Best Clarity Poems

Clarity, clarity, surely clarity is the most beautiful thing in the world, A limited, limiting clarity I have not and never did have any motive of poetry But to achieve clarity.
George Oppen

If it wasn't for poetry,
how would we portray stars of clarity?
Moon would appear silently...

untested waters
 ripple,
 strands of light
 flash in the beauty
 of my mind

---

the past dwelt
 in the corner
 debilitating
 disabling
 untethering,
 I was thrown
 back in time

(bad happens
 to the good
 and the good
 happens to the 
bad)

visiting sins
 replayed in my 
head
 reminding me

I still reminisce when it was raining incessantly at 3:55 a.m. in the nascent ticks of time on a wistful wednesday. My skin felt the spark of crying hail and maybe, the snow-storms melted too quickly upon my silenced lips that night. As seconds slowly...

When rainy skies are gray and sun shines through
Remember to look up for the rainbow
Colors bring clarity to what is true

When things are foggy and it's hard to know
A direction for your purpose to grow
Remember to look up for the rainbow

Give yourself comfort so that...

The garden of the world has no limits except in your mind. Its presence is more beautiful than the stars with more clarity than the polished mirror of your heart. By Rumi

The perfect poem goes something like this –
Feeling stings, like a bee
Quick as a tear
Just as abruptly as a star’s glowing
A whisper, a sigh, a stirring – 
Stars of Clarity…
What it means to truly see beyond 
The grief, the longing, the all-consuming 
Passion!

The perfect poem...

Crystal clarity caught in drops

water is pristine and

genteel,

as it gurgles, babbles and plops

flowing over the land

with zeal.

Ray Gridley has a possible diagnosis
Alas, rabbits do catch viral myxomatosis
Since Jan's is a famous banging bunny
Who stays far from field and ANY honey
Energizer Bunny will bang on till unconscious!

Each new day elucidates the night
bringing shadows, allusions, forth to clear
the angst of shattered memory and fright,
opening eyes once shut with nighttime fear.

Each new day illuminates the mind
brushing aside the cobwebs caused by age,
sending feelers out to search and align 
with an expanding universal stage.

Each...

The bright blue sky and white fluffy clouds,
are slipping far away.
The day is coming to a close,
and it is now their bedtime.
Very soon the huge sky will change,
the sky is getting dressed for night time.
The velvet background will be magical,
with a full shining moon.
Then the...

The stars of clarity have risen in my heart.
To light the flames that burn through the night,
   and steal away the darkness.
That leaves a glow around your face,
   where my eyes will dwell forever
as they become liquid from love
and weave a...

Stars of Clarity

Lost in ebony
Void of bursting astral intuitions,
Alabaster amber stolen,
Abandoned in delirium’s decay
Of dying brown dwarfs
Hoarding lavender purple leftovers,
Hidden remnants of disguised advent,
Ashen sojourner wades through impotent stardust
Numb in faded platinum insight.

Out of grey vertigo
Carmine dwarfs arise to overshadow ebony
In a...

"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your spirit, 
meditate deep, to find your way and answers."

Sometimes it gets too steamy
Reality insists
On distorting our perception
As this heartbeat still persists

Sometimes it gets too frosty
When the winter comes to call
We scrape to see the road ahead
A strange fear that we'll fall

Sometimes though, there's a new mist
Corrupting twenty twenty
A sadness from a place within
An...

The Ocean

I hear the ocean beckoning
she calls for me once more
"Come and lay your troubles down"
"and walk along the shore"...

"I'll whisper sweetly to your soul
my words will ebb and flow"
"The waves will clear the cluttered mind
and leave an afterglow"...

"I'll call the wind to soothe your...
