The Essence

Poetry: The Essence

by Liam

Oh, rose! How your beauty does entreat,

With fragrance wafting on the wind so sweet,

Tis essence that revives our memories,

Of where we braved life’s uncharted seas.

Yet, in your splendor lies a subtle snare,

That captures those who would not take care,

Your thorns beguile the ones impatient,

Who’d seek your beauty without recreant.

So, let us heed the rose’s sage advice,

And take the time to see its thorny vice,

For essence and beguilement both doth teach,

That beauty is not all it seems to reach.

Oh, rose! Your fragrance lingers still,

Teaching us wisdom through your thorny thrill.

About: TRUST & LOVE

Love and trust are related but distinct aspects of a relationship. While both are important for a healthy and fulfilling connection between two people, they involve different emotional and psychological components.

Love generally refers to the deep affection, attraction, and emotional bond that exists between individuals. It is often characterized by strong feelings of attachment, compassion, and intimacy, and can develop for a variety of reasons, such as shared experiences, common interests, or physical attraction.

Trust, on the other hand, refers to the belief or confidence that one person has in another’s reliability, integrity, and honesty. It involves relying on someone to act in your best interests and to follow through on their promises and commitments. Trust can be built over time through consistent behavior and communication, and it is essential for developing a strong, healthy relationship.

While love and trust are not the same thing, they can be closely intertwined. For example, trust can be a key factor in allowing individuals to feel safe and vulnerable enough to develop and express deep feelings of love and affection for each other. Conversely, a breach of trust can erode or even destroy a loving relationship. Ultimately, both love and trust are important for building and maintaining strong, fulfilling relationships, but they involve different emotional and psychological components.

Wilderness

Poetry: The Wilderness

by Liam

You might have lain upon life’s shore

The waves a crashing like the lions maw

In that place of thunder occurred

A voice which speaks,

Without words was heard

A soul, at peace, in wonder free

We dance to the might of an oceanic me

Playing to the roar of our life’s song

Nature, the music which carries us on

It’s in these moments of contemplate

Surrounded by a wildness we activate

We let go, we become free, we unify, we see

The Wave, the beach, the storm and thee.

Entanglement

Poetry: Entanglement

by Liam

Behold the beauty that surrounds us all,

The web of life, invisible to sight,

Where spirits dance and intertwine with might,

Amidst the chaos of our earthly thrall.

Though simple in its nature and design,

This tapestry of emotions untamed,

With passions wild and burning flame,

Binds hearts and souls in a union divine.

And as we revel in this human knot,

We find the answer to life’s mystery,

The truth that’s hidden, yet plain to see,

That love is all that truly matters, not

The wealth or power we may attain,

But rather, how we love and share our pain.

What is spiritual maturity?

liampkennedy@googlemail.com

What is spiritual maturity?

Spiritual maturity is a state of being in which an individual has developed a deep and authentic connection with their inner self and a higher power, whatever that may be. It is a state in which an individual has a strong sense of purpose, meaning, and direction in life, and has developed a sense of inner peace, resilience, and contentment that is not dependent on external circumstances.

Spiritual maturity involves a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of all things and the recognition that all beings are inherently valuable and deserving of love and respect. It also involves a commitment to living in alignment with one’s values, principles, and beliefs, and to making a positive contribution to the world.

Spiritual maturity is a lifelong process of growth and development, and it can be cultivated through practices such as meditation, prayer, reflection, self-exploration, and service to others.

The Face

Transformational Poetry: The Face
by Liam

You awake, in the future that I am about to begin
You have sewn the seeds of my future deeds
Have made the start to heal a heart
Of the life I live within

It’s about that place I mean to go
Can only reach when I grow
Grow beyond my familiarity with me
Discovery
It’s where I’m growing too
It’s how I’m knowing too
It’s another, other side of my face
Where it’s give, share, love and happiness

You awake in the future I’m about to begin
Take my hands
Pull me up, away from the tears, the pain, the rain
Start the new
Begin to trace
Let leave the old
Transform my face.

On the Beach

Poem: On the Beach

by Liam

As I lie here weak not strong,

My head rings clear and full with song,

Of deeds and places friends long gone.

The splash of ripple on the beach.

