Best Awakened Poems
This battle brews inside me
The pain I feel in my heart ripping it apart
And my soul who wants to be redeemed
The movement of my pen beats in my chest
In my veins my words flow like the rage of rivers in storm
I’m caught in these lyrics that Awaken my soul
That cry out for eternity
Yet my heart is trodden
at times I swear it is not beating
Our hearts rose up like kindred knights ready to defend our land
but the soul was fulfilling its destiny
it would not be beaten, no matter…
it had awakened to truth
but our hearts knew only torment
and could not understand
all that was happening,
that God had a plan
so my pain exposes itself
in my thoughts manifesting to script
as it beats in my chest with a rhythmic pulse
that brings me to my knees
We had no time to prepare
Only to fight
Flailing around Hope
With all of our might
as if it were the weapon that would save us from our enemy
for that’s all we had was our sword of Hope
This battle we were not prepared for.
Like a sneak attack, it caught us in slumber
when the army of death ascended upon our world
my heart said I love you
you are my universe and life has no meaning without you
I will fight till my shallow breath abates
Till your soul takes the last blow...
And I did!
We Did!
We did not surrender
We had no chance
Our hearts fought a losing battle
My awakened soul shouts out with acceptance…
“you will one day know the reason, but not now”
For this is your time to experience
what was lovingly bestowed upon you from our God,
who knows what we need
So now I write from my pain… It helps me to cope…
It is the sword I carry…
My only Hope
Kissed by the passing breeze of awakening
Nature's secrets unfold in whispered delight
As dawn golden fingers caress the slumbering earth.
Misty tendrils dance upon the meadows
Invisible threads spun by the gentle wind
Caressing petals still heavy with dew
As they awaken to the touch of morning yawn.
Leaves rustle in the symphony of awakening
Whispering tales of ancient wisdom to the curious soul
The fragrance of blossoms kissed by the passing breeze
Fills the air with a sweet intoxication
A symphony of scents that ignite the senses.
Birds chirp their morning greetings
Their melodies harmonize with the gentle rustle of leaves
Creating a chorus of nature that awakens the slumbering world
The sun's golden rays break through the horizon
Painting the sky with hues of pink and gold
As if nature herself is blushing with delight.
In this moment of awakening
The world is reborn
A canvas waiting to be painted anew,
With the vibrant colors of life and possibility.
And as the day unfolds, nature's secrets are unveiled
In every petal, every leaf, and every blade of grass
Whispered in the wind and sung by the birds
Nature's wisdom is revealed to those who listen.
So let us pause
Let us breathe
And let the passing breeze of awakening
Kiss our souls with its gentle touch.

Blinded moments pass
Mist rises, surf tumbles on~
Dreams awake, enticed
Heartbeat near the blaze
Sunshine through feathery clouds~
Breath of peace, serene
Falling dew, life's hush
Silencing the coolness, calm~
Awakening serenity
In the sunshine on the living-room rug
Sparkles was asleep in the sun
How I longed to give her a hug
He ears perked up from her sleep
When she heard a Dove's sing
Quickly she bounded
To the glass door
On the floor
She sat
Stared
Eyes locked on each other, in dreamlike state
Deciding to meet again, we did not hesitate
Time could not erase, even though we were apart
The promise to love forever made by the heart
Pulled into your embrace, it said so much
Enveloped in your arms, feeling your touch
Words weren't necessary, our hearts spoke
Powerful emotions in each other we did evoke
Your lips upon mine, a kiss beyond sweet
Laced with love, absence could not delete
Your unique scent, I breathe you in
Sensory overload now sent in tailspin
Tear flooded eyes, fighting for control
My missing piece, temporarily whole
Fingers linked, can`t hold back the tears
Losing each other we faced our worst fears
Soul now awakened, blissfully enlightened
Heart full of love, no longer frightened
Healing process complete, happily refined
Now in control of the heart, soul and mind

Like a chest heaving
Molten Lava rising forth
Its path to the Sea
Awakened Senses
Aboard my boat on winding river here,
with anchor dropped, all seems so calm, serene.
I breathe in deep the fragrant river air;
the smell of water, breeze, the scent of clean.
These river smells stir up a sister sense...
the scrumptious, luscious flavors of the sea;
The ocean cod, the shrimp and flounder too...
The river wakes my senses wondrously.

