Short Uncluttered Poems

An uncluttered mind
Deviant to some, we say
Direct line to God....

The uncluttered mind ...

Thus, are dreams the children of,

Nightmares, its bastards....

Slipping into splendour of bliss
Uncluttered mind, free of duress
Fontanel brightens, joy heightens
Held in divine entwined caress
Load upon vibrant heart lightens

without thoughts "I" ends
maintained for long
Nirvana

Start shedding
Start floating
When you shed it all
You levitate in bliss

More uncluttered mind is
Lighter you feel
Soon you become non-existent
You fly away...

A poem unwritten
Uncluttered; a baby's mind
     Unkissed innocence

Listen to poem:

I have your back.
I'm right here for you.
I've cleared the decks.
Set aside space for you, uncluttered
With all the empathy and compassion
That our mutual 
Respect and understanding
Can muster.
The stage is yours
I'm here with you,
Listening.
Let's begin!...

Crystal droplets hang
Mirror reflects wall
Uncluttered ceiling
Corners catch my eye
Curtains are both drawn 

Leg upon leg
Teeth pressing tongue
Chest rise, chest fall
Eyelid flicker

Breathing slows
Distant hums
Elsewhere train

Cotton
Nothing

Self...

... stiff rhymes don't impose,
use, describing toad or rose,
crisp, uncluttered prose ...


... with clipped cadences,
a thought sparkles and dances,
mind's dalliances ...


... rhyme, as reason's gown,
doesn't dumb or drab thoughts down,
a gem in the crown ......

Such a lot of things I'd do,
The books I'd read
The shows I'd see!
I'd sip long galleries
Of half-forgotten pleasures. 

He went to school, the youngest,
Not big enough to tie his shoes, 
School case in his chubby grip,
Smiling, eager, new...I sit and
Silence creeps about uncluttered rooms....

Distilled attention, unfettered
Vibrant presence, mind uncluttered 
Awareness self-aware, that is
Deepening stillness, undeterred

God alone is, now we know this 
Form in fullness, feels the bliss fizz
Recognising we’re God-essence 
Born by breath divine, all is His

In the flames of autumn
Across uncluttered fields
Warm beauty greets and enchants
Fields in  array of quilted tapestry 
Make a picture of pure perfection.

Walking with the hands of time
A brilliant kaleidoscope of colors 
Create a floating magical beauty
As warmth radiates upon the face
Lightness swells and entwines the soul.

Love
Come; sit for a bit 
on sunlit verdant coverlet
with uncluttered mind

Welcome sweet Wisdom, 
and let the Word
sow blossoms of Love.

Gardener’s  incessant  
sun-shower   
nourish  the fruit  
of the kingdom
as roots  bore deep

Leaves greet the heavens
enduring special grace
inviting my soul
reflecting its rainbow

When the surroundings are dark
carry the torch of hope with you

It may not change your destiny
but brightens up the pathway
by bestowing positivism

Moment we are hopeful,
we smile and feel inner strength
Same journey no longer tires

Mind becomes weightless
An uncluttered mind thinks better
Many bright avenues open up

Our problems cease...

Clutter

We like to remove what seems
Blocking our view..clutter..
Moving one thing aside so
To better see another..
We exercise this preference
And reinforce our belief
In life's separations..
Bringing ancient suffering..
Until a dawning recognition:
Suffering is a hint from
Grace..a gentle prompt:
See that your Seeing
Is always uncluttered......

Good morning sunshine
Caress my sleepy head
I hear the birds sing
There is a chill in the air

Love is good
I feel well
Ease has sprouted
Among my joints today
Carry me away to gentle waves

Healing sunshine
Healthy food
Clean, uncluttered home

I love waking up next to you, like you love waking up next to me!!

For Carol Brown--My state of happiness, sure bliss!!...

As time goes by
Days best uncluttered
The good life
Coasts uncomplicated
My wishes are few
And quite simple
I crave peace and
Happy settings
Moments of seclusion
Where I can be creative
Amuse my inner child
Dance drenched in sunshine
And taste serenity

Birdsong

Skies of the brightest blue
Uncluttered by pollutions
Birds circle overhead
Looking for a place to roost
Males with their bright colors
Looking for a mate for the spring
Chirping into the cool valley air
Songs of greetings and invitations
They echo off the trees and mountains
Combining into a symphony
Males and females meet
They sing and dance into the early evening
Joining together in an ancient ritual
And life begins again...

Illness, like a stealthy thief, 
snuck up on me, knocked me flat, 
and ransacked my interior,

Taking things I didn’t know 
were missing until I
got back up again. 

Gone was the mask 
of illusion that shielded 
me from my mortality.

Bare were the walls 
that kept sorrow 
hidden for years. 

Robbed of certainty
and confidence in 
my own capabilities,

I stood vulnerable
in the uncluttered space
of my life - 

and found poetry....

We thought the morning would be calm ~
Till daughter deployed the grandkid bomb.

The youngest makes a Wookiee noise,
And other sounds enjoyed by boys.

Greta's playing the matching game;
The floor: uncluttered before she came.

The oldest bikes through the garage;
Both it and he will soon need triage.

One's running, screaming, wants her "wadi",
And spending time on the potty.

But, midst the chaos and the mess,
I must admit that I'm pretty blessed....

Once, I was a poem---
A memory of a rose, ever-watchful
Of the orb, whilst angel’s trumpet fills the air.

Oh, sometimes then, I was a sweet poem---	
The art of your heart;
‘Twas pure and simple, ‘cause that’s what I am.

The poem and I---fourteen lines
Of uncluttered life, warming the coldness of nights; 
Relentlessly, rhyming to the sound of your breath.

A sonnet of love, you proudly wrote 
Of me, but that was before… 
You lustily engaged yourself, with a free-verse....

A quiet breeze, 
Stillness in the air,
No voices filtering into my mind,
No sound putting my mind into a tumultuous stir,
I flow with the rhythm of nature's music,
My thoughts glide in the unperturbed flow,
Somewhere by the sea,
The fog is dispersed,
Somewhere by the sea,
I walk on an uncluttered path,
Somewhere by the sea,
I’d spend my last days,
At day’s end, 
I'll soar on unbridled wings.
