To A Higher Place Poems | Examples

No More Reason

Step into the light 
Illuminate your soul 
No more reason to fight 
Your a shiny peice of coal
Polish all the way to the core
No more reason to be poor
Let's soar to a higher place 
Put on a whole new face
Embrace every chance you get 
No more reason to fret
Better yet do not regret 
Follow the sunset to the sea 
No more reason to pay a fee
Seize a moment in time 
No more reason to be a mime 
Just be presently sacred
No more reason to be naked 
Make imagination inspirational 
No more reason to be motivational
Fundamentally deeply surrender 
No more reason to be a pretender 
Feeling all tender
No more reason to go on a bender
Let's be approachable 
No more reason to be reproachable

Astronaut Flight

Fighting against the iron grip of gravity, its power over this vessel decreases and we slip through its clutching fingers.
Breaking through astronomical barriars into the darkness of space this force of earth no longer lingers.
Into an emense and endless galaxies of stars, we pause here and there taking in wisdom and enjoying each blissful atmosphere.
Into various realms of wonderous beauty attracting the higher vibrations of power and eliminating all fear.

The unceasing invigorating gracious energy is raising our conciousness to a higher place.
Transcending and connecting to an omnipotent force so compelling that we can actually see our true benevolent face.
For so long many ingrained misconceptions that have been taught must be purged in leveling up from how or what we should think or do.
Here in the emptiness of space there is no doubt that the light, this remarkable creative force is the presents of God in you.

A Warning

A heavenly being, a messenger
So graceful and divine
Came into view hesitantly
Her smile losing its shine

She yielded out her hand
To examine my porcelain face
Her expression becoming dull 
When resisting her secret embrace

Her unexpected look of discomfort
Replaced by grief and sorrow
Would race in my mind forever
Not forgetting by tomorrow

I saw her charming lips move
But couldn’t hear her speak
I turned my head sideways
For incase her voice was weak

The guardian with white wings
Became stormy and inflamed
Emotional distress
To her was not a game

I couldn’t grasp the meaning
Of her wet eyes so, so deep
Her piercing cry, the high-pitched voice
I’d now here in my sleep

She looked to a higher place
Closed her eyes in prayer
Reasoning for me to follow
I follow in despair

Something struck my heart
And she said, “My God, you defy
Repent and ask forgiveness
Or you will live to die.”

Lead Me To the Rock, Lift Me To a Higher Place

Be the Rock, for them to cling-to; those who are lost in raging river....be the shieldwall, for them that can't stand alone: against any storm, for them as cannot stand for themselves. Therein lies the true way to Volholla--the sure-footest of paths; the true stairway to heaven. Lead Me to the Rock; Lift Me to a higher place.

Premium Member Dream Kisses

You my love 
sleep deeply within 
dancing upon clouds 
blowing warmly 
blushing red 
sweet pink 
cotton candy kisses 
innermost desire 
without lips 
fluttering passion 
breathtakingly beautiful 

Chambers of 
the heart open 
to lay 
with you my love 
blossoms one 
regal flower 
within a petaled bed 
touching this dream 
adorable paradiso 
softly caressing deeply 
gently warming 
sweeping feelings 

Singing lovingly 
music of the soul 
bouncing emotions echoes 
deeply in the heart 
floating butterflies inside 
rising to a higher place 
feelings explode golden 
loving you darling 
takes my breath away 

Branches envelope... 
Love develops.. 
As we wrap our stems
music begins, 
sound of 
'Heavenly Delight' 
embraces the cold 
bitterness of night!

A Common Hero

A hero was once born to the mother of nature
destined to fight battles of a commoner
his body unscathed but his soul bore all the scars
to a higher place he was led by fate 
breaking his bonds with humans one after the other
heart filled with grief he journeyed beyond

for the pain he suffered the skies cried for him
trees shed their leaves for his bare feet on rocks
he left his heart on the pavement 
along the path he chose of which he has forgotten
winds carried him when he can't himself
as his battles were only beginning  

he is a poet who has not the seen the sun shine
for so long in darkness what more can he sing about?

I Dance

7 may 2012 4:50 PM



I dance in the sunlight 
I dance in the rain

I dance when I'm happy
I dance when there's pain

Because it frees my soul
And it lets me go
to a higher place
to a higher praise
With You ohhhh with You
that's right

I dance to remember
I dance to forget

I dance in a dream land
I dance in reality 

Because I dance for You 
And You take me there 
to that higher place 
to that higher praise.....with You

Love Rekindled

Lovers each parted their ways,
Tears cause misty sprays.
Colder grew them both,
Love amid them was now an old growth.

