.

Whence we come, where will we go,

Who truly knows what life is for?

Awaken, wonders of the world, all seven,

Enabled, I cast my line to heaven.

Where this song’s appeal holds fast,

Joins together with the other world at last.

In amazement of all which lies between,

Heaven’s gate can wait till I’m serene.

Reflections of me, rainbows we are seeing,

In the spray of love thrown from the waves of being.

Smile

Poetry: Smile

by Liam

In our living, called existence, where moments unfold,

Lies a treasure, more precious than gold.

It’s found in my smile, warm and sincere,

Love is expressing, what makes life dear.

Within this simple gesture, a miracle true,

Tumultuous joy, makes life like new.

This power, the light, creates the strength to ignite,

From darkness , Gods given day shines bright.

We carry burdens, also the worries we hold,

Smile it’s simple , they will all gently unfold.

A moment of connectivity, a bridge to the heart,

A smile reminds us of the love we part.

With each smile given, a ripple does ensue,

A wave of kindness, spreads love anew.

From soul to soul, its impact resounds,

Infusing each breath with harmonious sound.

Oh, the beauty of a smile, so pure and serene,

A testament to life, where love is seen.

It awakens our spirits, igniting the flame,

That burns deep within, our passions to claim.

So let us remember, as each passing day leaves,

Be a sunbeam scatter joy like light through the trees

For in this humble act, a miracle does transpire,

Making life worth living, setting our souls on fire.

It was only a smile, freely given to all,

But its radiance transformed, answering the call.

To uplift, to inspire, to brighten the strife,

Embracing the essence, the gift we call life.

Sonnet: I Am

Sonnet: I am the I am

by Liam

In these lockets, find I not my essence,

Nor does my skin reveal its true ident.

For deep in me resides a Soul immense,

Creating who I am with temperament.

These lips, these eyes express not my metaphor.

Yet hidden in the depths, the Spirit dwells.

Unseen, yet powerful, it will endure,

This guiding force within me shall swell.

These hands, these feet, they are not my name,

They serve me but are not my being.

A vessel incomplete, yet not in vain,

My Body hosts the Soul, forever seeing.

My looks, my style do not define my worth,

For I’m a Universal child by birth.

Not constrained by you or others’ say, I

“I am the ‘I am’ in every way.”

My Poetic Manifesto

My Poetic Manifesto:

Liam

As a creative writer, poet, and author, I embrace the responsibility bestowed upon me to inspire my readers. In this dawning era of the new millennium, there is a stirring of consciousness sweeping across humanity. It is a magnificent paradigm shift from self-centered materialism to a soul awareness, igniting a collective awakening to the sacred interconnectedness of all life on our cherished Earth.

Throughout history, the realm of the invisible has been confined to religion, each faith offering diverse depictions of the same spiritual reality .

With my poetic opus, “New Millennium Poetry,” I strive to bridge the gaps that divide us — the barriers of culture, race, and creed. Through my verses, I embark on a quest to explore the shared questions that unite and drive us fellow human beings in our search for meaning and understanding.

Let these verses be a guiding light, illuminating the path to self-realization and kindling the fires of introspection. May my words breathe life into dormant dreams, and may the dance of metaphors ignite the spark of transformation within each reader’s soul. Let the power of poetry be our guide, and let us scribe the symphony of the new millennium together. Liam

Blinded

Poetry: Blinded

by Liam

You believe I am blind to your plight.

Come hither, don’t sleep,

Place yourself behind my sight,

Now see through me, look deep.

What your belief thought was blind,

Instead, is a place of pure delight.

This hidden space, you find,

With which we also see, called insight.

“How?” you ask. I see your charade,

Light fills me from within, and with this truth,

We see not your facade but God,

I see all which blocks you from your youth.

The struggle, the pain, I now see your night,

By closing my eyes, allowing second sight,

Quieten my thoughts, feel what’s true,

Intuitively knowing, I can feel what it’s like to be you.
