Premium Member Listen - See Her - Know Her - Love Her
This poem is featured on YouTube (The Convergence point with Dr. Ivan Edwards), bringing its words to life through spoken expression. Do not just hear—listen. Let her voice settle in your bones, not as sound, but as meaning, as truth that lingers long after words fade. When you listen, she melts into devotion. Look at her—truly see...

Premium Member The Silence of Your Eyes
I’d like to slip behind the silence of your eyes, to wander the remembered roads your footsteps once believed in— to see what you saw, to feel the ache of your longing before the world taught you what not to reach for— and to find the child who once asked why— and is still waiting for an answer. I’d sit where memory holds its breath in the dark, listening...

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF KINDNESS
Today I’m grateful for understanding the power in the gift of kindness: Knowing any time we reach for kindness and are blessed to have achieved it… How it cost nothing for us to give it… but was priceless to those who received it. ...

Premium Member inherit the wind
We are inheriting Art and Arc Of trying to understand. How once, we were fingers, Born of the same common hand. Miniatures born into this land Of thought. Tactile each, and that ought, To have been enough. But, In the sound of each brushed whisper Overheard in the billowing clouds, We fought the thought Of the popular injunction. Loud as a newborn’s...

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE UNDERSTANDING LOVE AND HATE
Today I’m grateful for understanding love and hate and all the ties that bind them… that whether we’re looking for reasons to love or reasons to hate… how easy it is to find them. How, when love or hate are left free and unrestrained, nothing can impede them… and how the only way for either to grow depends on how we...

Premium Member A Quiet Understanding
Yes… even still, one’s philosophical reaching matters Not because it conquers space... But because it aligns with something deep And ancient in the design… a personal calling. As if the Cosmos longs to be understood Even by a single, small being. Why? Perhaps for nothing more than this… That the dance becomes better. ...

Peace in Pieces
I'm not sayin you don't have a right to feel the way you do, but have you considered every avenue, every stream that lines information directly to you? Have you considered perspective? That what appears to be truth could be, in actuality, subjective - effective truth hidden behind piercing offensive lies? Have you considered that life is like a puzzle, and every piece...

I Love You, You're Beautiful
I heard it so much I started to think it was true. Repeated it to me so often, That now it plays in my head. You said it so many times That it’s etched in my heart. You believed it so much, That now, I believe it too. ...

A Tale From A Stranger
He came with dust upon his coat, The sun behind him dying red, And in his voice the echo hung Of lands where ancient dreams lie dead. He spoke of seas with lilac skies, Of stars that sang above the foam, Of gardens lost beyond the years— And none of it was home. He told me tales of lovers pale Who wept beneath a...

Hey Dad!
Hey Dad! Hey Dad! Is that you knocking at the door outside? I'm excited to let you know how great was my first horse ride. Mom was waiting for you on the couch — another quiet night. Is your job so hard? Well, I hope everything's alright. Good night Dad. Hey Dad! Today's my 7th birthday! My friends were looking for you...

A Call For Humility
I don't think about Tr*** often I don't like to My guess is a third of you are at this time ticked triggered troubled torn turned off or tickled Avery few feel that tripled in spades And the rest have buckled up in a mingled mess of confusion curiosity or careless concern Take your pick Only the most humble learn their lessons anyway, and earn a table at the hearts of the yearning We're...

The Voice
They say "use your voice" But when I did, they turned away. They say, "just listen" But never asked what I'd say. They urged, "spread the word" But never considered what they were spreading....
