Lifts Poems - Poems about Lifts

When Laughter Falters, the Forest Lifts

When facing a wall of fear and pain, I stand.
Laughing, as hope and calm slip from my hand.
I climb tree branches, easily, swiftly and timely.
Each thread a steady beam that holds me upright.

Up in the canopy, I cheer up, and start to sing,
A hymn of praise that only being there can bring.
I rise higher, holding

It Lifts, Defies Gravity

It Lifts, Defies Gravity 

That great curving line
made of countless droplets
in shades of aquamarine
to showers of foaming white

it creates an opening
a cave where light can spin
then plummets down again
its passion has been spent

rolling gently to the shore
tumbling sand and shells
small remnant lives
then going back for more.

Sadness Befriends Me

sadness befriends me for life after a friend quits all feelings for me

Love Lifts

cotton candy kiss
delicious dessert from lips
broken heart finds lift

The Fold Lifts - He's There in the Mist

The fold lifts - he's there in the mist
   And the world tumbles aside.
We come together and meet lips
   As Night's stars fill our eyes.

It's a world of two - two in the world.
   The rush - the fire of his touch
Enshroud us as a cocoon would
  

the morning lifts

a solitary willow weeps
a babbling brook nearby
deer and fawn present a peaceful scene
the sun begins to glisten
on the dewy grass

field mice run through the meadow
rabbits play hide and seek
bluebirds perched above
on a white pine branch

sudden gunshot echoes
everyone scatters
first day of hunting season

Slay Queens and Brazilian Butt Lifts

In pursuit of curves, some choose the lift,
A quest for beauty, a transformative shift.
But amidst the surgeries, a deeper tale,
A journey where self-love might set sail.

No judgment for choices, the paths we take,
Yet ponder the reasons, the risks we undertake.
Society's pressures, perceptions we bear,
A world where self-worth is laid bare.

South African souls, playing a role,
In

A Weight That Never Lifts

Pain, my constant companion
You cling to me like a shadow
A weight that never lifts
An unwelcome guest in my soul

You pierce me with your sharp claws
And gnaw at me with your teeth
You consume me with your fire
And drown me in your seas

You come in many forms
Physical, emotional, mental
But always you are present
A reminder of my mortality

Sometimes

My Father Lifts Me Up-

My God He lifts me up
 Jesus has embraced me 
Suffered for me such
 I will exalt the oh Lord my God provides 
All, all my needs oh Lord my God I cry out to thee always

The Breeze Lifts My Spirits

Roses look redder
     Sunflowers sunnier
   Chrysanthemums brighter
     Queen Anne's lace whiter

   Leaves waving like pennants
     Puffy clouds sail along
   Grass green and refreshed
     Birds sing their song

   The breeze lifts my

Chairlifts

The drone of the engine humming,
a bull-wheel around which chairs swing,
skiers all rushing to the line,
beginners are never in time.

A rapid lift up a height,
the bar comes bar to calm the fright,
high view of white trails swooping down,
figures below zipping around.

A few of them fall, full yard-sale,
some smirk when they see others fail,
the teens will

Lifts and Lorries

We cowboys on this side of the pond
  Get out of bed with boots and spurs on
To ride our bucking bronco golden stallions
  As you mount your nags on the weak side of the ocean

Yes, we snicker as you call elevators 'lifts'
  And your truckers call a semi a 'lorry'
But daring to

Invisible Veil Lifts

As the veil does lift
We feel inner shift
A pulse magnetic
A throb ecstatic 
Bliss ineffable

The happening
Enigmatic
Joy spherical 
A miracle

Feet and palms 
Touch healing
By feeling

Steady
Current

Risen Lifts Seen Before Darkness-

I rise before the lift I see before the darkness breath

As the Smoke Lifts

disillusionment gathers
like an incoming storm
with impending doom

rainless clouds
become the reigns
of the thunderous rage
toppling statues like trees
along paved walks
where peace one gathered
flags now burn upon the grounds
and those that fought to protect
lie unearthed within the fury
as headstones tumble
like dominos downward

common grounds become trampled
battlegrounds now redrawn
as the world looks onward
through the haze of destruction
awaiting the smoke to
