Best Erect Poems
Flicker of disdain,
if the cause of pain
as our reaction,
causes contraction.
Let us doublethink
reason why we blink,
blown away by thought,
that’s ego begot.
Thought rested stillness,
path to our wellness,
so let’s shift to heart
and make a new start.
Heart has it’s own mind,
choosing pathways kind,
reflecting God’s light
by day and by night.
Choosing cessation,
our meditation
transforms feeble form
in bliss currents warm.
We thus flow through life,
at all times joy rife,
having so become
the cosmic bliss drum.

Pause the cause of thought dear heart,
before God-search we so start
and first find out what’s the source,
wherefrom arises remorse.
Heart loves but mind hesitates;
in the bardo, our soul waits.
Little wonder, we shrivel,
being fed on thought drivel.
That inner conflict may end,
head and heart to love must bend,
that then thus standing erect,
each deed we do is perfect.
Transient life is but a dream,
of thought forms we chose to stream.
At our core, we’re living light,
drenched in bliss by day and night.
Staid silence imparts wisdom,
taking us to God’s kingdom
and when our heart oozes love,
blessings pour in from above.
Is There a ‘Unique Selling Point’ other than Christ? Gal.5:22
Raise a shout & blow the trumpet. Release the compassion,
That Christ’s wave of freedom won, To wash away the dross, to
Reveal the precious stones with new names & gifts in potter’s clay.
Where is ‘The Church’? Hidden in full view; unseen by blinkered eyes & by
Media shrouded. Unappreciated, unrecognised through fear of mercy, justice & love!!
Denominations! Proud distinctions are not for common man. ‘The Truth’s’ side-lined, interpretations therefore flawed; when debate & dispute, are mirrored in traditions, rules & costumes.
MY HEAD IS ERECT
Met
at best
conflict-strife
throughout my life.
Always struggled lot
As a loner I fought
Tried to keep head erect,
as my ideals could direct.
Malice or meanness pushed to sink and drown.
Never going to allow me drag down.

Never going to drag me down Contest by Julie Rhodeheavers
Second Place
We stand erect, alive to the moment
Mode: embrace-hold-release, always content
Emptiness our path, simple and direct
Ego rested, no puzzles to bisect
Pure innocence, our native element
Eternal truth of love and light, ancient
To access, we simply accord consent
Nestled in inner silence, to connect
We stand erect
This earth life hard, with a steep gradient
Love the magic wand, curing all ailments
Detached presence free of fear and regret
Surrendered to God, each moment perfect
Merging by melting, into the current
We stand erect

Lord God, you are Holy,
About this 'no story'
Choosing to be loving
This constantly proving...
Most High! You are Supreme
The point in every Hymn
Ever forgiving Lord
To Sinning Global Horde
Me steadily direct
To keep standing erect
And no less me correct
For mistakes I suspect...
Alpha, You are Holy
The Endless Your Glory.
We stand erect but with support,
of divine magnetism,
so as Holy Spirit we court,
we transcend every ism.
Flirting with boundless space,
we thus invoke God’s grace,
holding love in embrace.
Soul’s stance perfect ~
We stand erect
Demons of fear, bind and confine,
so why not with bliss beats align?
For far too long, we’ve betrayed love,
stand erect: head-heart, hand in glove.
He who we search for, lives in us;
why then do we let fears nonplus?
God’s grace seeks us from high above;
stand erect: head-heart, hand in glove.
Cease struggle and strife and be still,
surrendering to God our will.
Ego’s what we must get rid of;
stand erect: head-heart, hand in glove.
Simple is the wisdom we teach;
the same divine light, glows in each.
There’s no cause to push, pull and shove;
stand erect: head-heart, hand in glove.
we walk alone
fate bemoaning
dethrone ego
We stand erect, our conscience clear
Love is our driving force
Suffused with bliss, we’re free from fear
Distanced from cravings coarse
Pure of heart, free from sin
We’ve silenced ego din
Bliss pulsating within
Free from defect
We stand erect

Aligning inner with outer
Bliss throb within purrs
