Best Connecting Poems
Many people do really make good friends
but they've different traits that attract the other
so one responds to one and indeed vice versa
then it works in unison so to go on further
When one is wise people stand in awe
pointing to that one seems to know it all
but real true wisdom creates in the heart
a sense of gratitude to stand and stall
What a beautiful twosome they do make
wisdom marked with gratitude simply divine
the wise reveal within the inner heart
seeking to find a gratefulness to shine
So the wonder of connecting these two
like an electric light when you switch
to the on position the dark is gone
light comes to rescue you from the ditch
Try and live full of these two
for it's wise to be truly grateful
as well as being grateful is wise
this being instilled shows one graceful
(Some thoughts on connecting two friends of gratitude and wisdom.)

Aristotle quote: “There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.”
American Proverbs
Edgar Allen Poe: “I remained too much inside my head; I ended up losing my mind.”
Robin Williams: “You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it”
Marilyn Monroe: “Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius.”
can genius be found
if you fail to look around
head buried in ground
to stay in my mind
others may think I am blind
label me maligned
welcome is madness
if you believe it’s genius
and make others guess
shall I cling to it
this madness, every last bit
to genius commit
imperfection reigns
for people who play mind games
desiring acclaims
I must not lose this
ties to poetic genius
deep in mind’s abyss

Sixth and final verse is inspired by the Poe proverb
When walking barefoot trough the grass you will feel a tantilizing tingle.
Connecting your soul to the earth is advised permitting your toes and grass to mingle.
The earth transfers energy through the body and cleanes free radical through the soul.
Enhancing your health by walking barefoot connecting to mother earth for fifteen or more minutes a day should be a daily goal.
It's kind of like when a dog mindlessly chases a car down the street.
Perhaps it's pure instinct, or a childish need.
Gas is to engine,
as honey is to bee.
Instincts exists inside the mind,
from doubts to beliefs.
A blink of an eye,
the jerk of a knee,
beat of the heart,
a cough or a sneeze.
When a mother and child's eyes finally meet,
love is created between two human beings.
From that moment on,
We start searching for bonds,
family, and friends,
to true love and beyond.
Moments are made,
some forgotten,
some lost.
The best ones are relived,
through stories and song.
Do we know what to expect?
From our birth to our deaths?
The past is our future,
Life's just a mess.
Connecting The Dots
Being at the young age of only five
Little did I know how time would fly
Back then I wanted to be a nun
Everything was possible under the sun
Always kept a smile along the way
Only by the protection of God I am here today
Gathered many friends along the way
Is their love as deep as mine, I hope so I pray
Can we teach each other on how to treat others
Respect the elders, the children, the fathers and the mothers
Today is still here, its not too late
Open your heart and learn to appreciate
What is your purpose, are you on track
Move forward, seldom look back
Hope you enjoyed my poem alot
If you did, we've connected dots
This is the closes I will get to being a nun
Still believing everything is possible under the sun

This year 2024 is an opportunity to reflect on the previous year past and set new goals for the next 12 months ahead. We must always look back at all the important work that has been accomplished and how we want to build on that moving forward, but we also must begin brainstorming about what will be new and different in our lives for the next 12 months.
None of what we do would be possible without our trust in the Lord. He gives great resources of favor and ideas as we put our trust in Him.
In 2023 as we look back at the story of our lives of missing the mark of what God gave us to overcome the trap the enemy place before us. That’s why I personally will not make any New Year Resolution, but work on the old.
“You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”(Matthew 22:37–40)
It is about connecting to who you are already and living your life according to that which God has placed within you. Those moments, when we open ourselves consciously to what we actually feel and long for, are very powerful. And I personally believe that is what He has placed deep down inside of us from the beginning.
Note: Do your own research of what the below points mean to you and you will find the solution to your questions concerning your lives.
