Best Restfulness Poems
The noise was still & silencing
As it echoed around the room.
And into the blindness of the dark night
I felt myself fall deeply into a minds peaceful, calm vacuum.
As distant farout whispers, became voices
Which I could faintly hear.
In foggy misted apparitions
That slowly did appear.
So mesmerised in my calmness, peace of being
In my life well overdue.
& into its pure calmin serenity,
I let my mind flow freely in its pursue.
I began to remember old values
That I'd lost along errors of lifes paths
In a time I'd let myself fall victim to its evil preying
Of a hatred in self loathings wrath's.
But now lost in the freedom of escapism
Within my mind I'm freely set to roam.
Around the unknown calms of unknown territories
Where I've never felt to be more of being at eases home.
I began rememberingmany lost memories
That my past had let my mind in sadness be replaced.
Where all happiness & self worthin essence
By sins of the devils wraths & sadness had then replaced.
This was a time of much needed restfulness
Thatmy life had needed for so long.
To put to right the errors of past mistakes
And in a world again to feel I truly did belong.

Restfulness breathes love
Heart and pulse pulsates like stars
Aglow
With serenity.
Love lets you listen
You'll reach out and touch someone
Cause
Love in action rules.
Love wait and look deep
A treasured thing breathes passion
And
Inspires more love.
Love is boundless sea
A reservoir vast and free
Yet
Ebbing and flowing.
Love is rain and pain
Sunshine and moon glow it brings
So
Together we bloom.
Love is light measure
heavy dark clouds roll on by
So
You feel energized.
Love's portion is treat
Sugar blues is way too sweet
So
Guard your appetite.
Love is light and life
It will never weigh you down
No
It won't make you frown.
Love will wake you up
Invite you on its journey
With
Light measure of weight.

They call it the Sunday Scaries
They call it the Bubble Visualisation Exercise
I felt the polished wood of my table
The softness of my son's hair
My pencil snapped when I started my Gratitude Journal
Turn to the person next to you and tell them about a teacher
As loud as God unzipping his fly
Sat in the back not being able to find the steering wheel
They laughed
They were charmed
The shapes of stories
The shapes of restfulness and well-being
My son is playing piano as I write this
I'm going to stop writing
If this isn't nice, I don't know what is

As riverbank swivels
on deepened water floor
with ripples of fine air
its movement quivering…
like tidal sways, the route
a junction, long mile.
Finding restfulness
that cuddles heaved turns
to soak every wend
moist with finesse… she
glides in rhapsody.
Sea gracing hours
across bright lune,
her flesh of tones
imbues quiet.
Then to grant
nature's flow
sacred psalms
Gentle…
through soft
dips

Diminished Hexaverse
This love for you brings out a million tears,
When you left me with a doubtful promise;
That you will be back so I'll never miss,
The things we shared for a couple of years.
But fate provided me nothing but fears
For your advent’s impossible to please
Even if I pray, beg down on my knees
Your voice, so sweet, again cannot be hears.
So I lift up with smile, tears in my eyes
Reminiscing the presence of your love
Hoping for the chance this life had given
While gazing peacefully at the blue sky
‘cause I know that you’re watching from above,
smiling with restfulness there in heaven.

Restfulness was for the body's good,
bright and lively are the roses;
my aria has powerful tones!
Martha smiles, today she's dressed in red;
she invites me in to taste her sweet bread!

Limerick
Abounding with God's provisions, I thank Him for blessings He enables me to share:
Assurance of the Almighty's affection
Bliss bestowed for building-up best
Compassion midst caring concern
Delights from day’s duties
Enthusiasm empowering endeavors...
Faith fortifying fervor to fight fears
Gifts* of goodness and grace
Hope with health’s happy hoisting
Illumination from inspiring instructors
Joy along jubilant journey...
Kindness keeping kinship keys
Love lighting, lifting up lessons learned
Mercy magnifying miracles' might
Nurture of nursing nourishment
Opportunities for output-optimization...
Peace along prayers with Providence presence
Quietness against qualms and questions
Replenishment with restoration toward restfulness
Songs of sweetness settling silence-stillness
Triumph of thanksgiving through toiling...
Urge upheld by usefulness-utilization
Vision of the victor to vanquish vanity
Wisdom of words and worth of work
X anadu ‘xperience and xenial ‘xposure
Yes-yells with yeah-yowls for eternal yon
Zest to zoom zealously toward success-zenith.
*Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Repeatedly
It's love suggesting:
"Never mind certain things."
Fire and ice, and breezy rain, and dust,
They are not false
And it is true, God is...

