Best Look Into Your Heart Poems
You never really knew the beauty of your soul.
Of how it is possible to be both old and young
within the same body that tells about the years past,
but can put to shame so many of today’s indolent youth.
How were you able to retain such innocence,
for only a child can categorically say such abhorrence
of one type of food even with the knowledge that it is good?
Yet words of deep understanding pour forth from the same mouth.
When the gift to listen was showered upon the earth
you must have paid attention, for you have it in abundance
“To hear is normal, to listen, a gift, to understand...a miracle”*
One who would care to keep these words would understand. You do.
You are sensitive. Who would have thought it so?
You have that amazing capacity to command words to your bidding
and just the right touch of irreverence to twist them when it suits you.
Still and all, you feel the wound deeply and I’d hate to be the cause of it.
I tried to look into your heart through your words.
Words which were already read by many before I entered the scene
yet they did not see the sadness, the dark that lurked in the corner of your light -
They were too mesmerized by the laughter, to see the crosses in your eyes.
*John W. Wulf, author of the book The Lady Who Loves the Whisper

I would like to show you something
That your eyes can not see
It will give you a sense of feeling
Allowing your thoughts to run free
I want you to look within yourself
Only as a simple earthly being
Look into your heart for passion
Where destiny fulfills your dreams
We are here to gain enlightenment
That we may pass onto others
Not to fill this world with hate
Nor to judge one another
Through this forever endless search
Of needless earthly things
We can choose faith,hope and love
To surpass all earthly dreams
It matters not the type of pillow
You may lay your head upon
A gift of love was given to all
That shall forever carry on
Never worship those who enlighten you
Only the true creator of all things
For with his gift of a soul within us
He communicates through our dreams
Dan Kearley:2-21-13
If they could look into your heart
and see what I see when I read
your awesome poetry,
they would never stop
telling you, what an amazing
person you are.
If they could see your love for God
they would see the person who is
at least trying to be a better person
then they would never stop
apologising for not noticing
before now.
If they walked one day in your
shoes they would feel the pain
you feel, cry the tears you shed
and never ever let one more day
go by without telling you
you are the best.

For Cathie Lindsey's Contest
It's All About Me
1st
(The instructions of this contest were to write lyrics to fit the music of this song)
VERSE A
Oh I know I promised I'd never leave
I'd always stay by your side
Tho' Heaven has taken me, Love, please don't grieve
For that oath, I still abide
I know our nighttime came much too soon
But I'll light your dark with the stars and the moon
And when you feel alone
Just look up to the sky
And I'll be right here
CHORUS 1
You'll see my smile in faces that greet you
You'll know my words in songs that you hear
And every time your heart beats
I'll be speaking to you
In the voice of your soul
That I'm always here
VERSE B
Oh I'll be the sunbeams to kiss warm your cheek
The raindrops to wash it if tears start to streak
And when you feel alone
Just look into your heart
And I'll whisper to you
That I'm always here
CHORUS 2
My gaze will be the eyes of our children
My joys will be their laughter and cheer
And every time that you blink
I'll be winking at you
With a message our own
That I'm always here
VERSE C
Oh death can't divide us our love is too strong
I'll be here beside you 'til your years grow long
And when you close your eyes
For the very last time
I will rock you to sleep
For I'll be right here
I love you, my darling, I'm always right here.

When the sun drops out of sight
On a full moon night
When the moon shines so bright
All across the night
With God creating this amazing sight
When we are able to just walk all through the night
Without any synthetic light to find our way
Then I think how God has put his blessings on display
In the most powerful way
Satan promises to take all that light away
If man should choose to play his way
Darkened like a no moon night
Your world plunged into fright
To spend eternity without light
That brings Gods world into sight
Gods people know the bible is right
The ones left sitting on the fence uptight
knowing deep inside
That Satan has taken you for a ride
Gods open arms waiting for all
Who will hear his mighty call
That do not wish to fall into the bowels of hell
Where your loved ones won't hear you yell
The smell of death and destruction
Will be your only smells
Satans trickery so full of lies
Trying to bring the world to its demise
It's never too late to demonstrate
Until now you were dealing with a fake
Our God who controls our fate
Will never make you wait
Look into your heart he is never far apart
Tell him you wish to be a part of his kingdom
That leads us to freedom
When we receive God into your heart
Then your life won't come apart
He gives us a fresh new start
Like a shooting dart
He will take Satan completely apart
In your new life, he restarts the important parts
Know the peace he brings
Every time he swings his might
He will light every step of your way
So you no longer will fear
The day when he will be coming back here
To deal with Satans hellish atmosphere
The time is near
He is waiting to hear from you today
So when you pray be sure to say
God is the light that lights up the night
He is the one to show you way
And that does not change
From day to day
You stand now on the threshold;
It shouldn't be too long.
Till you're a man, my Grandson;
Valiant, tall and strong.
But there are many choices;
In our country brave and free.
We wait and watch and wonder
Who you will decide to be.
Will you find that you are happy?
Will others think you're kind?
When you look into your heart
Just what is it will you to find?
Will you help feed those who are hungry?
Will you help those who are weak?
With a heart full of compassion?
Is it Christ that you will seek?
You are loved my dear sweet Grandson;
You are far more than you know;
But you must decide;
The way you will go.
There choices that are yours alone;
And soon we shall see;
It's up to you in manhood;
To decide who you will be.
When I look into your eyes
I see my precious child
When I look into your heart
I see the love you have for me
When I watch your hands move
I see my grace and mercy flow out
When I watch your feet move
I see an army of angels walking this land
When I work through your eyes
I show you a need
When I work through your heart
I see your heart filled with compassion
When I work through your hands
I see the faith you have in Me
When I work through your feet
I see a companion walking beside a lonely friend
Look into your heart and I'll be there
When you feel lost and alone you will find I'll always care
In your dreams I will come to you
And be there as long as you want me to
My love for you will withstand all time
And your heart will always be together with mine.
The road of life can be hard to bear,
but look into your heart and don't despair.
For God loves you each daughter and son,
no matter what you have done.
His spirit guides you through day and night,
look inside yourself you will see his light.
In your darkest hour bow your head and pray,
and he will help you find a way.
JSergi
To speak a truthful opinion correctly dressed
attacked by false faces clearly visible hate
trying to shut down facts crying victim's
Judgemental liars falsely claiming right's
let's look into your heart and see who pulls the strings
Firstly you support human sacrifice
from there on in everything uttered is cornered
becoming a lost cause when it boils down to lecturing
shape shifting words that overturn
the righteousness of our cause and beliefs
Worthless views push agendas overshadowing the truth
then with branding irons enslaving good values
biting with venom hook line and sinker
taking a back seat as you begin war cursing honesty
This battlefield lawless in its behavioural patterns
accuses those caring virtues of being on the opposite side of the coin tossed here where wisdom holds ground
when clearly they are spinning out of control
condemning those of us trying to save them
This split in the tongue clearly is trapped morally corrupted
begging your forgiveness under blindness
take a long hard look in the mirror reflection bitterness
we are all sinners at the end of the day
a firm purpose of amendment brings you closer to the light
Look into your heart and there you will see
That the truth's not really that very far,
The hopes and needs that you consistently
Deny and hide from, make up who you are.
Reasons for life are not found in a star,
You were made to be with God forever,
And the search ends.... when you meet the Savior.
Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~03.26.16

