Best Refreshed Poems

I really wanted, a refreshing day
Thinking to myself, what was the best way
First some cold water, I splashed on my face
Evidence of sleep, vanished without a trace
I felt my pores shrink, my eyes came awake
Brrr I was so cold, I started to shake

Perhaps a warm...

I rode across the arid desert dunes
Until I came to her oasis
Where greedily I drank
From the deep emerald pools of her eyes.

Look out o'er the water
   thoughts ebb and flow
Stroll down the boardwalk
   miles and miles to go

Reflect and refresh to
   water's eddies and time 
Seeking new rivulets
   of rhythm and rhyme...

A
Brilliant
burst of light
dawns a new day
The present moment
hides the treasure of life
Yesterday is now past tense
The future is beyond our reach
Sunrise breathes refreshed expectations
as we rise to meet the hope that it holds
God's mercies are new each day we awake
Believe in the promise the new...

Fresh memory of first love never fades away
Old memory is like flowers smelt yesterday.

After very long time, I took out my suite
Cornered in the wardrobe on a hanger.
I found a long familiar hair in the collar
That curly hair of a beauty who drew me to...

The dawn comes each day
Barefoot outside my window
With fresh refreshed light...

Centuries wade
Waves cascade
Rippling remorse
Runs it course
Weathering force
Distant source
Beneath the surface
Undercurrent
Cleansing extinct
Purities obsolete
Blood allege
Evolved allergy
Seventy percent
Of existence
Lies in waste
Rust filled taste
Chemical imbalance
Toxic rain
Can’t complain
Better to remain
Corrosive cold
Wetted earth
Dying of thirst
Poison dew stain
Evidence on the pane
We’ve not long to stay...

Spirit travels in brown stained 
Cool water, spirit birthing
Energy to all living 
Little fish, medium fish, large fish swim

Deer come to fill from brown stained
Running water, racoon drinks
Dragonfly hovers like a
Helicopter_drinks fill, spirit refreshed

Waking up in the morning
Jumping in the shower
To refresh myself
To wash off all the Anger,
Lies,
Guilt,
Pain.
That I have tortured myself with

Hopping out and drying myself off
Clothing myself in Hope,
Faith,
Trust,
Joy.

Getting ready to face a new day
Free of Stress
Free of Remorse

My conscience is clear,

I am now refreshed!...

Another tide comes over me
and washes me under as simply as a feather in the wind
It grasps me with the strongest grip
and I'm greatful for this sand in my eyes
and the flow of silky softness against my skin
The sun has scorched my flesh
and I'm rinsing...

The joy of the Lord has

The peace of the Lord

The love of the Lord

The gifts of the Lord are

I was convinced that the spirit left me 
couldn`t drink my Pepsi
thinking I was poisoned by the Nesle 
gotta get that sugar cane
gunna get some crooked fame
I`m to blame
Runnin` up this hill like I`m game
Say it plain
God in heaven came to make rain
My brain
Feels restored...

SOUL    REFRESHED



Maple tree taps at my  window to talk 
Inviting me to walk 
In the leafy woodland  lane.
My soul  is made  whole again 
Simply refreshed walking  this glade:
Why is the accordion’s singing  glad ?
Because the accordionist...

Beyond Despair

          heavy, discordant
    stomping, injuring, impeding
