Best Beneficent Poems


Premium Member Woke

We are never Woke! 
Cool, catchy, hip
neat sounding expression

but deceptively misleading!

Best we can do is rest,
shelter at a pillar of Awakening….
-----------------------------------
We choose our possessions -- 
Choose what possesses us -- 
The Devil, with his lures
of power and gem-my babbles -- 
Christ His promise of Soul
Liberation: ever higher expansion,
Awaking consciousness into spheres
of unimaginable cosmic spiritual
wealth – Christ, my heart lightener;
guide through shrouded corridors,
enraptured, trans-versing mystic chambers, 
those sky-high mansions for initiate 
flight.  I become the Light-bearer! No captives in 
Christ, only partners, who serve the Father,
totally dedicated to His Children's uplifting.
There are no dogmatic prisoners in
Christ. I follow Christ, who follows
God, joyful in a journey of unfolding
omnipotence.  What Father wants
less for His Children than he has
For Himself?  The Almighty, ever
present, ever loving, beneficent Great I Am!

Premium Member Rainbow On Other Side of Sky

Those who saw prairies bloom
Remember well the dams he built
Filling their abundant reservoirs
Growing harvests they cherished
Being the only bridge they had
Standing over turbulent streams.

When the nights reign moonless
And clouds churn mighty storms
Most people still remember him
As ray of light when they were lost
For he was their only lighthouse.

His words enlightened their hearts,
His actions charted pristine paths,
Defying fiercely allure of wrongs
Sacred was the sermon he doled out,
Illustrious was he~ held in regard.

Though he’s gone, he left his mark,
Some have heard his clarion call,
Inspired to follow in his footsteps,
Planting the seeds of his message,
Carrying his torch~ seeds to harvest.

Esteemed is their beneficent voice
Tolling of selflessness and sacrifice,
Dedicating to others purpose of life
Alleviating sufferings of human plight;

Keeping the flame of goodwill alive
Trekking through rains and clouds
Leading the way, guiding how to find
The rainbow on other side of sky.

Premium Member Sunlight

yellow sphere rises daily
illuminating a once-dark world

traveling from east to west rapidly in winter months
when sun’s deprivation finds Earth dwellers in gloomy spirits

longer hours of sunlight
add joy to summer months

warming seas for swimmers
raising flowers from the soil

radiating on verdant fields
kissing golden meadows

a star blessed with life-giving power
by a beneficent Creator


The Way To Faerie

I opened the 
    door 
and saw an enchanted forest
   growing from the 
verdant earth 
   Gorgeous aromas and the sound 
of a river greeted 
     me 
One believes there is still
    magic in the world 
when that door is opened 
Multi - colored flowers 
   line the path 
Walking in the beneficent 
   landscape 
One feels a sense of awe 
   Creation is something to contend with

Premium Member I Am

I say I am
simply a man,
simple
easier for self
to understand

though the complexity of men

I am no outlier
-----------------------------
Can I say then
that I am mostly an honest man,
my only lie
that of being simply
a man?
----------------------------
If not
I will be just a loving man
at least to please my God
------------------------------
God says there is no loving man

men simply the AIs of gods…..
--------------------------------------
God spoke
and my soul responded,
I am a world 
within an endless
world

A kingdom for my
own eternal unfolding

God loved
and love I became,
my divine spirit proof of
His faithful beauty
and ever presence

God is within
enfolds me
showers me with
blessings

He is that He is
so I may be the best
of who I am….

Beneficent Father….

Omnipotent Fount of All Being....

Bearing the light of the Fajr (dawn) shining,
And the universe enriched the recitation.

And make it beneficent for all creatures of Allah AlMighty.
Make it our fortress.
Our tranquility & our eternal guide.

Reflections On Truth

In solitary silence i commune with my own heart,
And diligently consider its questions and awnsers,
It declares to me that all real questions have real awnsers.
Truth offers herself to all who enquire after her.
If insulted she will look for better company,
From better dispositions and warmer hospitality.

She exists like a spirit; not timid and weak, but powerful,
And she will share her power with all her followers,
To bless or curse those who use her influence;
If used for justice, she will protect and defend,
If for mercy she will inspire benevolence and goodness;
If used for love she will make worthy of the same;
If for hate she will bring misery, if to deceive she will condemn.

Of all in existence she is the most excellent!
Because she illustrates lucid and clear choices,
She conveys the most profound feelings,
And the grandest most sublime imaginations,
She plainly discovers beauty and ugliness.

She is not property to be owned and controlled,
Nor will she own and control those who know her,
She imparts the power of pure intelligence,
Witch is nought else but her own power.
She makes the best people, and also the worst.
The great and wise who raise others to her vitality and glory,
The wretched and miserable who by her abuse and oppress.

She discovers what is, what was and what will be.
She influences the highest and most beneficent liberty,
And also the heaviest oppression and cruelest tyranny.
Lies can be vehemently hurled against her,
But she overthrows all direct contact with her enemies.

She is equally impartial to flattery as she is to scorn.
To doubt, wonder and question is to stand in her shadow.
To reflect, reason and believe is to see by her light.
She is not in words, thoughts or silences,
But manifests and presents herself through these.

She is the absolute that makes possible all absolutes,
She emanates knowledge, confidence and wisdom,
With her fear dissipates and disappears,
And beauty is her splendor; She is the mighty Truth.


