Instil Poems

Zen mode

song of our soul spurs heart that love may soar 
so shifting into staid silence tranquil
at our blissful core where God keeps no score
we dissolve in the void our egoic will
that divine grace may love and light instil
being our prayerful invocation
drawing in thus God’s cosmic vibration

One Hundred Not Out

Win gold
be bold

Long run
such fun

High jump
speed bump

Grand prize
all eyes

Close race
in chase

Drab match
I catch

Ground stroke
no joke

Tiebreak
heartache

Foot fault
must halt

Forehand
so grand

Deuce court
report

Drop shot
on spot

Backspin
just in

Closed stance
advance

First serve
hold nerve

All out
no doubt

Arm ball
your call

Back foot
well put

Feet sore
crowd roar

Pit stop
right flop

Air jacks
not lax

Catch fence
immense

Choose cone
in zone

Downforce
of course

Dry line
sounds fine

Black dot
so what

Box-kick
smart flick

Breakdown
don’t frown

Eight-man
staunch fan

Fend-off
not half

Fly half
big laugh

Five-eight
high rate

Foul play
no way

Free kick
quite slick

Full-back
don’t slack

Knock-on
now gone

Loose head
instead

Pop pass
first class

Red card
off guard

Set piece
they tease

Shoeing
booing

Touch judge
won’t budge

Midcourt
retort

High clear
hear hear

Backstroke
awoke

Duck-Dill
instil

Frontcrawl
your call

Grab start
look smart

Pull Buoy
alloy

Swim Down
don’t clown

Easy breezy

Heart quiescent, our presence still,
voids within, with divine grace fill,
doing nothing, save receiving,
we behold how love is weaving
light strobes in heart, God does instil

Reality Matters

"Heavy hearts like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water"
          - Christopher Morley

When reality stings 
and life sorrow brings, 
When dreams dissipate 
under the hand of fate, 
When hopes are dashed 
in a seismic world smashed, 
Ineffable woes 
lash in heavy dose, 
Tearful soul cries out, 
"In silence I shout", 
Promises are broken, 
harsh words spoken, 
Grieving heart longs for calm, 
"Please spread some balm", 
Why does life deceive? 
Is there no reprieve? 
Feelings and heartaches, 
troubled eye dam breaks, 
Disappointments kill, 
love does not fulfil, 
When tears stain my pen, 
where do I go then? 
To the Lord, I cry, 
He dries my sad eye, 
He tells me, "Be still", 
New hope does instil, 
His promises are true, 
He will see me through, 
In His Word, I rest, 
Peace reigns, I am blessed.

To A Teacher

O teacher, noble and kind,
You're more than a model, you're a guide.
You're not just a teacher of facts,
But one who nurtures, as life's tracks.

Though you teach them all the truth,
It's life's lesson, that you uncouth.
With kindness and love, you instil,
The wisdom of life, to fulfil.

You treat them not as mere students,
But as children, your love is dense.
You don't begrudge their future sight,
But hope they rise, to great heights.

You're a teacher true, of noble mind,
Who knows that your reward is kind.

Let's Rhyme

The day begins with the usual drill.	
Plans in readiness, we will fulfil. 
Crouch under your desk and stay quite still,
Keep your eyes down, use your skill.
Don’t look up, this I must instil.
Try to be as quiet, not a sound if you will.
We practice this drill not to give you a chill,
It’s so important to do this safety grill.
If a shooter comes in, we know to do nil
We learn this so that we will be safe until.
The scene has been given a clear bill.
We know we must not cry or let out a shrill.
Teacher says chances of being hurt, are nil,
If we do as we are told and all be very still.

Yawn and Move On

Perceptions and sensations,
sorrows and bliss elations,
arise and in time subside,
as on earth we wingless glide.

Step by step, we join the dots
but thoughts tie us up in knots,
whilst if we simply be still,
silence will wisdom instil.

One with universal mind,
no longer in ego’s bind,
by mirrorlessly seeing,
we reclaim our true being.