In a deep slumber
Dreaming of the unknown
Suddenly awakened
I was startled
My cat beside me
She is fast asleep
She did not awake me
Something did awaken me
It felt like a shape
Laying beside me
I sat up quickly
Searching the bedroom
Looking under the bed
There was nothing seen
Yet I felt something
I did not sleep
My thoughts were racing
What was it laying
Beside me unseen
Was it a ghost?
if so who was it?
It was eerie
I stand alone in a black and white city
As the smog blends with the picture
I imagine colorful, plentiful sustenance
And look upon filth…
And when the speeding cars honked those relentless horns
I awoke, in a flourishing dream
My eyes opened
It was bright and dazzling
There was joyous birdsong
Yet there, on the rooftops
Who crafted these birds?
Do you laugh at the bard
Who wakes up hopeful in dreams?
Out of my dreams, I live of misery for life’s sake
Of a lost, unattainable love
Of eager waiting and longing
Of sadness and waste
And when the speeding cars honked those relentless horns
My mind and heart awoke
Now I stand here with him
And ponder on our once blissful love
I widen my eyes to stay in the dream
And my heart beats tenderly
When will the birds flutter into my city on earth?
When shall I kiss your lips again?
Living in a sleepy slumber..
As life passes by..
As one day is another..
eyes shut..
A daily grind of deceitfulness..
Masterminds of manipulation corrodes the air
A sleepwalking corroded mind asleep at the wheel..
The wheel of life is spinning ..
Trapped in yesterday..
A sleeping mind stagnant
As web of lies had spun deliberately..
Matrix of falsehoods had risen..
Awakened by a sleepy slumber..
Where every day is precious ..
Truth is not just spoken..
Truth is shown..
Eyes wide open..
Feeling over the moon with blessings.
A daily grind of gratitude..
Where vibrant colors of the rainbow captivate ones spirit..
With an open heart..
A beautiful mind awakened to the truth..
The wheel of life radiates love..
As the truth shall always set us free..
Days seem long and the nights so cold,
The cloudless skies tells it all,
Of how her spirit felt lost and all alone,
And her feelings out of control,
As she remembered her first encounter with her prince charming.
She remembered when their eyes met,
Their hearts felt as if an electric plug had shot in them,
Her smile knocked him off his feet while his charm turned her on,
Her lonely days were now gone,
The rest was history yet to be told.
Her prince charming is now back again her life,
Because it was never the right time for both of them to part ways,
As the famous Hawaiian band played their songs,
The long enticing beats awoke feelings that they never felt before,
With its soothing traits bringing them their hearts together.
Swaying their hips side by side letting their groove get into their shoes,
As the air is filled with laughter,joy and pleasure,
'Oh what a beautiful day indeed,'she whispered into his ear
Let's dance as though we will never dance again,
Dance the night away and get lost in our own world of fantasy,
As we watch the sunset and listen to the music slowly fading away.
The Sky Has Awakened
Storm clouds over head
Thunder beats drums of red
Ancients storm a sacred trail
Nothing colonists can silence or quell
Rain like fire from the sky
Rising up the warrior's cry
Stand your post and hold your breath
Await the day for oppression's death
A new day comes with awakened sense
Greed will have to recompense
Pray to your God to keep you safe
As we take back our Indigenous ways
Mother Earth has had enough
She shakes and purges to rebuff
To free herself from matricide
And governments of apartheid
Make your peace with your deed
Answer to the wolves you feed
Bow your heads and say a prayer
Against your own biological warfare
Prophecies circle back around
Like a clock being unwound
Only the ones who have done harm
Should be the ones who are alarmed
New day rising, new hopes spawned
The awakening has dawned
Beat the drums and sing the songs
Time to undo all the wrongs.
Just as our world is awakened by the morning sun
Our robe of life awakens, for a new day has begun
Our spirit activated, when refilled, with a night of rest
As the soul, within all life, takes flight, for this days test
Today my soul's awakened, by watching children play
Running thru a field of tall grass, that I must mow today
As the sense of a hard days work, gives me a joy within
The smell of fresh mowed hay, intoxicates, like bathtub gin
Agitated when past days I see, through a hollow stare
Images of loss, death, strife, will always bring a prayer
A humans robe is awakened by a soul which never sleeps
A personification of God, embedded in us, but is his for keeps
A soul awakes, from the kiss of that angel lying in your bed
This woman, you've promised to cherish, on the day you wed
May the words I've penned on this paper awaken your soul
To Remind you, of the true joy awaiting you, while you stroll
Awakened by the Whip-Poor-Will
Then the cooing of the gray Dove
Spring's sun shining _call of Bluegill
The Oak doesn't call though my precious Love
His love's infallibility
Lift's me in times of trouble and strife
Through all predictability
Of His love like tunes of fife
His great reliability
Lifts me in all of life's great storms
For it's sustainability
Keeps my awesome spiritual being warm
The warm light calls me
And all the people who cries for thee
I raise my hand in this abyss
Only to make one wish
To float among the others
With all my sisters and brothers
I call out for forgiveness with passion
I take their pain into myself for this occasion
The moment that I see the sky
I will not look back and cry
My body is laying still
People standing by it with a chill
The air gets dense with sadness
I would not think of it less
Some people look up and down
To see the light hit the ground
Some can vision the uplifting feeling they see
One soul that has been and always be
It is special to notice such aberration
And that might be how souls are awaken
