Best Insight Poems
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 generous words and phrases
And a beautiful, affectionate grace
I will give you my song
If you promise to sing it
With a honest, enduring hope
And a light that fills up the darkness
I will give you my dream
If you promise to listen and believe
With a vibrant vision of trust
And echoes of prayers and praise
I will give you my devotion
If you promise to take all I give
With acceptance that is silently yearning
And gives back a part of its inspiration and wisdom
I will give you my all
If you promise to breath its air
With a sense of secret faithfulness
And a relief from all the past sadness
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 stars
The sun that lights the day
He’s larger than the sweet grace
That He so generously gives away
He’s more alive than the breath of life
In silence He inspires faith
He’s more alive than the blood
That covers us all with a second chance
He’s the love that fills us all
With joy that flows through the veins
He’s love that is meant to be given
Without any reason or conditions
He’s a God who holds the world
In the center of his palm
He has all the answers
To prayers we whisper with hope
He’s the inspiration that we need
When compassion colors our thoughts
He’s wisdom strength and light
That brings assurance, hope and insight
He’s the one I long to know
Intimately and completely – fully
He’s alive like a consuming fire
That warms my soul so pleasantly
He’s peace that flows through me
When I feel the heat of his kiss
He’s the caress that welcomes me
When I need a kind and true friend
He’s my hope, my faith, my love
He’s the One who makes life worthwhile

to body, mind, heart and spirit
Intuition, introspection and spiritual renewal

To allow time for self communication and
expression of inner self

ambiance, temperature, oils, music, sounds and
sights of nature or universe
realisation comes in various form and shape
causing us to feel life in fullest expression
Connecting – whispers of wind
radiating everpresent warmth of sun
a blanket of love and light comforts consoles over and through the cosmos
rippling infinately through infinity outwards, onwards
connecting right back into where we are at right now
unmoved unchanged and as we were
Wise – responsible courageous allowed to let go of need to be judgemental or
be judged

Heaven'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 wind of thoughts in rags bring
Logic's cold demise
Love should not regret
The fancy of the heart, wing
It, denying death
For clouds' sheep are dreams
Dream's love are clouds, the blue air
With new magic teems
White 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 shrug just don’t care
Won't bother to give us the time of day
Our hustle seems to them frightly cliché
Lessons learnt for a life without confine
Won’t bother to give us the time of day
Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine
Lessons learnt for a life without confine
They've no use for the likes of me and you
Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine
White winged creatures in flight across the blue

If 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

Heartfelt hues hope for
Paintings, vibrating in light
Coloring the muse
My 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 clean
Slowly 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 trembling flower to a delicate sunlight
Enlightening the dawn with a beautiful array of enchantment
Breathing whimsical order in the fashion of petals that grace
Each spectator with feelings of appreciation for my powerful
Presence, my fragility shadowed with dreams and passions
Graciously, I lift up my head toward the morning rainstorm
Feeling drenching showers pour across my spirit’s essence
Creating a melancholy that breeds illuminations of sorrow
Which soon turns into a sweet harbinger of tomorrow’s glory
Delicious sentiments of what will soon be the praise of God
Applauding Him with my fingers of illusive discernments
Honoring Him with my faint hints of vitality in emotion
Acclaiming Him as the world’s most glorious designer
Admiring Him for all that He’s given to His creation
Praising Him with every part of my peaceful spirit, eternally.
I am the flower that rises above my loss of life and limb
To the joy of knowing that through existing I am filled with
Compassion and praise that fills up this dismal land called earth
With true expressions of kindness and charity that is known
To be the way to God’s heart, where I hope to always go!

Gentle 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 wood to heat
Warming the chilliness with breaths of hope
Brought on by the knowledge that everyone
Who visits this place will feel the grace here
Smoke drifts up toward a dark, evening sky
Stars surfacing in the distance, twinkling, dancing
Laughing at the moon who is lighting the night
With the assurance that there is true love living
Inside the hearts of those who share their feelings
Scents of grilling and insect repellant and night
Sooth the spirit with a sigh of contentment that is
Like peace freeing the soul to move toward insight
Into inspiration, elation, a haunting mystery growing
In honesty and praise, worshiping the One who saves
Enlivening and exciting, reflections of dreams invite me
To share my heart and soul, my inner faith and hope
Everything that gives and knows that real love unfolds
Among the ones who are willing to let go of their inhibitions
And fulfill their destiny with prayers for strength and wisdom
Nocturnal creatures lift their voices to sing through the dusk
Owl, opossum and raccoon make their presence known
Capturing their prey without creating any fuss or protest
With only their senses and purpose aroused, they whisper
Revelations of insights that only the wild creation experiences
God’s wisdom comes alive in the brilliant ebony of nightfall
Reminding hearts just why there is nature’s beauty to enchant
And delight, inspire the hope for tomorrow’s insight into
The future – where wisdom grows and freedom flows with
A sigh of whimsical pleasure at sharing in God’s creativity