Lovers wear on their poignant face a pair of abysmal drenched brows,
Each parted brow one crumpled, other rumpled as twinge, sonorous it grows.
Their ways parted but for scores to come both would grieve,
Tears to obscure make believe a poker face for all to deceive.

Cause misty sprays now quench and quell the fervent fires of the raving heart,
Colder grew to icier but a dim flame of passion lies to be kindled although apart.
Them both a score later brought face to face by fate or fortune to meet,
Love amid them, wedged, now flickered and glinted, sneering smiles as they greet.

Was now at hand frozen silence and two tear blubbering faces,
An old growth of love renascence and regenerates.
Now the feelings cold erase and hate displace,
To make way for their searching love to take them to a higher place.

To melt intrepidly into each other’s arms and embrace,
Depose and oust with grace the long worn mask of the poker face.

Filled With Song

My fingers brush the strings of an old guitar, hidden away in the closet in my room.
A small smile plays my lips and I close my eyes, picturing me playing that guitar.
Me singing some song on a bench in the rain.
Singing the music that makes my heartbeat pulse through my whole body.

I can sing. I know I can, I just need practice.
I laugh as I picture the look on my friends faces when I tell them this.
I smile and put the guitar away, all the while thinking of how I'd love to learn to play 
that guitar.
To go to a friends party and sing. To make them feel what I do when I ride a high 
brought on by nothing more or less than music.

Breathless, I sit on my bed, my face glowing.
I will learn. I will learn to let out the song that makes my heart fill with so much joy I 
feel like I'm going to explode.

Still smiling, I put on my favorite music and let that high take me to a higher place.

What It Is.

I Don't Know What It Is About You
But Every time I See Your Face My
Mind Escapes To A Higher Place. 
There Nothing I Can Say To Make 
You Understand Why i Feel This Way.
Because The Truth Is I Don't Understand 
It Myself. But I Know It Makes Me Feel So
Close To Home That I Wanna See Your Face
Everyday.

This quaint haven away from Seeing Eye
         No sound of the loom now at nature’s call
         Here on this coarse park bench in deepest fall
         Gloomy clouds above threatening blue sky.

         Song of the Blackbird rings out yet so shy
         Speckled Thrush nags his mate in tuneful squall
         Lush green lawn an ocean of food to trawl
         Twisting squirming succulents soon to die.

         I now will have to end this little verse
         Clown on a motor mower not at peace
         Feathered friends scatter to a higher place
         I look to heaven now in silent curse
         Back to the weaving shed and all that grease
         Lunch break in tatters silence without trace.

Hope and Protection

You bring us hope and motivation
You tell us there's more that can be done
You give us other opportunities
You give us options and choices
You hold our hands when we're struggling
You kiss our face when we need it
You arms are wide open
We surrender our hearts and lives to you
We give all of our being to you
You know every hair on our heads
You know our every desiring
You know what's good for us
You bring beautiful sunsets
You bring the cool breezes
You bring people into our lives for important reasons
You take our lives in multiple directions and center us
You take us to a Higher place
You teach us to be patient and kind
You bring gratitude to us
You send us to help others discover you
You send us messages and messengers
You send us to life by your principles
You send us to win others to Christ
There are no hopeless cases with God

Premium Member Blaze the Skies

This journey of my dreams is everything I’ve waited for
It’s all wrapped up with strings
With sweat and tears, with joy and pain
Through hills and valleys I have come
A thousand dreams I dared to dream
I stand here in this time and place
Where stars are born to blaze the skies

Blaze the skies with your life
We live each day and weave our dreams
Each life is a song that must be sung
As stars are born to blaze the skies

When I recall the years, the many fears, the hidden tears
The solid walls unseen 
The rocky road, the times I fell
The yearning grew, the struggles too
A million stars have shone their lights
Along the way to where I am
Where stars are born to blaze the skies

Blaze the skies with your life
We live each day and weave our dreams
Each life is a song that must be sung
As stars are born to blaze the skies

I’ll soar with touching songs that warm the heart that feed the soul
To heights beyond the stars, 
And light the path for all who dream
Who know the laughter and the pain
To give each song its wings to fly
To a higher place in the universe
Where stars are born to blaze the skies

Death

Death... the final breath, the last smile you can take, forever gone in a land of 
make. Your words to be spoken lost in a book unread, and now you're laying in 
some death bed. Why now? Have I done such wrong to deserve this punishment 
that I have gotten? Forever to be lost in a world alone and forgotten.
My life has just seemed so short compared to those who have sinned, for I too 
will be gone with the cold and lonely wind. As you finally close your eyes, you can 
see the final step that takes you to a higher place, which people say.
But where to? With whom? What is said? Well all these questions can be only 
answered when you are dead.
