Best Spirit Poems

Island Spirit

Palm trees are swaying island style
Within the gentle trade wind's flow,
As Egrets glide on salty air—
Then land where verdant grasses grow.
Breathe in sweet scents of tuberose
And let fine mist caress your face,
Dive deep into aqua waters—
Become enchanted with this place.

Let your eyes consume the...

In Dreams, Her Spirit Sallied Forth: with Lin Lane

Through frigid months, she waited for Spring rains
to give relief and ease heartbroken pains,
Nature will award that which Life commands
placing her true love, in its gentle hands.
O'sweet promise of passion's fine delights,
candlelight dinners and intimate nights.

With eager...

last thing I remember is the look upon his face
shot him dead right where he stood then left without a trace 
killed a man while robbing his white castle for some change 
if I could I'd take it back my life I'd rearrange 

(chorus)

as I...

Don't let him sway you with his sultry rhymes
Don't let him woo and steal your heart away
Don't let him touch your soul with soulful lines
You know, my dear, he only wants to play

Don't let him tell you that you are divine
Don't let him make you...

"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmastime."   - Laura Ingalls Wilder

The Christmas spirit can be heard.
Heard in sounds like choirs singing,
Singing carols...

Two worlds come together 
As sweet music flows gently
leads into a different zone
One circle of a heartbeat skips
A single moment our life changed forever

Paradise simply exists golden delicious 
Hidden from this world one bounty feast
Life every ounce trusting one promise living
Although at times some tears...

women of dusk and dawn
who love to feast on their senses
in a banquet ripened by love and courage,
chilled to last till the moonlight
bequeaths more hours for stories
about earth's flesh...

oh, let the first drone of music
praise the female spirit voluptuous
as hips sashay in gaiety wildly wet,
empresses...

Aloha Spirit

Sol, with his golden crown, greets me each morning
within divine rays extending out over emerald hills
and valleys that absorb his warmth of abiding light.

View misty alabaster clouds turn from twilight's purple
into softest rose just before golden regal rays emerge
calling forth fowl to take flight...

Beware the morning tiger
Before his first coffee
     Look out for the afternoon lizard:
     Ectotherm on the sidewalk soaking in other people’s acknowledgement
          On occasion I’m a hummingbird

+Her Spirit Sublime+


She knelt in God's marble chapel, in her uniform.
A suit of deep,forest green with fresh white blouse 
honoring God, her King.


So young, she bowed her shiny brunette head in reverence,
Hearing the robins sing, that teenage spring, singing 
in angelic consonance.


Her prayerbook of black leather,...

Many, many years ago
when everything was new
There lived a lovely butterfly
her wings of brightest blue
Every day was happy as 
she fluttered all around
Visiting each precious bloom
the gardens they were found

Till one long day by courier
a message she received
The news was far from happy
now causing her...

What color are you?
You! You! You! You! You! You! I could do this all day. Smirk.
I am not talking about hair color, eye color, or skin color.
I am not talking about teeth color, or freckle color or fingernail color.
I am talking about soul color.

Soul color...

The darkest hour comes with pain that's insane,
Excruciating, unrelenting pain.
The sobbing and gasping are so abrupt.
The heart is broken; the body gives up.

The darkest hour tries to take full control,
Searching through the suffering for the soul.
Disillusioning evil tells a lie.
“Death will set you free, so...

When I awake to dawn’s light
I long to pray for God’s insight
For His grace through the day
And mercy to help me along my way

When I feel alone and afraid
I go to God with all my thoughts
Reach out to Him with sincerity
And He always answers reassuringly

When...
