World Poetry Day

Day 21 March

A decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during UNESCO’s 30th session held in Paris in 1999.

One of the main objectives of the Day is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard within their communities.

The observance of World Poetry Day is also meant to encourage a return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals, to promote the teaching of poetry, to restore a dialogue between poetry and the other arts such as theatre, dance, music and painting, and to support small publishers and create an attractive image of poetry in the media, so that the art of poetry will no longer be considered an outdated form of art, but one which enables society as a whole to regain and assert its identity.

Poetry: Who are We?

Poetry: Who are we?

by Liam

In the silence,

There where the light breaks out

From within my being

The universe of your listening

Perceives

Not a whisper but the roar

Of the whisperer

Reverberate across the universe

Let this be the art of your understanding

For silence speaks from himself

The listener hears within herself

Each in life’s short breath

Planting the deeds of love

Each and every way.

Poetry: Who is the author?

Poetry: Who is the Author?

by Liam

Life is a pen in hand

Writing me across the pages of today

Giving me the opportunity to question

Not only the author but also the plot

The moments of recognition and inspiration

Where my context is set against my content

Should I laugh or cry?

Should I live or die?

Rough the winds which blow my way

Or could I ride the gusts

Which thrust against me, stay

In quiet peace

A place to write the script

With which to create the way.

Poetry: The Other

Poetry: The Other

by Liam

We have always known one the other

Out there beyond tomorrow

Way before yesterday’s sunset

We attract like the waxing and waining of the moon

Each a part in the same dynamic

Dancing laughing joyful partners in this world

Love thirsty drinking life

Hungry, eating from the full table of today

One of subtle substance together

We simply vibrate on the same frequencies

Everything within you, without much touch it’s

Magical too.

Poetry: The Music of Noise

Poetry: The Music of Noise

by Liam

“The quieter you become the more you are able to hear.” Rumi

Before making quietude my practice

Before the sweetness of silence caressed my ears

Before stillness graced the kitchen table

Noise noise noise

Swept around my hearing all the day

While the music remained unheard

Pour that quality invisible, sweet and rich

Into your listening, your life, your love

Hear the whisperer

Hear the heart sweetener

Hear the music deepener

By making quietude, my practice

By the sweetness, of silence which caress my ears

By stillness, graced upon the kitchen table.

Poetry: The Teacher

Poetry: The Teacher

by Liam

I have been a teacher

I still am but it’s not you I’ve taught

It’s not even those children

Whose sight is on a future

We cannot yet see

The teachings come to my understanding

The lessons learnt come from my heart

This beautiful subject is Life itself

Where the master is radiant rich graciously

Enfolding within me, the wisdom that Change

Is the way of becoming ever closer to our magnificence.

Poetry: Beauty

Poetry: Beauty

by Liam

Always succumb to the power of your beauty

It will lift your insights

From the mundane to the multiplicity of experience

Take you from the simple to the ecstatic

Beauty is inherent

Beauty is intrinsic

Beauty is ingrained

Pulsing willfully just beneath the thin skin of your awakening

Poetry: Of no Matter

Poetry: Of no Matter

by Liam

My eloquence is of no matter

Words, letters, poetry will come green in spring,

Will sing, then fall again from the tree

What’s in you matters, not in these

Scratches which quaver wet across a page

It’s in thee, which these words profound have found

Awaken the experience of universality

Cloak this gratitude fain about thee

For it will feed thy life

You create, free the humble day from strife.

Poetry: Sight

Poetry: Sight

by Liam

Everything and everyday we observe

We look and see the shapes the flowers, colors

So now I’ll close my eyes

Cut out the light

Yet let my one hidden eye behold the bright

This inner eye is about the true

This light is about insight

Irrespective of in or out

Dark or bright, just love sight

Enable Love to overwhelm everything and anything you see

For joy happiness and peace are it’s reward

It’s there, it’s here, it’s you, it’s me

by

Poetry: Go!

Poetry: Go!

by Liam

When you see beauty, then feel it with your tears

When you hear music and experience pure joy in your heart

When you dance, sparks flying from your fingernails

This beautiful

This exquisite

This lovely

Is in you

Is with you

Is the part of you which is the universe

Ecstatic in the revelation of itself

Moving in the motion of its magnificence

Expressing energetic love in the recognition of its own awakening

Go, go, go,

It’s yours anyway!