                                                                 Julian LeBaron

Premium Member Memorial Tribute

Life on the earth to all is reality.
However, it possesses ephemerality.
Living may be full of hardship or sublime.
No matter what, we are here for a short time.
Despite unpredictable events and trends,
we must share this world with our neighbors and friends.
We convey the good blessings that our Lord sends.
They are perpetuated until our life ends.

There is a reserved place in heaven for all.
Our Lord God takes in all souls that heed His call.
We should love neighbors and friends unselfishly.
Those with God, recognizing His sovereignty,
ones who live their whole lives altruistically,
will dwell in His Kingdom for eternity.

Our dear friend has fulfilled his obligations.
He has passed all his trials and tribulations.
Another soul has departed for heaven.
Our beneficent Lord God, please take Joe in.

A Godly Insight

"What if you woke up tomorrow with only
what you asked god for today?"
As I read, a scowl is freed, then a smile
indeed, and I'll tell you why - I say:

"Poseidon is not so beneficent,
And neither - I wager - is Zeus.
So it seems to me if a man is honest,
he wakes up with what HE has produced."

This much is true. But I jest, of course,
I know they mean well, but let's see...
If god is provider, I'll have some hot cider!
...And yet none is present for me.

"Now, now, be a gentleman. Don't let your
sharp tongue be like teeth." I think.
But if others' boats fill with water,
ought I not inform them they'll sink?

Premium Member Mocked and Forgotten

Beneath an orange sky and huge rainbow, 
Mestor, free spirited son stops the flow 
over his dad Poseidon, 
God of the sea, rift widen 
climbs upon his narwhal, puts on a show. 

Setting off with bounding leaps through the waves. 
Sunlit shafts shine in bright gleaming locks laves 
beams, the beast travels full speed. 
A fine beast a wreath of reed 
around its neck towards Atlantis caves. 

Mestor's unfearing icy blue eyes gaze 
upon a dazzling mermaid saffron blaze. 
Wind swept across her brunette 
wet long hair, thoughts of a net 
and human ways, hooted in shrill amaze. 

Mestors woke amongst an ocean sand bed 
of froth, sounds of laughter in the wind spread. 
A glimmering pace along 
the beach and a droll tone song 
in the silver wake of the moon was shed.

MESTOR A king of one the ten kingdoms of Atlantis--a mythical continent in the Atlantic Ocean. He was a son of Poseidon and Kleite.

http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/PoseidonFamily.html

In folklore, a mermaid is an aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish.[1] Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The first stories appeared in ancient Assyria, in which the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drownings. In other folk traditions (or sometimes within the same tradition), they can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing boons or falling in love with humans.

Ramadan Mubarak

Here come the special month! You are always in our heart
We welcome you Ramadan month of holiness
We treasured you Ramadan ahlan was’sahlan
The pious and the righteous await your arrival
Opportunity for their good deeds to amass 

We welcome you, oh precious Ramadan
It time to abstain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk
Spouses abstain from sexual intercourse during the day
We welcome you month of Ramadan 
That frees us from the fire of hell

Reciting Quran and intensity remembrance of Allah
Saving us from eternity of horror dwell
It time to Abstain from road rage, cursing, fighting, or gossiping
Cause it the month of holiness
It’s a month to purify our soul and our mind 
With the most sincere devotion  

A blessed month is casting its shadow to us 
Glory be to Allah who sent Ramadan as a mercy to mankind
It’s a continuous training to strengthening our Imaan 

In the name of Allah the most beneficent the most merciful
Praise be to Allah, who sent Ramadan as gift to mankind

Listen to the Warm


In the distance a dog barks, two cats hiss, each asserting its right
to territorial tyranny.  Soft gentle rain bounces off a dream,
trickles warmly across fading memories.  The almost silent sound
of her breathing gently tickles the hairs of my arm. Her mouth twitches
in a pouty grin, eyes blinking rapidly adjusting to the rhythms of another realm.

Her presence seems the gift of peace dropped mysteriously 
into my world by some beneficent benefactor bent on softening
my heart, breaching my boundaries.  Now, aware of all that she was,
and is, I lie still, basking in the presence of her being, cradled in the
cadence of her heartbeat, listening to her warmth.

Scheduling

So let us have our laugh;
it is enough for just a moment
sacrificed to force belief
that somewhere an intangible
divinely-ordered plan exists, 
to which we must conform.
Dear God, give mercy to my plea
that that may not be so!

That there is little solid ground
on which free will may put down roots
already--I shall dignify
my entry with a lordly number,
cringing as I write, and beating back
a nagging, growing certainty that even
summoning a doubt is forordained.

There's no way out!
We all are hypocrites, and must
expunge such realistic thinking
as we write our grocery lists
and then assign them slots
within our silly days in order
just to fortify our flesh
and those elusive pleasure centers
lurking there among our bones.

But thoughts are stubborn.
They keep coming back, reminding me
of their entitlement. My to do lists
are perishable--reality is not.
Even consciousness, I read, 
may plod ahead of me
long past mortality.
And I remain advisedly
a happy cog in a machine
of some beneficent monstrosity
I'll never comprehend.

Birth

As of a chrysalis

the beneficent breakage

exfoliation

emergence from

isolationism

into a mosaic of group dynamics

a centring of regard

a new diagnosis

a lissom beginning

departing an empty goblet

full of peppermint concern