I believe that the Scriptures will answer ALL your questions:
1. Focus on your goals, values and beliefs...
2. Keep a journal to help you express your deepest thoughts and feelings…
3. Read inspiring stories or essays to unearth insights and philosophies that can enrich your life…
4. Be open to new experiences. ...
5. Look at what's good in yourself and others…
6. Develop the courage to face your fears. …
7. Define and embrace your strengths. …
8. Practice, practice, and practice mindfulness. …
9. Volunteer in help others…
I call this ‘Connecting With Your Deepest Self’.
Note: If I listed anything incorrect, thank you for your correction.
At birth I saw the opening
And a speck of light
From the world that welcomed me –
The first visible light
To excite my pupils, I guess.
That light comes clearer now
As I pass by the road
Full of dried hit-and-run frogs,
With various scenes of life along.
The dots are exposed:
I see one from the night sky
Like a white paint drop
On a black board,
From a grain of sand by the sea,
From a tiny seed
That waits for the time to sprout,
From the eye of a beast
That secretly solicits love,
And from many others.
The dots lie on such an infinitely wide sheet
That I try to connect them
And cannot see the whole picture.
I think God watches me on the sheet
Under a microscope.
The first flight left on time
And landed at the proper gate,
But someone took its parking place
And so we had to wait.
We didn't have a lot of time
For our connecting flight
And heavy rain just added to
Our still unfolding plight.
The pilot taxied 'til he found
A place to park the jet.
We had to dash to buses,
So we all got soaking wet.
We found the listing for our flight,
Most likely fully boarded
And ran to get our passports stamped;
Impatience still rewarded.
With twenty minutes 'til our plane
Would take off to the skies,
We raced full speed, most grateful
That we're fit from exercise.
We made the flight with minutes left
Until they shut the door,
A closer call than any other
That we've had before.
We caught our breath, sat down and smiled,
Our peace of mind restored
Except for one small worry -
Did our luggage get on board?
(P.S. I wish it weren't so.
Alas, the answer turned out No!)
We were two souls separated by a wide river,
and to cut the distance we needed to build
a footbridge enhancing the green landscape;
that would have been our wonderful dream
to meet on the wooden bridge and watch
each evening a rose-tinted sunset so unique!
And the hummingbirds would come to build
their nests in the ever-green shrubs and bushes,
dandelions and daises would grow on each bend;
gorgeous butterflies lured by them would float
on the whitest cherry trees that bees would love
by greeting spring with their intense scent dispersing!
Even night would seem more realistic to the eyes,
there would be stars and fireflies; Earth would become
a scintillating scene which would have nothing to envy
the endless Heavens so distant and fading from view...
as the glowing sunrise would turn into a refulgent light
showing once again the walkaway of the footbridge!
Then a multitude of larks would take flight shrilling,
we would look up and see how happy they are!
When Man protects Nature and embellishes it,
true harmony is heard in mountains, hills and valleys,
no creature needs to fear anything, but roam freely;
and us enthralled by this vision, walk home serenely.

We are living on top of the sphere.
Where questions of mind haven't yet revealed.
Some still stuck in pyramid's scheme/
Life has unforeseen purpose to prevail.
Questions are hanging up in the air,
Mind has been unleashed .
Setting one's soul to defeat the darkness/
Preacher and moron evocatively says;
A gift of salvation just like the other way,
Salvation granted for people who follow their will/
As we seek for the answers,
our mind was built with faith.
To demand,to sustain our starving flesh/
We all meet in a half-way where deliverance is dwelt,
Changing the world goes round on our feet.
In a mystical way we were molded by mud.
Our soul was given of a breath of life,
Sending us the spirit,the unknown force from up above/
And now,we as human creature--
Living the edge of life in a blast;
As the sun rest at dawn and the moon took its place,
As a newborn child sooner grow and life will be fade/
People had learnt to fall inlove,
Cries a river when someone has left/
From the peak of Everest to the core of the Earth,
Through the lands and the seas,
Blood is continuosly flows in our veins.
Life must come and go,but forever will be
Our hidden connection will remain mystery.
When you were a young child,
did you ever play "connect the dots"?
And all the while you were doing it,
you'd wonder what it was and what it was not.
Back then it was to satisfy boredom when,
on a rainy day, you needed somethin' to do.
