Best Transform Poems
Years have come and gone, with softly dancing lights,
Gesturing with wonders, bravely swirling flames,
Changing doubt to faith, remembering Christ’s claims.
Reflecting hope, yearning to still the dark nights.
Years have transformed my heart, feelings, and insights,
Showing me to love, without fear that shames,
Giving and forgiving, not playing mind games.
Sincerely sharing takes your heart to new heights.
Transforming shadows to silhouettes of bliss,
Glittering in hearts, like stars in summer skies,
Promises of peace that summer’s sky won’t miss,
Interpreting dreams who wind’s wrath can’t disguise,
Stirring belief in those who know the soul’s kiss,
Transmutation brings joy, much like love implies.
And so I write…
not for the clamor of being known,
but to keep vigil with what will not be spoken—
those hushed and hollowed spaces
where sorrow gathers like dusk,
unannounced,
unwilling to depart.
I write
to lay gentle witness upon the wound,
to trace its sacred fracture
without flinching from its remembering,
to press my spirit against its quiet architecture
and learn the shape of what endured me.
I write
to consecrate both the breaking and the becoming—
to name the wisdom buried in ruin,
the strange and steadfast grace
that lingers in the aftermath of undoing.
And if truth be told—
I write to recall myself
from the far edges of forgetting.
To gather the scattered fragments of breath and being
and speak them, softly, back into form.
For even here—
in the most forsaken hollows of the soul,
where light feels like a long-abandoned language—
something remains.
Not loud, nor luminous at first glance,
but patient…
and unextinguished.
A quiet and unyielding ember,
veiled beneath the ash of all that was lost,
waiting not for rescue,
but for recognition.
Something that, against all undoing,
still inclines itself skyward—
still remembers the sun
as if it had never been forgotten.
And so I write—
to bear witness to that remembering,
to call it gently by its true name,
to follow its faint and faithful rise
until it becomes light again.
A love that has weathered wild storms
And youth's fierce passion contained
Tender, deeper than lust ingrained
An opened sonnet of life transform
A tapestry still on an open loom
Unfinished here upon this earth
Those golden years, a story of mirth
Their roots deep, fragrant flowers bloom
Two hearts somehow in rapport
Good character, a crown they share
With every gesture and each care
Maybe their overflow will pour
A bond that's never tired nor tire
Their union, an inspiration's theme
A love that's found in every dream
So let us celebrate this pair
Let us, my friends,
transform our hearts into a bountiful garden
where
kindness and love bloom
so as
to enable our souls to be at peace with God
and
with our fellow man!

Transform me Oh Lord into a new creation.
Cover me with grace and mercy each day and night.
Lead me Lord into Thy hands.
Valerie D. Staton
Before you can
Transform the world
First by yourself
Transform yourself
We mourn the dead
But we transform from death
Death is part a cycle of life
Life and love are eternal
The Goddess Moon
The Father Saturn
The Aldebaran Star
Life is part a cycle of death
Mourning and separation are temporal
We celebrate life
Because we transform from death
This was not my imagination
For I was alert and sober,
When I witnessed an odd migration
At midday, in early October
A dying leaf held me in it's spell
Tumbling passed limbs and bark,
Twisting and turning as it fell
And transforming into a monarch
Emerged a newborn butterfly
Just before it hit the ground,
Taking wing toward the sky
Helped by the wind around
Freed from her rooted tree
Let go, like a child's balloon,
A split decision it had to be
With no time for a cocoon
I watched as it beat about
New spots of orange and black,
Confidently and without a doubt
That it would not be coming back
Away she flew up into the sun
And my eyes I tried to shade,
To glimpse before this dream was done
Because in the distance she would fade
Answered were all my quandaries
Before this leaf met the grass,
Proving there are no boundaries
That Mother Nature could surpass
How could she be so agile
Soaring on paper thin wings?,
How something frail and fragile
Could do extraordinary things!
And I am waiting for the ghost of that opaque veil,
called transformation.
one day it will soften into that rock
of dinosaur thoughts,
like mineral olivine as it marches
from feldspar to the finality of quartz,
melting that ancient pattern weary consciousness into the butterfly awakening
of a multidimensional man,
who can only soar
like the eagle.
Jewels from silver and white topaz storms adorn,
flawlessly winterize and brilliantly transform,
as frozen bling of delight and also concern
control our lives during winter's vivacious term.
Winter stole the warmth from your days,
when you were alone in the storm.
But, your real family's bright gaze
is now begging you to transform...
seeds transform to roots
from endings come beginnings
endings produce growth

When my enticed eyes look at you
My heart pulsates with the cadence new
My soul absorbs your essence completely
Suffusing my senses with the feeling of glee.
Your alluring footprints I long to follow
To embrace you all the way I will go
When I feel void and alone, I stand
At the edge of dark horizon in wasteland
You raise for me the scarlet sun high
Forever my love shines in dawn’s colored sky.
In the scorched life listless and inert
When I turn into a dry lake in desert
You bring the soothing rains of bliss
Make within me a sparkling oasis.
Wandering lost in the vale of desolation
I search for the missing passion
In the abandoned channel meandering
You flow the torrent of your yearning
Make a cascading river of desire in me
Surging ebullient to the rapturous sea.
In burnt garden in the summer of despair
When I appear as a rose bud nobody cares
You bring rains and drench me in love shower
Make me blossom as a beguiled radiant flower.

You better go the extra mile
In order to make others smile
Take care how not to be hostile
Help humans to revive
Leave not people to their own fate
With their worst woes, yours you relate
Truly, it’s a wonderful trait
From it, joy you derive
Give confidence to a loser
Transform totally a boozer
Play well the role of a schmoozer
To let mankind survive
Live life to its fullest
Seize the moments along the way
Live your best life…be your best self
Elevate the everyday.
Make a positive impression on others
Don’t fret too much…go with the flow
Offer inspiration and consolation when needed
Be authentic; leave a trail of magic wherever you go.
Embark on the next step of your journey
It’s time to make your move
Where will your footprints lead?
Tell people “watch me” and then get into your groove.
Acknowledge and appreciate your fabulousness
Dream on…have faith and believe
Love without limits…listen to your heart
It’s ok to wear your heart on your sleeve.
Live every day with an open heart
Unique experiences are waiting for you
Welcome the adventures that come your way
Appreciate and love what you do.
Hold fast to what is good
Even when it rains, there will be sunshine when the rain goes away
Find your moment of sunshine
Transform your life in a positive way.
Be a peace seeker… be a peace maker
Remember it’s wonderful to be kind
Be socially conscious and respectful to others
Have a generous heart, a brave spirit, and a clever mind.
Dance to your own songs
Make the most of each and every day
Think enthusiastically about your future
Dream like nothing stands in your way.
Helping to change one’s life can last a lifetime
When you give freely, you grow
You will be everything to the right someone
Choosing to support others can help you find your flow.
Remember that you are an original
Make each day count because when they’re gone, they’re gone
Life…make your mark
Give praise and thanks every day and LIVE ON!