Warm soft sand within my reach.

Sweet high clouds in a cobalt sky.

Floating on this moment free,

Its you who moves the how in me

Whose reach touches the now in me

We communicate our intimacies,

We communicate our intrinsic feelings.

We communicate the idiosyncrasies of togetherness.

Unknown to those other mortals on the beach.

Each captivated in their own exploratory world of now.

I let the ripples relax and cleanse

Sand washes deep,

This cleans the lens of thoughts, creative and benign.

The simplicity of Profound.

The exact’ty of the boundless found.

The joy is not being held in the identity of me,

I’m experiencing the freedom of the we.

As I lie here weak not strong,

My head rings clear and firm and strong.

The splash, the ripples on the beach

Soft the sand within my reach.

The warmth that holds and sets me free,

The cobalt blue in the sky I see.

Mother

Poem: Mother

by Liam

A bowl of flowers, on the tables wood.

In a pool of sun, the fragrance stood .

Like a watercolour painting which timelessly spins.

Radiant , streaming sweet scent and the stems.

Stamen, petals, blossoms, leaf together tight

The bouquet of color so radiant bright

Held in a crystal, a bowl she did say

A mothers gift, from my mother today.

This care which the colors convey?

Sweet memories fill me with joy each day,

Of daffodils, chrysanthemums, and lilacs too,

Of lilies, red roses, and of you.

Though days have passed, these flowers still bloom,

Their sweet scents beauty dispelling gloom.

Reminders of moments shared when you were near,

Now cherished memories, forever held dear.

And yet, beauty still radiates from within,

Caught in a vase, these flowers remind me of when

Your charm and joy lit up my world,

In every bloom, mothers love unfurled.

Paradise

Poem: Paradise

by Liam

The cherry picked and eaten,

The day so ripe and blue.

Your lips they shine like deep red wine.

I laugh and so do you.

As wild and sweet the berry,

The buzz of bees they sing.

In the air your golden hair,

Shines with the bell that rings.

The fruit the life the loving,

The way our journey spins.

To that place in paradise,

The end where this begins.

The sun it sets so gently,

A warmth that fills the air.

The sky it turns a soft pink hue,

And we know our love is here.

The stars begin to twinkle,

This night, it comes alive.

Wrapped up in each other’s arms,

Is a paradise, for our love will thrive.

Alive

Poetry: Alive

by Liam

The crash of wave on cobbled rock

The seagulls cry, the ring of a clock

Oh! the endless motion of the waves filled tide

The call to life, the need of being free

The scuttling urchin, across the kelp filled sea

I searching find times this, times that

Points towards a matter of fact

Oh! We find alive all what we seek

Smiling, now feeling joy I see

The simple treasure of how to be free.

Analysis: Alive

The poem “Alive” by Liam is a contemplation on the essence of life and freedom. The poem captures the essence of the natural world with its imagery of crashing waves, seagull cries, and the scuttling urchin across the kelp-filled sea. These natural elements serve as a metaphor for the constant motion and need for freedom in life.

The poet reflects on the endless motion of the waves, which symbolizes the relentless pursuit of life and its many challenges. The call to life and the need to be free are recurrent themes throughout the poem, suggesting that life is incomplete without freedom. The image of the scuttling urchin across the kelp-filled sea implies that even the smallest and seemingly insignificant creatures of nature seek freedom.

The second stanza of the poem speaks of the poet’s search for meaning in life, where he finds “times this, times that” pointing towards a “matter of fact.” This implies that the poet has gone through a process of self-discovery, searching for the essence of life and realizing that it is about being free.

The poem concludes with the poet feeling joy and discovering the “simple treasure” of how to be free. The use of the word “treasure” suggests that freedom is valuable and worth pursuing. The poet’s discovery of this “simple treasure” implies that freedom is not something that can be bought or achieved through external means, but rather something that must be discovered from within.

Overall, the poem “Alive” by Liam is a contemplative and reflective piece that emphasizes the importance of freedom in life. The natural imagery used in the poem serves as a metaphor for the pursuit of freedom, which is portrayed as an essential part of life. The poem’s simple language and vivid imagery make it a powerful reminder of the beauty of life and the importance of living it freely.
