Best Unclutter Poems

He speaks with measured dignity,
one silent word at a time
His palmetto pen tells us: 
Tune out the cosmic background noise,
and focus your mind
on the sound of the silent voice
You most certainly will hear this ...
... did you hear it?
Oh, perhaps you got distracted by the...

Stop in your tracks

Take a deep breath
Stop and relax

Close your eyes
Exhale a slow deep breath

In your mind’s eye 
It’s early dawn
It’s quiet and serene around you

Look far out at the horizon
There over the peaceful rolling sea
See a fine line of light in the distance

The sun...

Looking outward.
She’s had a hard life, yet can still laugh and smile,
making it look effortless and genuine.
Looking bubbly and youthful, glowing from happiness
like she knows no other way to live.

I’d like to understand -- I really would.
She’s more than a survivor -- she’s a champ.
Looking...

beer bloat
morning after
football Sunday 
am I, or the bar
the consumer
I don't know
I had a good time
shot some pool
cracked some jokes
flirted with girls
not half my age
so vain
so pointless
so fun

journey coming
soon, so
shutting it down
redirecting energy
focus
vision
to what I want more
than football Sunday
a different land
a different people
I hope at...

Think of
You without a
Fogged mind with biases
Unclutter from extra baggage
Start from today to walk to a new hope

Accept bravely your shortcomings 
Is the first step to change 
Your precious life
Do it

So you try to convince me…
….you tell me to make some space
To move at His pace
To slow down
To unclutter
To unwind
To be less busy
And reprioritize
But I have a plan
I’m a man
I know what I want
Where I want to be in ten years
Unlike my peers
I have a...

in hindsight how trivial it seems
workaholic’s constant judging
the need to be in control
striving for lofty standards
of overpriced perfection

the wasted opportunities
to bond with family and friends
and forge lasting memories

missed and gone with the wind
no second chances or redos
time never more precious

life’s a series of new beginnings...

Silence

Silence is the calming after our storm.
It consumes us with fragility of peace.
Within silence we look inward for our truth.
It beckons us not to speak when troubled.
Silence gives us pause as not to speak in anger.
It lets us to smile with our heart without a...

I opened the door
and let the flood roll in
all I said was how are you
a plain simple answer
would have sufficed
but no- here it was
the whole truckload
of ungodly manure
dumped at my feet
piled so high up
my nose and ears 
were full of it
not once but twice
and come...

In the morning, innocent lamb left the farm 
Behind his master, moved to the meadow
A treacherous chapman loomed him
In his purity, he listened to chap’s distorted words
As sweet as honey, they lead him astray his master

Naively, guiltless lamb was led into a deep hole.
Up and...

FLOODED CLOSET

flooded closet,
got your attention?
washer; and dryer
sent to the dungeon, well
the garage. not our fault.
phone call received in ninety-three,
wouldn’t insure us —
the flood, you know…
have you guessed?
previous occupants.
of course a bit of common sense
supported us.

closet contains lots of shelves,
you can climb
to reach
the attic space,
but a...

Fill me with loving strength
cleanse me with understanding,
let me see with your eyes
and feel the love of your soul

Tell me how I can gain your wisdom
for living a better-purposed life,
give me the knowledge of your words
so kindness is always on my lips

Ever-knowing, ever-seeing in you
is...

Breathe; deep breaths, fill your lungs with air,
and feel the tension slip away.
When reality seems unfair,
call time out; you don't wish to play.

Sever your tether to reason;
and drift to the land of pretend.
Meditation is in season;
treat yourself like you would a friend.

Breathe, simply breathe, deeply...
