Blue

Poetry: Blue

by Liam

A tree, it’s such a grandiose thing,

Swaying majestic in the wind.

The leaves of green, they dance and sing,

This movement of a living thing.

So huge, so vast, so naturally it orchestrates

The way this day symphonically collaborates

The subtle sound which rustles from its limbs

Nature plays it’s concertos so simply this tune rings

Flying too, indeed I might with those clouds

White, skidding high across my view.

Its leafy fingers grasp those shredded shrouds.

All shaking magnificence in the blue.

I wonder, lying on my back,

If I could do this too?

Just what is what and who is who.

Tree, sky, cloud, me and blue.

Language of Nature

Nature Poetry: Language of Nature

by Liam

God, not only speaks,

Through the language of nature,

Also, in the words we whisper to ourselves.

God writes,

Beautiful wisdom across the tapestry of your heart.

These feelings, these impressions wait,

Patiently for our stillness,

For the quiet moments of inner peace and tranquillity,

Sparkling from the reflection of your soul.

It’s bird song,

It’s the flute,

It’s a splashing brook,

Which create the words,

Which sing God’s song.

Listen up, to feel the mystery of this music,

For it’s written across your heart,

A manuscript of love,

A book of joy,

A letter of forgiveness,

Alone for you to read,

Alone for you to discover and share.

Ode to a Dragonfly

Poetry: Ode to the Dragonfly

by Liam

Oh Dragonfly, a creature of enchanting grace,

With wings that shimmer in the sun’s embrace.

When I shift my sight from outward to within,

A world of wonder, a realm unseen, begins.

In kingdoms unseen, here perspectives intertwine,

“Me and myself”, in harmony divine.

With inner eye, I glimpse the start,

In this union, joy ignites my heart.

Amidst the verdant grass, a green blade thrives,

Or mightily like the gnarled oaks lives.

Dragonfly wing, swift and nimble, strikes its prey,

Lark’s melodies echo across each day.

It’s after our earthly sojourn is complete,

Do we dissipate, untangle, and retreat.

But while we live, let us truly see,

The wonders around us, oh, God in me.

In Praise of Nature

Poetry: In Praise of Nature

by Liam

Alone, I walked, a drifting cloud; in blue, the sky was me.

A heart that sung a poet’s verse, with nature’s honesty.

Meander through the valley green, the brook did sprightly flow,

To a lark’s rejoice, I turned my head, to find the way to go.

That golden orb did smiling shine upon my steady tread,

The wind whisper’s mystery, left footprints in my head.

Upon a lake in turquoise, I stumble, as by chance,

Find I the world is crocus, all across my glance.

Those purple petals flutter in a sea before me spread,

Within each, a piece of gold, the stamen’s tiny head.

So with these words, I wonder, with nature’s treasured game,

About the world, I send this praise, all in God’s very name.

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.

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.

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.

Flower Garden

Poetry: Flower Garden

by Liam

There, growing in my garden

In colors they did play

All the flowers that we love

From one I heard it say.

“Pick me if you like me

Take me on you way.

Share me with another

Make them a happy day.”

But

“Should you truly love me,

Leave these buds to grow.

For here we are in the hand of God

This you surely know.”

Dissolve

Poetry: Dissolve

by Liam

As salty crystal dissolves in sea

So it’s Love, which dissolves in me

Within my heart, heaven shines light

Appears a star

Which share’s the insight

Between the cosmos and the deep blue sea

Existence, is this call in me

To be true to all

To be true to life

To be in love

To let go of strife.

Windy Day

Poem: A Windy Day

by Liam

Wind takes my hand, tugs your hair

Wave sprays the beach in salty air

The heaving pebbled stone they rake

They rumble with the tumble beat and break

Will you take my sight?

This sun filled joyous day

Light throws threads across a tear blue sky,

White ripped wisps the passing clouds they fly.

It’s all white

It’s all blue

It’s all a game

We know and play

We laugh and say,

“I love the way you spin in air.”

the sun shine blinks,

the gold still molten in your hair.

We hold the day,

My sand whipped hand

In yours,

You turn and say,

“Catch me, catch me if you can.”

A windy walk

A windy laugh

A windy day

A windy way
