Best Ascend Poems
Ascend to Shakespearean summer sky.
I loved Shakespeare as a girl
When a sonnet was like a melody
And I was not admitting
Impediments to true minds.
Our mark is fixed with the
Demise of one as the only force
Powerful enough to cast our
Corporal union null.
And separation will be Doom each for the other.
If I remain, the grief will raze me and my
Only consolation in not having to hurt you.
If it is I who die, I’ll be with the bluebirds.

I believe the sun will shine vibrantly as always on every living thing, as the earth wakes to its brilliant nourishing life-giving beams.
I believe the grass will remain a shimmering emerald green, soft as nature's carpet beneath my feet as I stroll in sunlit streams.
As I observe, smell, touch and feel all that is about, I know as well that what resides within this vessel emanates from the source.
I believe this energy is in everything and has neither beginning nor end, is beyond measure and eternal.
Within resides a boundless chasm of knowledge, an everlasting, awesome and amazing force.
IN Memory Of Roger Dale Eubanks
Roger
We both know the journey never ends
We spend most of our lives
Trying to fend off anyone who is pretend
Defending our friendship untill the end
You have paved your way my good friend
I know it's never goodbye as you ascend
You put your boots into the wind
I hope your new life with God can start begin
Since you no longer have to sit and spin
I wish you well my never forgotten friend
I'm glad nothing about you was pretend
Your journey may take you away
So I will pray for God
To escort you all the way
Roger
We stayed friends until the end
We understood together we were the right blend
Living our friendship without having to mend
You were way old school
Could often find you playing like nobodies fool
Your friendship was something very cool
Always making us smile
Getting baked going the extra mile
Our good friend until the end
May God go with you into the wind
So you might know we all win
When our life on earth comes to an end
Looking down on us my good friend
With a mighty big grin
As you take it all in
No more pain or frustration
Your in a much better location
Nothing pretend about God who will mend
Your broken limbs when we ascend
ROGER
Our dear friend until the end
You know now that it's not pretend
Rather a brand new life free of sin
Where we can begin to take it all in
No more sickness or broken limbs
Hala -luya you can walk again
Your friends and family have to reason
You will be missed all season
We all love you and will see you again
When we are reunited up around the bend
When it's our turn to ascend
Goodbye, for now, my good friend
You will be missed but never forgotten
My good friend until the end
We both come out of it with a big win
Knowing our friendship I will always defend
We must all keep our Faith and not hesitate
Life in heaven with God will be so great
So don't make him Wait for your next date
My Good Friends nothing has to end
Especially not good friends until the end
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROGER
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY Much
The Hope, Climbing To Ascend
born of earthen soil, clay models of infinite degrees and sky hopes
snowy mountain ledge, peak ringed by white stormy clouds, icy silent breath

So we keep failing
Whilst the children are wailing
The strife, the blight, the pity
Scattered minds in a crowded city
Can't we hear the message?
Can't remember the aim
Drain, drain, drain
Out of Africa
Into South America
Cross the wide sea
No pity, no pity
Dispersed, immersed, submerged
Driven,imprisoned, risen
To what? A bat!
Knowledge denied
Division ensued
With blind faith
We ascend the circle.
Days were I have chains on my ankles,
I moan and groan because I don't have a key.
Today I embraced the work Jesus did on the cross,
and now it makes sense that you can be free.
I remember I used to be like Adam, sitting through services without comprehending a word.
Feeling like the world will never unlock these damn chains,
wishing I could Carpe Diem,
and feel like I'm somewhat sane.
But at night I call out to my savior,
I beg for his friendship, I beg for his love,
I beg for these addictions to become bearable.
Then suddenly I feel affection from above.
This affection was celestial,
so I knew it was from my savior.
I felt like I won a prize,
and today I realize..
That we are his portion,
He is our prize.
If you ask, he can operate in your life,
Because his spirit is surely alive.
He can break chains,
but it's YOUR choice to surrender,
and to conjoint faith&reality,
and to feel the love from the sender.
I know I'm not a preacher,
or anything close to one,
But if I send you an invitation to believe,
I wish you could feel like his daughter or son.
Ascend
Children, do not morn.
Simply pray beyond the clouds.
And soar above woes.

