Elevation Poems

Self-discovery

Self-discovery
I have been robbed of the joy well deserved,
The golden confidence beneath,
The inner peace.
I have been robbed of a voice, treasured
Caged, and echoing behind my rib cage.

What a long journey of discovery,
Discovery of wealth carried in me.
And now I am a walking art,
Built from fragments of my broken past.

I peeped through my destiny,
In between blank

Where I was born and raised, the elevation was only 164 Feet
above sea level. When I was 32, upon first ascending an elevation
of 6200 feet, I had an excruciating headache.

The eagle thrives and survives with elevation.
The eagle cannot soar on winds of low elevation.
From the high mountain tops, he waits for the wind
that suits him

Millions never knew it was him.

Elevation 

It's about to be 2025 
It's time to elevate and thrive 
It's time to keep climbing 
And keep finding 
Finding out the best in you 
Even when you have no clue 
Just let God do what he do 
(Ooooooohhhh)
Have you ever been on an elevator 
Have you seen the buttons 
It's go from Basement

In the Tabernacle, every morning
    Aaron kindled the Menorah
  He did so every afternoon as well
    for forty years, enough to bore 'ya'
  
  But not Aaron, who was always enthusiastic
    With him it was genuine, not phony or 'plastic'
  For he

Higher Levels

The world wide web holds instantaneous information for all.
In this time of high-level vibrations, it is time to heed and adhere to the call.
There is no need to look up or outside oneself to find solutions, clarity, peace, or serenity.
Time to realize your God frequency, that dormant inner power, an inner voice of Devine clarity.

You

I'Ll Never Call Him My Family Again

Someone who lives a life full with sin
You should never love them or claim them to be kin

They may daily claim to be a spiritual poet
But doing drugs daily hoping no one will know it
Hiding under spiritual escapism but reality will show it

I used to beg to be family
Now I wish nothing close. 
I want

Irrefutable evolution conduits 
        Matter tip toes through tunnels
        Microscopic nano shifts continue 
        Outperformers filter free of funnel

Turn Your Inspiration Into Elevation

Turn your inspiration into elevation
Despite the storms of difficulty
Be the force unshakable
Be the lion In the jungle 
Rule over your shadows
Cos they are real
And don't forget the green
Snakes when you enjoy the green grass 
Life is simple but humans made it difficult
So spread your creativity beyond
Inspiration
Refuse the word you can't do it 
And walk like

Who Have I Been

I have taught, written, and spoken in the giant marketplace of Khem.
I would speak and write in Egypt's marketplaces and all around its rim.
One day through the crowd and dotted stands, I peered at the King's Guard making their way through the masses.
It looked as though they were headed in my direction, so to be

Premium MemberAt a Time Like This

At a time like this
 When all hope seems lost
 Listen and ponder
 God is still saying something 

 At a time like this
 When your prayers defy answers
 Pray the more
 Your breakthrough is close 

 At a time like this 
 When you receive a sack letter
 Instead of promotion
 Do not despair

I Live Toward Spiritual Elevation

Despite the malice
of the world,
 for the innate wit of fish,
the imposingness of the rooster...
For the fruit that falls ripe,
for the missionary leaf,
for the swell of the waves,
 and marine mystery...
For the roots of the trees
that stick to the earth...
For the wise smile
of the elder,
 sweetness
of innocence...
 For the colors and by the sounds
that still

Mr Chinedum's Lord's Prayer

God, You re Supreme and Holy
Eventually admitted my non- brilliant enemy in a Poly.
You re the Giver of life and fame:
A riffraff neighbor of mine now has a name.
You re the Changer of circumstances;
It should be time-wasting mentioning the instances.
I want my own world to be The Sweetest;
I have yet to accept "It isn't The

The Elevation of Today's Generation

THE ELEVATION OF TODAY'S GENERATION
By:  Sikolwethu Mthethwa

Burning hotter than the flames of a furnace,
Surpassing the depths of the hollows beneath Earth's face,
Rumbling more violently than a million earthquakes.
Delicately constructed by our young minds 
And conceived by our hearts.
It is more valuable than gold mines
Nothing surpasses this urge

With great authority it dictates to us,
With immense

Soul Elevation

Divine illumination

Transcendent glow 
from those rare gemstones
buried in the Earth

Enlightened innervision

Prism eyes closed,
laying so patiently still
Twinkling flames of sparkling hope
are eternally rising

Sapphire faith ascending

Crystalline tears of joy
be the spiraling, bright rainbow
to the higher ground
That paradise plane of existence

Soul elevation

Heightened saintly desires
on the celestial horizon 
are Sol beautiful
Ever loving aspirations that glow

Carbon brilliance of creation

Resurrected waves