Letting go off, to get to,
each moment pristine and new,
doing nothing, we reboot;
into living light transmute.

Coronation

Coronation
By Michelle Morris
05/05/2023

I wonder how King Charles feels
On the eve of his coronation
Disquiet or fears about 
Letting down our nation?

Or perhaps calm and optimism
Joy, peace and happiness?
Confidence and trust
In his coronation being celebrated?

For heavy is the crown
And powerful is the throne
We mark this occasion
The uniting of our home

An historic investiture
A celebration of this moment
Embracing the future plans 
To connect us as a country 

May God bless our King
And lead him beside still waters
Through every challenge
And every accomplishment

May the crown be lightened
By faith and guidance
May our nation instil pride
In our hearts and minds

Unleash your powers, and take the stunt.
Embrace the shadows, and rule the land,
For Variant is here, with magic so grand.

Love Shows the Way

Ego only knows
joy that comes and goes
but soul,
in the boat God rows,
feels how rapture grows.
Our role,
striking a love pose,
in gentle repose,
life’s goal.
 
Soul’s light that fears stole,
forms in heart a hole.
We will 
heal if we extol
God who makes us whole
and fill
love that does cajole
us to bat and bowl
with skill.

Earth life’s but a drill
letting love instil
bliss dose. 
Taking a chill pill,
letting nectar spill,
endows, 
God’s musical trill,
that cures every ill
lust chose.

Suspension

What meaning do you give
To lips moving up and down again?
Torn clothes, a broken nose
Drawing a smile on your face with pen

Different ages, different years
A target for abuse, told to refrain
Inside a system punishing the innocent
For going against the grain

Stalking you into a corridor
Eyes from blue collars are eager
To watch as water is thrown in the face
From a foe weak and meagre

Stealing from the weak
This is how it is perceived
Innocent, yet in suspension
Another persecutor craving attention

Together they form a team on a court
Not to play games but to instil fear
To attack those who cannot stand up for themselves
To those who seek approval, merely a sport

A foundation harnessed at home
Anger authorised by a lack of affection
Take responsibility for your child
And for their perception

November13 Already In South Africa

I
Nations thrive, connive, destruct -- the birds still instil awe, naturally 

II
Heretics and falsehood abound, but cows, even pigs, in town, reassure us of survival.

NOTE: In cities& towns in South Africa, the changes since Nelson Mandela's revolution, allows mainly black farmers & persons to let livestock roam towns for leftovers, rarely herding them.. Some eat plastic bags. Two are sleeping on the sidewalk, next to our only hotel, in Kerk Street, as  I write/ edit

America 8

Advise for all your older generations 
Make a promise to re-instil that dream
Every generation need leaders and guides
Reach out to younger ones inspire again
It time to unshackle all the true dreamers 
Change will come if you choose to accept
Arise show leadership to the new leaders

Hope Is a Parlor That Gives Valor

Try to be happy dear,
Instil into heart cheer,
Keep your mind clear,
Soul, with hope, steer.

Never entertain fear,
As worry turns severe,
Allow not doubts near,
Give not to gossips ear

God will surely interfere
If you pray despite tear,
God will secretly appear
As, prayer, He does hear

In a gloomy atmosphere
Peace will just disappear,
Solace is given by prayer
Due hope, it will deliver

A wise heart is hope-carrier,
A wise mind is ever sincere,
With an oath, start the year,
Never feel you are inferior

At you when adversities jeer,
Become a very firm believer,
God will remove every barrier,
He will bless you to be happier

When you try to get silver,
Gold, prayer will deliver,
Forget the Lord never,
Thinking you are clever

Believe in God's power,
He makes peace flower,
In bliss, He helps us tower,
He is noble souls' lover

God loves a true toiler,
He makes him not suffer,
He gives the best offer,
He fills kindly his coffer

If your mind gets fever
To God, hopefully refer
Your state, He will infer
And give the best buffer!
