Best Meditates Poems

Standing all alone in the woods;
eyes shut, I feel the lilting light.
Sun dodges needles through the crown,
beams land on my skin softly so.
Brisk breezes quicken and rustle.
Bristlecone pines ever sway slowly,
while pockets of air blush my cheeks.
Staying stalwart in meditation,
cones crinkling as puffs roll them
gently...

Wanting to shrug off this shell, break loose from me
Silence that damn hermit, hiccuping under his tree
Trapped inside too long, dormancy dreams to wake 
Disgorging bubbly lava, fills in soporific landscapes 

Longing to escape soft tissue, cast off mortal bones 
Break shackles of mundanity, rid...

Blast it bird! Where are ye off to?
Don’t ye know the day is through?

Oh but I’ve a lovely song to sing,
I must ere I do another thing.
To the man in the garden who works with the hoe,
He’s tired and lonely and his heart needs to...

The waves crushing her tiny body with striking blows
White creamy wash caresses her golden skin as the wave slows
Moving sluggishly towards the horizon
Because of a recurring vision she hopes she’ll arise in
Her feet digging deep into the sand as it sinks between her toes
Emersed, with...

To anyone and all
I am awestruck
as I attend
this some-what altered afternoon
altered in a way by
poetic humans
tiny tables among giants on words
sharing all unselfish things as
pen and tea harmonize in their hands.

These peaceful poets including I at this convention
all paired by four
tease time and essence before...

Sycamores certainly speak French, cypresses - ancient Greek, the Old Testament's olives are bilingual: they speak Hebrew and Aramaic. Birch is a Russian tree though growing in Canada. So small and frail (they wither abroad), already gone into a winter trance, she is silent but...

Wicked parrot

sometimes I smile wondering how we were all moulded
With beings calling themselves true worshippers of God 
With this gospel of Christ that was spread by apostles
People led by the Holy Spirit and never loved the world
Thinking deep about this gospel that leads me book of
Psalms...

The sea is beautiful, strange, and mercurial -

tour de force of nature,

since time, immemorial.

A vast mighty ocean, 

when it rises and roars,

fathom upon fathoms

down -

to the sea floor.

 

A friend of the fishermen,

the sea sustains us,

with great gifts from heaven,

yet, sometimes, perilous. 

When storms arise,

the...

Mutiny Of The Mind

Did You Eva Stop to Think
What about tomorrow
What is really on the other-side of today?
Should I force myself to go along
When my insides tell me, things are wrong.?

Did You Eva Stop to Think
Could my life had gone a different way,
If I’d chosen...

The things I've been, the things I have been, the things I am, things I'm to be,
a symbol so dark, a sign so brite, a mark of the heart,
shadow of the soul,
rind of mind,
as the Buddhist meditates on mandalas of rich color,cycles,devas,dangers & devotions
I embrace...

A young girl craving for adventure;
dreams of life in faraway places.
And listens for whispers in the wind;
matching sounds with customs and faces.

She meditates on the beach at dusk,
watching sunbeams gild a golden sea.
And as Night's shadow envelops her,
her inquisitive spirit feels free.

She indulges in fantasy...

Rose quartz reposes
in peridot buds
Jade trees dangle
Ruby Reds
Unafraid 
lapis jays swoop
on a topaz cat
with emerald eyes
lazing
under a citrine sun 
Amethyst iris preen
through amber rays
of afternoon 
the shadow 
of a moon stone
whispering
behind an aquamarine sky
A silent pool meditates
in turquoise
