Best Distractions Poems

The allure of mused poems,
No longer visits this nonchalant psyche.
It trickles now, once a roaring torrent
Now a lazy stream

Am like a desultory jaded heaven
Where starry jewels once decked the night,
But are now drossy shadowy blackholes,
And sparks and dreams, 
Are ripped in the accretion disc.

No longer...

Distractions, distractions, are life's way,
To interrupt our thoughts throughout the day.
We live in a fast pace world.
As events unfold, we are in turmoil.

Why does that have to be?
Why do we look, and not really see?
Well my guess its just the Trickster,
Because the devil in his...

Life is full of distractions
that can get us off track
We tend to lose our focus
on what really matters most
Tunnel vision often deters us
from our destiny making it
hard for us to see
Something magnificent awaits
us if we keep our eyes on the
prize 
Never...

How many devices do you own?
How many notification beeps can you identify?
As for me, I can recognize when I have a phone call
Voice mail or email
Different and distinct tones tell me when someone “likes”
My social media post or responds to another
Or comments on my blog
Of...

Detaching myself from past experiences' dilemma
determined heart of mine denounces deceit-dominance
dauntless to soar despite distractions…     

Devastated by dear Mom’s demise
distressed due to Dad’s despair over his darling’s death
despondent soul faced courage draining…

Demoralized with Brod’s departure from vowed kingdom duties
decreasing steadfastness questioned...

Tension’s thick and I feel your reaction
Workplace under a spirit of control
Oh this is just a major distraction

It’s making you miss the primary goal
Keep your focus on what God has in store
Workplace under a spirit of control

Please listen quietly and shut the door
Block out the...

Many will laugh and talk with you
Many will eat and drink with you 
Many will pretend as if they are with you.
         No evil distractions 
Many will say good things about you and 
many will say bad...

Watch then the battlefield, from the comfort of your chair
And push the button carelessly, when you can’t stomach any more.
Tell us of the sights you’ve seen, from your bought and paid for seat,
Boast of bombs and body counts, dismembered heads and feet.
Your evenings entertainment, remote...

#"Don't Turn Away!" 
At least of all, NOT today!
You ARE being spoken too, yes YOU!
This goes far beyond mere noise, and the volumes are deafening! What am I referring to? The Ultimate Gifted Voice, "WITHIN".

But, sometimes we opt to ignore it...
And yet, it chooses NOT...

Envious of things ever so various 
Furious of others’ successes 
Paying close attention to goals becoming precarious 
That have deeply consumed my mind 
Especially what others have achieved in little time. 
Focused on everyone else’s aspirations 
While my own goals continue to decline 
Submissive to...

There's an intuitive notion 
That the world is bound
By the grace of something 
That'll never be found

Hatred and heartache
Spread, across the lands
Love stays oblivious 
While marching in bands

Intentions grow strong
For the good of us all
But the outlook is Blick 
With a group so small

Growth in...

I don't know the current fashions, famous brands, or latest styles.
But I know my way through wooded parks and trails that wind for miles.

Haven't had TV for several years, nor seen the latest movies.
Couldn't name the actor-of-the-year or Hollywood's newest floozies.

No evening news disrupts my...

"In the very same way,
that the media distracts
us from what's important, 
by broadcasting trivial mess,
the enemy will attack our
person, in an attempt to 
distract us, from our
PURPOSE."

I lay awake once again
Unable to clear my head.
I wish this storm of thoughts would cease,
And allow me to go to bed.

I dream about the future.
I reminisce about the past.
I think about things I could have done.
A funny thought crosses my mind and makes me...
