Best Spread Poems
Your warmth
Spread it all around!
When the world feels cold
To the touch
Your beautiful shining spirit
Spread it all around!
So a dim world shines
Just as bright
Your happiness
Spread it all around!
In this sad world and give it
A smiling face
Your knowledge
Spread it all around!
To enlighten, to inform
To persuade
Your generousity
Spread it all around!
And grateful hearts
Will joyously sing
Your kindness
Spread it all around!
Good karma will spring back
To you, like....
A boomerang!

Be it half, or be it full
Rainbows are just so beautiful
An angel's slide, God's beautiful art
Butterflies seem to take colors from this cart
It is the smile of the rain with the rays of sun
It proves to dark times that happiness won
Nature's lovely band decorates the sky
A belt of colors, that are painted so high
It brings a big smile on each one's face
VIBGYOR we say colors we can feel
Rainbows spread joy and that too for free!

Remind me of darkness and I'll remind you of the light
Remind me of weakness and I'll remind you how to fight
Remind me with hell and I'll remind you with heaven
Remind me of the dead and I'll remind you of the living
Remind me of sadness and I'll remind you of happiness
Remind me of sickness and I'll remind you of wellness
Remind me of your wounds and I'll remind you how to heal
Remind me of emptiness and I'll remind you how to feel
Remind me of the end and I'll remind you of the start
Remind me of your torturing soul and I'll remind you of your beating heart
Remind me of mistakes and I'll remind you how to be forgiven
Remind me of greed and I'll remind you of giving
Remind me of devil and I'll remind you of God
Life ain't always fair and ain't always good but always remind yourself to see the bright side

Spread your wings and take a chance,
fully partake of life's ephemeral dance.
Don't give in to doubts and fears,
or you'll be left with regrets and tears.

Spread, your wings and soar on high, stretch forth beyond the particle's in
the sky. Rest on a large branch, look down at the creature's of blacks and
white's. Blackbird ain't its enough to make you cry. Crime soaring high, WHY-
why Blackbird why? No one knows, no-one dare steps forth his best. NOoooo
Black bird they're to busy pointing finger's, they rather listen to the voice of
the confused "stranger". A voice that tells them, take prayers away from school's,
take away their happiness, now the grave yards are full of young one's, some
in jail, to never see success. Soar on Blackbird, fly high and don't dare sit to long.
You see blackbird, the black's doesn't know the song and the whites want's to be
left along.
Spread your wings-my fowls of the air we all must share, as you fly blackbird, as
you are trying to accept the lost and the found, spread your wings Blackbird, we're
not all bad people's. Its just that we're too busy trying to tare each other down.

If I follow my faith and you yours
Yours as mine teaches only love
Love one another and live in peace
Peace to pursue happiness wherever;
Wherever you go, light a candle
Candle of warm love and peace
Peace with people of many creeds
Creeds, their cultures and values;
Values to respect the sanctity of life
Life to lead on a path to harmony
Harmony of all mankind with nature
Nature to nurture the God’s gift;
Gift of flora, fauna and the firmament
Firmament and its laws and its vastness
Vastness to encompass the eternity
Eternity encased in a grain of sand.

Sir Tom it seems you are the peoples leader
Your Marmite army fierce and brave
Our battle at Tastebud Hill
Revealed my Vegemite soldiers weak and afraid
Your leadership is superior
Though your cause extremely poor
You may have won “this” battle
But you haven’t won the war!!
So , I will retreat for now…..
However, Sir Tom watch your back
Be aware the Vegemite Queen will return
With an unexpected ,stronger attack!!!

Sometimes I've stopped and wondered
As I write from day to day
To spread ones wings and fly
And let the anew have their say
There are so many horizons
In the distance of our lives
To spread ones wings and fly
Where new writing newly strives
Audiences abound our globe
Where fresh learning's can be found
To spread ones wings and fly
Maybe there's a common ground
Topics to capture young thoughts
Like fantasy and the dark
To spread ones wings and fly
It would be churlish not to be a part
To write and grow with tomorrows kind
Is to enjoy the enriching road
To spread ones wings and fly
And settle into a new abode
Writers and poets so
Are to be read, and to aim for print
To spread ones wings and fly
And capture the readers glint
Sometimes I've stopped and wondered
More so, very recently
To spread ones wings and fly
And to find where ones writings to be

Bury me not to rot deep in the bowels of earth,
all alone in the cold, silent, dank wetness of dirt.
For the very first day I awoke before birth
I was floating in the warm sea of the womb, so alert
to my mother's warm body fluid, soothing and supporting.
Bobbing and rocking, caressed by her comforting
touching of me, and her soft muffled words and lullabies,
I was carried in her womb until my birth's surprise and cries.
At my demise, burn my body, scatter my ashes far out to sea
so they can bob and rock, floating in sheer delight and glee
at being back in a womb, back in the sea, where I want to be.

~Spread Love~
(Monchielle)
Spread love in the whole world
You can feel it within
Love just keeps on giving
Sow seeds of love everywhere
Praise God for all blessings
Spread love in the whole world
God gives us love for free
In hearts love brings a song
His love can give you peace
Love makes a heart grow strong
Spread love in the whole world
Love God and seek Him first
His way is best for you
Love heals a heart that hurts
Feel and share His love too
Spread love in the whole world
Advocate love not war
With love to people talk
Experience His love too
In his love do the walk.

How does one know what they are capable of
unless they try?
I stepped on many toes until I found my rhythm
and groove.
I burnt a lot of food before I actually made
something edible.
Many folks want to fly like a pro, but their
wings aren’t fully developed yet.
Crawl first, you will walk in due time, everyone
are at different stages in life.
Don’t let fear paralyze you not to follow your
dreams, let it be a motivator.
Don’t compare yourself with another; you will
know when it's your time to fly.

And I spread my wings
To new beginnings
Butterfly, I flit,
Am not gonna quit,
Flying up above,
Moving on with love,
Rising 'bove the stars,
Reaching toward Mars,
To new horizon,
My flight is risen,
And I spread my wings,
My heart leaps and sings,
Crossing boundaries,
New prospects I tease,
Far future's now mine,
In success, I shine,
What scope I have got,
To try out my lot,
So here's to my wings,
And carefree heartstrings.

As Deep Darkness Its Rabid Cloak Around Me Spread
As deep darkness its rabid cloak around me spread
Dark shadows raced to their images thus display
They that were so bleach white, those old skeletal dead
Thought to play with me and have their damnable way
Yet, my father had in fighting taught me so well
My valiant heart had strength, vigor and valor too
Yes, I had been cast into the devils unholy hell
But this amateur lad, had some fine grand tricks new.
No fighting soul can win if faith is not in its brave head.
There in seething darkness, fear's breath began to blow
Short greenish puffs that transformed into savage beasts
With wicked claws and fierce red eyes that did so glow
And their own gold table lay human head for their feast
In the distant corner lay a long gold hilted sword
In a quick flash it was mine in my eager hand
Then newest beast spoke, come on I am growing bored
Lets kill this old weak flesh and go ravage across his land.
No fighting soul can win if faith is not in its brave head.
With that I quickly lunged forward and off came its head
And its huge body collapsed into a hairy mess
Next the far lesser beasts for dear mercy each then plead
And even the smaller ones their wicked sins confess
Only beast left, a three headed snake with poison tails
And I could easily hear its deep cast dark curses said
All began with evil prayers beseeching dark lord of hell
And next came the hateful cries of the murderous dead.
No fighting soul can win if faith is not in its brave head.
