Poetry: The Chaff
by Liam
Mingle friends each with the other
Share the joy of day sweetening life
With a smile with a laugh
We undo the knot of insecurity binding us to the uncertainties
Only God infinity knows
Where when why we
Step forward into the light of the other life
Eternity is simply this
Momentary ripple in the wind
Captured as we throw or lives like chaff leaving the seed
One falling one flying
One begins one ends
Each day
Poetry: Enough
My primary, initial and most valuable relationship
Is neither you, nor them or the other
This love affair is invisible, quiet and immersive
It’s my responsibility to care, love and support myself
It’s the whisperer of encouragement in moments of doubt
It’s the shine of a smile after
we have danced about
It’s the warm recognition
Both me and me are enough
Enough to fill the day with warm well done
Enough to laugh in the shining
sun
Enough to know this foundation is a fountain of who
Else can grow and learn this too.
Poetry: My Perception
by Liam
Each day sends me a teacher
My eyes, that seeing is not all sight
My words, that talking could contribute to understanding
My deeds, that doing aught be helping
Perception, is also communication
With the Devine
Where life, manifold and rich
Shares its mystery with my depth of awareness
It’s in the quietude of silence though
In the stillness of peace
I lose the self within the ocean
Afloat, a swimming in me
I becomes the drop you see
I become the wet you touch
I think these thoughts of you so much.
I’ve looked for Love since forever
These pieces, each a part of the me
Found in a puzzle called life
Leading back to the whole picture of Love
Hidden for all to find
Written for all to read
Spoken for all to hear
What need I forsake to take this home with me?
My eyes
My thoughts
My hearing
Let me cast them over the cliff of understanding
Let me hurl my inhibitions into a pit of passion
Embracing a heart burning like the center of the sun
Humble like dew caressing a blossom
At peace with moments I know
Take my hand and come, just flow.
Poetry: The Dialog
by Liam
The Teacher spoke,“You friend, are infinitely more than you think.”
Yet, said I,”This dust filled day leaves me parched.”
“ Drink not with your sight, refresh you thoughts in a quiet conversation with God.”
So closing my eyes, my mind was quickened by the fountainhead.
“The dust of today, brings the dew of a new morning.”
Thinking about it, I smile realizing how simple it is to go from despair to joy. This new thought creating a new emotion.
Poetry: The Apparel of Words
by Liam
Words are never ever wasted
They come from that invisible sea
From which those thirsty drink
Who on the journey become parched for wisdom
Words which are the apparel of thoughts
Thoughts which are the substance of God
Giving me meaning
Enabling me to recognize universally
The interconnectedness we experience
While on the way home
On the back to where we were Before being born.
Poetry: Death will Remove
by Liam
Death, true death will remove
All you’ve gathered, gleaned and gained
This time of life is to plant
Your affection, care and love
For its a willing thing which seeks even the most barren soul
To fertilize and grow sound
Give away what is superfluous in your house
Hand out the things which bring another relief
Care also for all the joy you have sown
The harvest is rich and will lift your soul on bright wings
As you fly
Leave this life
Soar to God on high, die.
Poetry: God Forbid
by Liam
Let God forbid
This heart should find another home
How could it be then,
other than all alone
For hesitation turned my eyes from love
A stream with flowers high above
Calling crying sighing
Till in recognition of the new
Heavens poetry like fresh wind blew the branches
Gentle sweet and long
Returning me to Gods roots
The buds, the green leaf shoots
Building a home, a heart, my place to start
Again, in flow to follow Love to grow .
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?
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.