Dramatic Verse
The vague patrolling recollection
sits like a fat white swan on her nest,
cuddling the unborn nakedness, fragile, soundless!
He caresses her wings,
she beats them frantically
as his cold old lips meshes and folds.
Dragging, he goes, she crackles
to the red-stained woods, painted
lovingly with millions that entered before.
His touch blackens and grips
She feeds on youths she hid in her thoughts,
Their time winding down, seconds after seconds.
And with the rage of Moses’s staff,
the loud shed quivers and her incantation feathered gown
sweeps in the red wind. Done, revelation!
The decapitated fowl runs in the eye of a God.
The red man ascends like Lazarus
coming, coming for the next victim of his plague.
Inside my coldness, I feel warmness,
I feel restfulness, I am papery and ready
for his touch of death. Thanks giving to clouds.

COME FLUTTERING WORDS, COME DRIFTING WORDS TO ME
When I in sweet repose lie still,
And restfulness surrounds me,
Come fluttering words, come drifting words,
Come drifting words to me.
Come fluttering down and drifting 'round,
And playfully surround me,
As I walk dark streets of town,
With midnight's cloak about me.
Come fluttering words, come drifting words,
Come drifting words to me,
As I wonder, deeply ponder,
What those words might be.
I wander through the garden,
I stop beside the door.
I wait beside the fountain,
For the words so sweet and pure.
It's here that I am happy.
My heart and soul can sing,
As the words come drifting to me,
My spirit lifts, takes wing.

June 3 Scripture Meditations Based on Psalms 130-134
Key Verse – Psalm 130:2 LORD, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR BEING ATTENTIVE TO ME
Thank You for being attentive to me and to my supplication
With Your ears hearing my voice of frustration
For I cry unto You in the depths of despair’s oppression
Truly confident of Your comfort’s provision.
Thank You for being attentive to me and to my fearfulness
With Your concern offering peace and restfulness
For I hide in You midst trials’ fierceness
Truly aware of Your security’s protectiveness.
Thank You for being attentive to me and to my repentance
With Your forgiveness stressing sanctification’s importance
For I seek You along guilt’s resistance
Truly mindful of Your mercy’s assistance.
Thank You for being attentive to me and to my plight
With Your help showing Your might
For I come unto You in heavenly flight
Truly armed with Your victory’s fight.
Thank You for being attentive to me and to my needs
With Your promise assuring me Your daily feeds
For I abide in You around Your Bible creeds
Truly grateful for Your miracle’s deeds.
Thank You for being attentive to me and to my request
With Your answers granting Your very best
For I wait on You against doubts that infest
Truly settled in Your wonder’s nest, along graciousness’ nest at faith’s crest.

Rhyme
writing poetry lifts me
to the gates of windsong
frees my soul,
on birdwing rides
fills me to the length
and breadth
of abstract….
subconscious contact
breathes an aire
of restfulness
Quiet solitude of bliss
in frustration of word search
I am word,
without which - - - nothing
pure and literative
strongly figurative
give me space
to hang my thoughts….
to pen my happiness
with illustration
let me mark the wall
with distinction
my oath upon
the words cast
molded in perfection
they hang between
naught and forever
poked and prodded
dissected, preserved
in absentia
mocked, lauded
and analyzed
thoroughly washed in
dross opinion
sliding on gilded
tongues of imperfection
laid to rest in halls
of resurrection
waiting for revival
in wordsong
