About the Poetry

All of the poems in this blog are spirit-inspired. Every word came to me each day for a full year while in deep meditation. I simply wrote what I heard onto a pad of paper in my lap with eyes closed – meaningful, multi-stanza verses in mere minutes. I was unaware of each poem’s theme until I transcribed it later word for word. Each day brought new and wondrous discoveries about the world beyond our five physical senses, incredible wisdom, and messages of hope which I share with you in this blog. The last poems received are displayed below on this page, but the entire collection of 365+ poems are archived here in the left-hand column. You can search by topic or keyword using the search box in the upper left corner. May you find among them just the right message which speaks to your heart.

Poem #142 - Beyond This Life

Beyond the greatest of your hopes
There lies yet even more.
So much it does await you
When you cross through Heaven’s door.

A world of life and wonders
Greater than you’ve ever seen.
It’s a world that’s even greater
Than your most cherished dream.

It makes your world seem paltry.
Even all your finest wonders.
It’s a place where thoughts make magic
With the love so strong it thunders.

You need not strive to get there
For all this way will pass.
When the body does not serve you
Then will clear the window’s glass.

And all your work will then make sense
And every earthly test
But think not that when you pass this way
That then you will find rest.

No, though its beauty exceeds all
You do not sit and slumber.
There’s work to do beyond the veil
And tasks not few in number.

But these you’ll do with no complaint
For all work it has a reason.
It’s for the growth of spirit,
Which goes on like every season.

A never ending cycle
Is your life in God’s great sphere.
For life goes on eternally.
You grow both there and here.

So hurry not this world to reach
Although it calls your name.
You’re spirit now with body’s form
And spirit you’ll remain.

    The essence of "who we are"...the spirit... lives on eternally. Truly a beautiful message of hope today. I sense a calm about life here and hereafter and a continuity of the cycle. Our work here on earth is important, but no need to rush because we will continue our growth in the world beyond as well. A message for us to remember in this holiday season when we all rush around to complete mundane tasks.

    I sense the message of "oneness" again in the line, "For all this way will pass." That, too, makes my heart smile today...

    My favorite lines? "It's a place where thoughts make magic with the love so strong it thunders." Quite powerful images here.

    On to living our lives in love today with the knowledge that life goes on eternally...

    How beautifully stated on what life is like with no form or body. And so it seems that our work is never done whether we are on earth or in heaven. Our "spirit" continues to grow in strength, like a burning fire in the wind...
