Best Enlightening Poems

The graveyard, shrouded in pale mist, so hauntingly eerie,
dampen spirits as the full moon loses her glow - dreary!
I float, like a vapour, amongst lifeless, inky shadows;
solitary yew tree, groaning with age, as the wind blows.

A ravens cold, chilling stare, shoots shivers within my soul

Reaction to the poem "My Beautiful Letter Multiply with Others You Make Verse" by James Edward Lee Sr

You are a message
and up Uplifting, you are
You come neatly noted, honey coated
with freedom and truth
Seeding weaving
Alluring words
Inspiring power
Heightening and enlightening
Enveloping everlasting existence 
You're a message of love,...

"Overcoming misleading [economic and political] metaphors
that are physically [naturally, ecosystemically, phylogenically] in [and of] 
your [ecological-organic embodied] brain
is never easy."
            George Lakoff, The Political Mind, p. 47

Unless, as Bucky Fulller so synergetically and consiliently,
Yang-confidently...

On a hot summer day in the hills
I went underground searching for thrills
Fifty Eight degrees year around
In the darkness, enlightenment was found
Down here is where it all began
Unearthed bones of earlier man
A small stream is what's left of the ocean
Hands of time, run in slow...

lap upon lap
 wave upon wave
 calming waters 
 ripple round toes

 with each stride
 footmarks fade
 behind
 as I wade

 shoreline spreads endlessly
 birds babble perky chants
 breeze beckons peaceful trance

 oh the ocean's song's
 so serene...
 lap upon lap
 wave upon wave

No towering, flowering landlocked tree
Will weep for the waning life of thee
Forgive them, friend, they never saw you smile
Forgive them, friend, they never saw you smile

To mistress maritime were you married
For her you lived, so to her be buried
Below the surface of sorrowful sin
Where above...

First intent for a Tail Rhyme poem

Light has appeared between the cloud 
Warding off shadows of becloud
Appearing hope as a symbol
Giving a sense of willpower 
Faith as strong as a high power
Speaking for yourself very loud

When the eclipse of Sun darkens entire universe,
The drought-infested soil waits for tender shower.
Love comes, delivers it from that dreadful curse,
Pouring its enlightening shower from holy bower.

All pains, struggles, sufferings seem non-existent
When there is love, when there is love’s presence.
After eclipse, sun appears brighter, clear,...

Lightening all you have betrayed
Enlighten the darkness in your brain
Illuminate all you can perceive
From contamination to disease

The voices of hunger will remain
Seeking the power to obtain
A grip on the things that scare you most
To weaken your spirit; to be host

In times of wanting, and in...

Religiosity is the culture-bound pretension
of religious function.

Religious is to spiritually healthy function
as religion
creed
faith system, idolatrous or divine,
is to spiritual form,
structure,
ecosystemic or pathologically other-unwise.

Spirit is to natural health functions,
mental and physical and sacred,
as nature
ecology
active positive hope systems
are to natural form,
polypathic structures,
polyphonic themes of Wisdom Literature,
EcoLogos Paradigms...

What is the meaning of it all?
If I told you, you’d surely bawl.
Cry like a baby, yes you would,
If all of truth you understood.

Truth can be so enlightening,
Also, can be quite frightening.
For from the start, we’ve known it all.
Our greatest challenge is recall.

When recalled the...

ANGELS ARE FOREVER
Curtain overhangs as barriers, or even for a shield,
what occurs before or after or even behind, untold,
it’s always a strange event to one another.
Forget all past to move on for better or even after.
Swimmers swim not in fear of waters but,
in speed to...