Or maybe you couldn't go out and play with
your friends because the flu had you.
Many believe,including myself, that
"connect the dots" takes on a new meaning today.
It has a great deal to do with this "snake"
who is bent on leading us astray.
It seems as if he is running out of time,
so he is really focused on the task at hand.
The one thing he wants more than anything else
is to capture and forever bind the souls of man.
But for those very souls, God had another plan.
Yes, His only Son gave His very life for us.
And oh the peace and joy that can forever
be ours if, in Him, we place our trust.
We know for sure that the God of the Bible
is real, just witnessing creation alone.
But not stopping there, the hundreds of prophecies fulfilled
further prove Him out, He so much wants to be known.
Oh yes, one may say "But I can't reach
out and touch Him...... if I dare."
And I say "True,but neither can you
touch the wind, but you know it's there."
And it is this living Creator God that
tells us in His Word that He has a time table.
When the world, as we know it, will cease
to exist and He is the only one able
To determine exactly when that will be.
But He gave us glimpses into the future for all to see.
For He wants none to be banished to hell.....
instead to be ready as He climaxes history.
One thing that He mentions in His love letter is
that His beloved Israel would again become a nation.
And that in our final years here,the Jews,
to this original home,would complete a vast migration.
So as we "connect the dots," we find that
indeed Israel did become a nation in 1948.
And ever since that time, God's chosen ones did
return there and they endear themselves to that date.
Connecting In Cyberspace
One day I opened up an email that had been sent my way.
They were searching for their relatives who they had never met.
Growing up and thinking their was no one else around
But they had heard it through the grapevine there were others to be found.
I had written about my family and friends who had passed away.
“Gone But Not Forgotten”. was floating in cyberspace.
I had listed my brother’s name and other family members too.
I was missing all of them and my heart was feeling blue.
Then I got this strange email that said “are you the one”?
I am looking for my people-I want to meet each one.
He was stationed in the service way across the miles.
We exchanged our numbers and boy did his heart smile.
Another message came from a niece living across the mile.
We had never met although I had came to town.
She had heard about my visit but I had went back home.
So she found me on myspace and she was such a charm.
We corresponded time after time and then I went home again.
We ran into each others arms and a brand new relationship
began.
Oh Auntie-My Auntie was all that she could say.
I shall always remember that look upon her face.
So as write and send out messages into cyberspace-
We just don’t know who we will meet in this worldwide space.
It may be a loved one or just a long lost friend.
Just be ready to connect with the one who is searching within.
The living soul of the universe,
might seem separate and diverse,
yet the universe is a living thing
that's connecting everything.
We are connected, you and I
and it's in math that we learn why.
In math two points create a line
and this connection is divine.
Be still and let your everyday
reflect this truth in every way.
Daily try to seek perfection
in this true divine connection.
Be still and breathe for but awhile,
you are the universe's child.
You may not believe this true
but the universe believes in you.
Be still, relax and know this true
your actions will come back to you
and when you speak, it's also true,
for you're indeed connected too.
When I gaze up at the evening sky (by the way I think everybody should)
I’m often reminded of my younger days…back in my childhood.
Back when I played with my Lite Brite…for often I would sigh…when I saw the constellations I created…back when I controlled the sky.
And I wonder if ancient astrologers gazing up into the night…were as enamored with what they saw…as I was with my Lite Brite.
Back when I played connect the dots…when it wasn’t always clear…when I started to connect them…what picture would appear.
And I wonder how long it took ancient astrologers to make the correlation…to connect the dots of light across the sky and form the constellations.
I don’t think it crazy or in the least bizarre…to think there was a little bit of child in those ancient astrologers as they gazed up at the stars
Perhaps they formed their beliefs…and found answers to the question why…by playing, in their own way, with their Lite Brite in the sky.
Gazing at the constellations tonight…I’m filled with a host of childhood thoughts…which makes me want to thank those ancient astrologers…for connecting all those dots.
Two beating hearts
together on top
atop of each other doesn't impart
love and yet two faces that stare
Through their eyes, they see each other's souls
Hearts beating fast allows their auras to glow
