Contemplate Poems

Life's Journey

If you look too hard you will not see
If you talk too much you will not hear
If you think too much you will not learn
If you walk too fast you will not arrive
If you are true to yourself you will be content
You will unlock the secret door

A good day to contemplate Australia wide' they shall celebrate

Soon will dawn Australia day.' A date on the calender some
Pages away..Its the first poem from me, on this holiday
In the past I was not one (for its celebration lets say?) Yet
Decades have sifted me.' Experience has shifted me.! I
Feel for the past though I will say.' It has been a hard go! and
Most challenging

Winter's Rain

The first winter’s rain
Brings in the chill in the air
The sun hides behind the overcast sky
Playing hide and seek with the grey clouds
A gust of wind whooshes through the trees
The cold weather is set to begin
I wrap myself in a blanket in bed
Reading a novel with a mug of coffee in hand
Untimely rain brings us

To Contemplate Mortality

     Life has its ups and downs
        its highs and lows
     Barren stretches
        endless plateaus 

     News of births bring renewal
        those

Contemplate
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

And did mine mind
wander to places be
on leaving grey mouths
behind back home
now alone ..
still I sit at a lake
in the park 
named consolation
and contemplate ..
watching calm silver water
sliver into small waves.
I am in quiet ponder time
and wonder home.
The lake is noiseless 
inert and filled with placid art
There is bird and tree diverse
in a landscape

Contemplate

Think accurately
Prefer not to choose guesswork
Wins absolutely.

Life Is a Dancing Frequency

Life is a dancing frequency
and being off key
can cost you to lose your soul 
and return back to the abyss.
Nothing can escape the void.
Unless, you stare it in the eyes 
and it stares back.
And then what?

Be Bold!

Be Brave!

Be Fearless!

Have Courage!

And, if you stare long enough.
Victory shall be yours.
Then you too, shall say: Let there be

We For a Moment No Longer Contemplate Death

We For A Moment No Longer Contemplate Death

Solitudes, please I beseech thy soft calming breath
In Nature I yearn a cool breeze and quiet hour
We for a moment no longer contemplate death
And beloved Spring dares to gift us a shower.

Let's pray for a calm life, love and leisurely sit
As the green grasses lounge in silent fortitude
That

The River of Life

I wish I could immerse myself 
in the pages of history, time, 
and deep reflection...letting go 
of everything I think I know 
and give myself another chance 
to clarify my perceptions and beliefs
in the river of life that flows.  

If only I could turn back time 
and start my life over again, I would

I Cannot Contemplate a Child

In every man, there is a child.--Santosh Kalwar

I cannot contemplate a child--
His essence is much too complex;
Though I look deep into his eyes,
His soul I cannot fathom yet.
Suffice it, thus, that this I know:
A child lives on in every man.

Derelict

He walks with a limp, dog in tow,
lives on streets, 'neath an azure sky
says, "Morning," with smiles as he goes
Wears logo, "Like you, I could fly."
but people compartmentalize.
He's  one of the derelict crowd,
some say they must be disallowed.
Kindness calls us to  contemplate
what they go through, no longer proud
with mishaps, we may own same

Contemplate

That I could soar and glide effortlessly
o'er snow-capped colossal mountains,
watch my visionary dreams pile up and up,
contemplate the winding harrowing paths
that led to chilly but charming cascades,
with their aquatic pleasures, all exquisite bliss.
 
How my exuberant heart would delightfully sigh
like a whispering zigzagging mountain breeze!
Would it lose its rhythmic beat, as it grows taut with

Contemplate

Nothing is seen when the darkness abounds
to cover the lamp that hangs in the soul
and brings confusion that often confounds
when life gathers a storm out of control
free the mind, contemplate what is real
with inner visions of understanding
subdue what the mind may want to conceal
and hold each thought of gloom from expanding
reach for peaceful thoughts that

Contemplate

Quiet pieces of my heart, fragile
Delicate like silk or hope,
Betray the breath of my past,
Aching through the flames
Burning away my disgrace, my shame
Lifting doubt from the shadows

Gentle stars reflect my soul, shimmering
Like laughter from the sun,
Beaming down, erasing the clouds
Creating beauty from the darkness,
Promising faith to always believe
In the wonders that my soul receives

Distant thunders

Contemplate On This

Consider if space is an entity
Within whose womb we grow
Clearing debts of love we owe
Until we vaporise ego identity

That within which forms exist
Is propelled by a higher power
God bestowing a bliss shower
Fulfilment if we cease to resist

God then beyond space time
Represents the ultimate reality
Transcending manifest duality
Heaven toward which we climb
