Best Insight Poems
midnight insight Anacreontic Versemidnight beckons
I don't count down
just sit quite still
for fear I'll drown
inside my eyes
are memories
that's where you live
where life's a breeze
to take me back
I close them tight
I'm there with you
the sun shines bright
with extra thought
your hand's in mine
no distractions
I'm feeling fine
but I have cause
to wake...

InsightHeaven's furry sheep
Grazing the light atmosphere
Bares blue the sky's bloom
Clouds were made to weep
Not paint portraits on blue air
Trees without perfume
The virtual sea
These Jason's sail, hides nothing
Except death's surprise
The eyes graze the deep
Visions of the mind, what fear
Like frosty waves leap
From the hearts dark sea
The...

Insight OutInner sanctuary
envision harmony and mental clarity
focus on a journey of possibility
Meditate on transformation and
awareness of inner state
peace and healing
Constructive thought
instruct your mind
to redirect the lost and struggling inner voice
Where you can’t see the wood for the trees
under your nose is the path of...

Seagull InsightWhite winged creatures in flight across the blue
Their wingspan peaceful slicing through thin air
They've no use for the likes of me and you
Of our troubles seagulls shrug just don’t care
Their wingspan peaceful slicing through thin air
Our hustle seems to them frightly cliché
Of our troubles seagulls...

InsightIf you know,
impart what you know.
Don't say that you know,
when you don't know.
It is beguiling to say that you don't know
when you know.
I tarry with you all night,
supposing that you know,
and you really don't know
yet you tell me that you know

Edge of InsightWhy are some so quick to judge
Before they know all you've been thru?
They'd rather give a nasty nudge
Than take a stab at grasping you
And following assumptions, trudge
Upon the shining things you do.
There are so few who understand
That ALL of us are tending strife
And all that...

Insight of LifeSometimes you think in life
That the end beats the beginning
And you look for your life
To have that fairy tale ending
You look at other people and
Say; you got success and
Tears fall down because your
Life seems like a mess
You fought many battles
But the war lies ahead
You should...

My Name is Etched on Insight LanderMy name is etched
On Insight Lander
On Martian soil
It waits for me
To be where gravity is low
So be careful where you go
Mars’ atmosphere has little air
So beware
My name’s still etched
On Insight Lander
Along with miliions
Who like me dream
If we can get to you
Insight Lander
Your solar panels
We’ll surely...

I Will Give You
I will give you my heart
If you promise to kiss it
With butterfly kisses
And gentle whispers of kindness
I will give you my love
If you promise to delight in it
With compassionate embraces
And a dance through faith
I will give you my laughter
If you promise to speak of it
With...

My God
He’s bigger than the mind
Can think or comprehend
He’s bigger than the heart and soul
He knows everything
He’s greater than the miracle
That He performs throughout the day
He’s greater than the mystery
That knows He hears me when I pray
He’s larger than the moon and...

As Clear as DaylightSometimes we can go all our lives seeing something without really having any insight into what we are seeing. For instance, hands in prayer position. Because they are praying we assume people will put their hands flat together. It looks very neat...

Universal LightWhat is the gift the Creator doth give?
Providing a purpose for which to live.
It could be the consciousness He gave man.
The awareness we’re part of His grand plan.
Faith and trust in what’s physically not seen.
An eternal life, but what does that mean?
Thoughts that come to...

Summer CampingGentle ripples of clear water trace the banks
Where there are stones washed perfectly smooth
By the silent waves caressing their sleek veneer
And whispering echoes of tenderest serenity
Through the air that is so very fresh and clean
Bright, hot embers burn inside the circle
Where coals have turned the...

Praise Him Through the StormSlowly and silently, keeping time with the raindrops
I open my petals to whisper a soft, sweet melody
Of insight into the Creator’s inspiration for my purity
My life’s blood is streaked with clarity and compassion
Coloring me in hues of crimson, amber and lemon yellow
Daily, I open each...
