Optimism Poems

Dual roads to Shangri la
Painted with optimism
External flame keeps them
Perpetually lit and hopeful

Child with rainbow ideals
Leaves this earthly plane
By reason of cancer
Arrives at this heavenly paradise

Enveloped quickly in comforting arms
Saturated with purest mother love
Moonlight smiles in the distance
At their spiritual...Read More

If I were a poet
I would pour pieces
Of my heart on pages
Paint in crystalline clarity
The anguish of my ancestors
My poems would be embroidery
Tailoring the strives
of this generation
I would write aspiration
on the mountains of mama Liberia
That her children - yet unseen
Can...Read More

It seems that lately I'm seeing and hearing more optimistic stories on the evening news concerning the virus situation on local, national, and international levels. And it has occurred to me that, perhaps, optimism can also, in its way, become...Read More

We are all one, part of each other, a universal spirit.
We are unique in little, sharing our memories in the great sky
Upon our return to the source.
As we have since the beginning of the beginning.

Forgiving each other lightens us.
It brightens...Read More

Dismount, the horse is dead I say.
He keeps blathering on,
Saying things to bring me down
Tries to lasso me with negativity
Annoyed that I have retained my idealism
Angry at my optimism
Wanting to smear my joy on the floor of the barn.
I smell...Read More

Rumbling through my brain dendrite highway
Taking my imagination hostage 
Fiercely holding her ground
Optimism sprinkles my fields with hope

Faith creeps up and rolls in it
Love laughs 
The world
is good.

Through tomorrow's beaming hopeful eyes,
life's sun shines with optimism
and will continue to set
over the horizon
in the midst of these
uncertain times.
We'll walk through
any
fire.

When we're under duress, sick with 
worry and fear about the unknown 
or about situations beyond our control
it's easy to lose all sense of perspective. 

But one thing we can control is our breath.
It's indeed true, we're currently living
in a...Read More

it is, what it is
what more can i say
one little alter can change
your whole day
at times we don't have the slightest clue
damned if we don't, damned if we do
no need to stress about it
forget feeling blue
just do like we did...Read More

Heaven was watching in consternation 
There was sorrow and unrest in the nation
Actually it was happening all around the globe
The angels ran to Jesus, and touched his robe.

Can we please send them hope? Can we open the portal?

She has never seen such a wildness
She laughs so loudly that people are looking
She had never laughed this loudly before
Her relatives began shushing her

But she is eighty-six years young
And this silliness tickled her funny bone
She cannot stop laughing at the...Read More

And all mankind in Union stand

If the earth explodes
If the virus takes out your dendrites
If a wild child sneaks into your dreams
If there is an opportunity to be kind
Be kind

Be your best friend
Say kind things to yourself
Look in the mirror and smile
Arm yourself...Read More

Woolly my hair is
Intimidating to some in its natural frizz
Why do we judge by the color of our skin
Isn’t judgement and hate a sin
The impurity of capital vices
Have us in an inhumane crisis
I ponder and put on some blues
In a...Read More
