Short Change Of Direction Poems

No goodbye
I now rely on strangers
Don't change my direction
What can I offer?
Little to give
It's enough...

Detour to heaven,
  back road to joy

Change of direction
  —hope redeployed

You fall like a feather to the ground 
I can no longer blame the wind 
For your change in direction
You slip through my fingers
Each time I reach out
The wind takes you
You're willing
You are
Lost...

There are stages you run to
  and from stages to hide

The performance of a lifetime
  or the shame that will chide 

There are actors in character
   and actors on loan

One change in direction
  —and all meaning has flown

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)...

Listen to poem:

I see the horizon is not straight. 
It curves down at its ends, 
keeping the future pending, 
just out of reach, 
beyond the cliff's edge. 
It bends sharply, like water does. 
It refracts the line of expectation
into a sudden change of direction, 
tilting destiny to fall its way....

If you were a candle
And the wind came and tried to blow you out.
I'd change its direction. 

And if the rain came 
And tried to snuff your light
I would change it back into mist. 

When waxy tears run down your precious face
I will gather them up and make you whole again.

You are my eternal flame
And I will keep you lit forever....

The mind of a man may be defeated by any other
While the integrity held within can withstand the force
Implying that man must hold himself true to self
Admitting his strengths and his weaknesses equally
This is the secret for going forth in the world
Letting not others’ judgment change your direction
Thereby keeping yourself on track moving ahead...

It is evident
in all aspects of life
The Miraculous 
Power of Art
It can encompass,
transcend reality
through all it's phases
Causes one to
change the direction,
focus of their life
Digs deep inside
your inner being
Utilizes the creative juices,
helps you to
truly feel your Soul
Opens mindfulness in
your consciousness all
the while putting you
in a happy
state of existence...

Written: by Miracle Man
9-5-2019

In stripling years,
I existed in the shadows.
God had given me reason,
Of Satan to dispose.

To change life’s direction,
I felt suddenly impelled.
But on my own, couldn’t break,
Sin’s chains that held.

Then at that moment,
Scaled eyes could see.
God had broken my chains,
And unveiled a new me.

Listen to poem:

Within the eye of the storm, 
there is silence, 
a respite for reflection.
The storm's rage is about
to change its direction,
to reverse from which it came
to double down on its destruction
with second verse the same as the first
to blow like hell again and again.
Within the eye of the storm it is time
for us to reconsider what we can do to reverse
the path of the storm called:
'Climate Change!'...

Just a spoonful of anxious tears; 
Sometimes things can be overwhelming, 
sip of hot tea and it all disappears; 

Wild emotions simmer bubbling 
then with a slow stir dilemmas drown;
You change the direction of the swing;

Adding a jewel to your royal crown 
remembering you have come so far; 
The mellow taste avoids a meltdown;

Smile at everything that leaves a scar,
fears are the bones of a superstar....

There is a road, and far
Leading to the unknown, and yet I know it so well
Every step will change my direction
The flowers and trees I wont see, neither the sky or the birds
Yet I will know they will keep me company during my trip
There is a road not far from my mind
Leading the once upon a time, and yet 
The ending wont be happily ever after
Every motion will change my thoughts
The sweet melodies on the radio i wont hear,
Yet I will notice the sound that will vibrate my senses...

Adjust

If you find difficult to get along with people,
Adjust your ways to suit them.
when you can't reach your goals,
Adjust your actions to reach them.


If you do not get the things you desire,
Learn  to adjust with whatever you get.
Happiness and sadness may encircle you,
Try to adjust in all situations.


Can you change the direction of the wind?
Adjust the sails and reach the destination.
This life is based on adjustment,
So  adjust  your life to lead a normal life....
