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 #290 - "In Spirit"

Relax.
Sit and do nothing.
Stop all the rushing,
And breathe.

Do you seek inspiration?
Draw it in with your breath.
It’s there in the very word:
“In-spire.”
Yet you tire
From so little of this.
Then you fail
To find the bliss
That comes when you do draw it in –
This air that lights the spark within.

So stop.
Breathe in deeply and hold it.
Allow love to enfold it,
And feel the surge –
The sudden urge
To know more …
What’s it all for -
This body that breathes in and out?

Once you sit in the silence
There can be no more doubt:
To love, that is why –
With every breath ‘til you die.
Once this lesson you know
Beyond the breath you will go …
To that state that’s so freeing –
The eternal state of just being.

  1. Today's poem and the free flow of the free verse represent for me the flow of spirit within each of us. Remember to take time to breathe and feel the love as we sit in quiet meditation.

    Adding this one to my list of favorites...

    On to "being the love" in our world today...

  2. A strong reminder to "listen to the quiet".
    Meditate. Be aware of breath.
    Allow what IS...to BE.