Why 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 we had wished or planned
Is at the mercy of our "REAL" life
(I hope from that high place they stand
They don't fall down on their own knife).

Sometimes 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 control your life
But your life controls you instead
Recording of negative thoughts
Play over and over in your head
When you should be sleeping
You toss and turn in your bed
If someone would care about
How you feel inside
The pain it brings when all
They have to offer is lies
There’s this numb feeling when
You find yourself alone
The hurt twist your head
And your joy somehow has gone
You take a deep breath and
And try to count to seven
As you push through the anger
Trying hard to reach heaven
Just one little word you try
Hard to whisper in prayer
If God would only answer
You know that he’s there
Struggling in this life to
Do that which is good
What you know is best and
What you thought you could
No one ever told you that
This life would be fair
No one ever told you that
The world would care
Now it’s your time to
Build high upon faith
Believing you is somebody
With the keys to the gate
Which is your life that you
Fight to keep straight
Built upon love and a
Long way from hate
Think about this the next time
You feel sorry for yourself
Life becomes dusty when
You leave it on the shelf.
INSIGHT
We all have to fight
Between wrong and right
The darkness and light
Controls all of our lives
There’s no where to hide
Within us it lies
The battle of light
That provides great insight
Our hearts and our pride
Our emotional side
With the light I do side
With our Lord, I live life
But the darkness within
Does not like to give in
It thrives on our sins
The thoughts we hide within
It hates this loves light
It loves when we fight
It lies and deceives
And tries to make us believe
That the darkness is right
We shouldn’t listen to the light
But if the Lord has your soul
Then He will never let go
He will guide you to Insight
For it is all in the light

A talent you shall have from the one up above
Words given then written from memory with love
A clever thought of wit and rhymes through time
Transferring them onto parchment written down
Thou shall never look to another for praise
For praise feeds the ego filling the mind with haze
It is the soul that touches others blending one another
These written words shall stay in the heart like thunder
Clipping with roaring wonder though your mind
Each placed together as an orchestra of harmony in time
For the shallow mind will only see blank pages
But, a deep mind will see these memories in stages
Created with letters placed together into one melody
With eyes wondering in thought with intriguing meanings
Reading your mind as if you have become one
A simple poem created by a mind with wonder
that being:
You!
I fell in love with him the way
A mother falls for her newborn
Hard, fast and without any inhibitions
Loving completely without conditions
With a love that is alive and essential
Love like this doesn’t come around but once
It happens that I found him in my same town
Alive and willing to give from his heart’s core
Deliverance for me, a promise and a dream
More than a feeling – a feeling that believes
Everything that happens has it’s reason
The reason for this love is given from the Creator
It is love so giving and willing to listen
That brings life to the giver and the receiver
Life that is full of passion rising from forever
Like a tender whisper echoes in the heart
The feelings brought about by his warmth
Were filling me with a sense of purpose and fulfillment
Feelings that were wise, strong and overpowering
Touching me in places I’d never imagined
Heaven knows the spirit’s fire and resilience
The way a shadow of insight fulfills broken promises
Reflecting the sunlight across the blackest nights
Sending a wealth of wisdom through the senses
Gentleness that teaches inspiration has a purpose
A rose in bloom might fade away as petals fall
But a love this strong will grow more intimate
More promising and passionate with the passing
Of time, like a rhyme that needs only be written
Proving the intuition, the vision, of the author
Feelings this clever and wise, so clear they grasp desire
With both hands, both hearts, both hopes, both dreams
Opening up the inner yearnings to be blessed and fortunate
Enough to realize that God has given them a gift that lives
On the inside, where nothing and no one can destroy it
Love is God’s sweetest gift to His children
And I know love like this is timeless, everlasting
A sensation that is adoring, tender and willing
To bring truth into the open where it can be shared
Between two lovers who know love answers prayers!