or a tercet and two couplets - aba, bb, cc).
In the warmest of weather and harshest of conditions
lives a special rose
You see... she carries herself with a smile
everywhere she goes
It's peace she seeks to make
between every woman and man
and even for the youngsters
who yet to understand...
that this world that we live in
can be more than endless war
it can be love amonsgst brothers and sisters
where peace is an even score
The message that this desert rose has
is a simple one for you
that if you look into your heart
you can be a special rose too
I hung my verses in the wind,
time and tide their faults may find . . .
. . . . . Ralph Waldo Emerson, Poet
________________
As my eyes drop,
I look into my weeping heart,
and send words adrift in time and tide.
I, a ship that through,
the ocean glides,
seeking a secret star to guide the way.
The storms of life,
has shadowed my journey,
off course, roaming, far adrift and lost.
I float in darkness,
and hidden are the perils,
my aching tears become part of the mist.
Yet, I still have hope,
that life will be bright again,
with lovely lights instead of deep grief.
My verses floating,
my words a secret trembling,
with only time and tide as their destiny.
"Fool!" said my Muse to me,
"look into your heart and write!"
. . . . .Sir Philip Sidney, Poet

She paid her respects to the maven as she worshiped in a manner most graven.
Her prayers were sublime, while she looked for a sign with an offering placed in a basin.
Hands held to her chest as she wished to be blessed, while the leader frowned in her direction.
Her thoughts pondered gloom in the cool, darkened room to strengthen her newfound connection.
Impressed with her new independence, she reveled with increased persistence.
Her journey became a sweetness to claim great success with a wonderful fragrance.
This pleasant adventure did forcefully bring her along with its power to hasten
A change to her person which tended to worsen, becoming what good people chasten.
While receiving a sinister gladness, she felt something leave her with sadness.
Her feelings embraced a commitment of haste to enter the place most call badness.
Inner peace now departed. Her new life had faltered, succumbed to the forces of evil.
Perplexities grew as she failed to see through her decision to worship the devil.
Anxieties met no resistance as they penetrated deep without hindrance.
So with happiness gone, she was left with no one to give her much needed assistance.
She now was distraught to the point where she thought that living lacked purpose and meaning.
So she took her own life with a sharp kitchen knife, which showed how depressed was her feeling.
Now reader be wise, pay attention; to the life of the maiden in question.
She sought to be free from her anxiety, which led to her fatal decision.
Look into your heart to prepare a fresh start and focus on a brand new beginning.
Know love is the cure that will help you endure a long life with a much better ending.
Isn’t birth precious?
As a child,
You followed your heart
Without much thought
And let your life live:
Without confusion and fear,
With curiousness and alertness,
Not knowing that you don’t know much.
There was joy
And enormous spirit
In you.
As an adult,
You are following your mind
To win someone’s thought
And let your life live:
With confusion and fear,
Without enthusiasm and feeling,
Not knowing that you are unique.
Working on things,
Knowing, you don’t know much.
Heart has become heavy,
Leaving you in melancholy.
Is this the he[art] of living?
There is no joy
In your eyes
And the radiance is lost,
What you had in your birth,
The gift of God.
Take a moment,
Look into your heart,
Stop listening to your thought,
Heart waiting for your YES
To let you know,
You know something unique.
To take your
Passion and ambition,
To the world.
To fade your grudges free
And lets you
be a dynamic You.
There will be happiness
In your journey,
Failures will not stop you,
Success will not leave you alone.
Your eyes will be full
Of radiance and ever be curious.
Be Dynamic
And
Live Now!