Ascend
An awakening of extraordinary proportion
Such conceptual notions a mental extortion
A eureka moment indeed
Ancients wisdom heed
Four elements ubiquitous
Attention paid solicitous
Air in total empathy with earth, water and fire
Ascend spectacular astral to obtain my desire
First time traveller I’m gullible
Ensconced in soft bubble
Of etheric ectoplasm
Safe from hallow chasm
Led down a deep depression by rambunctious elementals
Full of buffoonery, braggadocio and tough as Rose petals
Wise words now remembered
Elementals can be rendered
To your purpose fully
May yet cajole and bully
Hidden words of Will must vibrate outwardly upon
The Air to offer to He in the great house beyond....

First poem was “At Last”
Awake Arise Ascend
Soul numb, we succumb,
under ego’s thumb,
preferring darkness
to light of oneness.
Let’s get to the root
that we may reboot,
erasing each fear
delusion holds dear.
Stagnation’s the cause,
so we better pause
movement of our thought
in a narrow slot.
It’s by undoing,
heart love songs cooing,
whence ego urge shorn,
we become twice born.
Thought rested stillness
ushers blissfulness ~
light of innocence
soul’s luminescence.

There are times when a feeling of being shunned may occur.
Perhaps an incident had happened where the fault was inferred.
There is a darkness, which lies and waits around every bend.
All their energy is spent on fear and deception, yet I shall ascend.
As a tiny candle in the vast darkness, there is no breeze to extinguish this flame.
As an integral part of this amazing cosmos, this energy will always remain.
I am confident that this force within has no birth, no death, and will never end.
With all the confusion, all the fear and deception, still I shall ascend.
Ascend to the hilltop, when you’re feeling low.
There’s nothing left for you, in the valley below.
The fog is so thick you can cut it with a knife,
Ascend to your purpose, rise above the strife.
Ascend to the sky, leaving behind the ground.
The angels herald you, hear the higher sound.
Raise yourself up and soon you will see,
You’ve been down, up sets your spirit free.
Ascend to higher thought, realize your dreams,
Drift for a while the answers are downstream.
Leave all the walls in the mirror behind,
They are a trap for your soul and mind.
Ascend to the top, there’s nowhere else to go.
Just take the steps, the way starts to show.
After some time upward you shall grow,
Ascend to your calling, any way the wind blows.
Ascend from sadness, let joy in your heart.
Just walk away, before it all falls apart.
The world is destructive; it can rob your soul.
Fly to the heavens, where you can feel whole.
Memories of days splashed with rue,
Misgivings accumulate
Penalties accrue
For when thine judgements of foolhardiness come due
Tis then that you realize that your days here are but few
After touching the bottom rock with the sole of your shoe
Only then
Can you ascend
And set your compass
To true
Form:
See the Ascend result…
Try the stellar mind-thought end,
Picture, she will come descend,
See her coming into view,
Ideal shiela just for you,
From obscurity she can,
Will her on your chosen path,
Attract the moth, 2 own and laugh,
Cos she is out there 2,
Booze just dulls the view,
The seeker finds one sent,
The great unwashed of conscious dew,
Holds the key, releases few,
Does ya comphrende,
Im asking you :}-
Cos ya must keep looking blue,
Till the feather does ascend…
A works of {mind}, not new :}
Don Johnson
High-frequency T.V.'s and Mp3's-
fortune five-hundred execs
getting high on profit specs,
and migratory bird disease.
We live in a time where
teenage single mothers still have sex,
and the majority recieve hourly checks;
we all look on with an empty stare.
Illegal plants but legal drinking;
everyone is worried about what they wear.
They say it's bull, I say it's bear.
Fast-forward movement prevents forward thinking.
Prosperous few in a prosperous nation,
good on top, but better off below.
Destruction kills but also brings re-creation;
makes it easy to see some's inspiration.
High rise towers falling to their knees,
everyone wants, but forgot how to say please.
Tragic flaw pops up to say hello;
cross-examination of moral desecration.
