New Day

Posted in Spiritual Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 5, 2012| 8 Comments »

Dew Drops upon the rose

Glimmer in the light as the sun rose

The freshness of the day filled the air

As a crisp wind was blowing through my hair

As each moment slipped away

So did the silence of the new day

The sweet music of the animals and birds

Was giving dimensions to a story with no words

It was in the silence that I knelt and prayed

As I thanked the Lord for the coming of a new day

****

I wrote this poem in 1976 when I was on a teen retreat with the Catholic Youth Organization.  I sat on my balcony of the lodge and watched the sun rise. It was a very touching moment for me as I felt so connected to the universe and God in that moment.

It is sad but true when I wrote this I loved it yet, was so afraid to share it.  I was afraid it wasn’t original.  Maybe I read it somewhere and just remembered it.  Over the years I shared it a few times but always said “Author unknown.”  So today I share it and no matter whom on this earthly plane wrote it…the Author is always God.

Story of My Fate

Posted in Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , on May 2, 2012| 2 Comments »

In the mirror I look

Wanting to see

What the universe holds for me.

What form of love, happiness or prosperity?

I sit and wait for the mirror to reveal

The story of my fate.

Where all I see is a world

revolving around me

I am so puzzled by this reflection.

The reflection meant to set me free.

Yet, I am confused by what I don’t see.

Has my Spirit deserted me?

“Oh No…Oh No…I am still here, “

Says the spirit within.

“You asked what the world has to offer you.

So there it appears in all its beauty.

So now the rest is up to you

To work within the universe

And with your thoughts and passions

The world will give you the life you deserve.”

So I closed my eyes to contemplate

And the whisper within said,

“To write, teach, and heal is your fate.

To find your true love is the icing on the cake”

So now I sit and write this poem

And pray my words

Fall lovingly on you today.

And wonder if that special man

Is on his way.

Sometimes when I write my poems I think they sound a little corny.  But that does not seem to matter they make me smile and feel great joy.  I have to smile at the end of this poem as I remember when I was a teenager a  middle age woman flirting with my father, and then again when I was in my thirty’s an older women just laid it out there that she was on the hunt and my Dad was the prey.  Both times I was taken aback by their boldness and both times I thought they were just too darn old for dating.  Now as a middle age woman I find myself wondering if that special man is on his way.  Now, I don’t see myself as being too darn old.

Dark Abyss

Posted in Spiritual Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 23, 2012| 4 Comments »

Drowning in a deep dark abyss

Plummeting beneath the sea.

Grabbing for the light of day

Not knowing which way I lay.

Swirling out of control in a place

Without sight of my Soul.

It is the hole that calls my name.

Where dim goes my spiritual flame,

And my aching heart is drained.

It is a place I take myself

When I feel so ashamed.

A sea of sorrow

A land without tomorrow.

A self-inflicted pain

Loathing is so vain.

There is no joy in this state of mind.

No life when you want to die.

In the abyss I open my eyes.

Scared by what I see

I hit the rocks

Trying to get free.

In this darkness light does shine

For the love of God has always been mine.

The light reaching out to me

Is the hand of God embracing me

Never letting go of the Spirit in me.

It is God’s light that illuminates

The path for my destiny.

******

There have been times in my life when things have felt difficult and the path to take was not clear.  This poem is a reflection of the place that I have emerged from and over the past 8 months I have been transforming in the light of God.  I have never been happier with more joy and inner peace.   So I thank God for leading me to the place where I now stand.  There are still bumps ahead and that is OK.  With my Spirit and my unity within the source these bumps will not alter my divine course.

Lightning Over Mount St. Helens

Mount Saint Helens, Washington

Miles Morgan – Featured Photographer

www.photobotos.com April 17, 2012

************* 

When the sky is so dark

And the rains fall.

The thunder roars

As the lightning strikes.

We look to the sky

Hoping to get a glimpse

Of God rolling on by.

The splendor of the Lord

Is visible for all to see.

It is easily seen in the colors of spring.

The magnificence of mountain high

And the ocean deep.

It is felt in the falling rain

That sustains everything.

Within the thunderstorm

Is the passion of the Lord.

It is his love that we hear

In the explosive roar.

The lightning strike

Illuminate the darkened sky.

Just as the Spirit is flying by.

And beneath it all

Is the land that sprawls

From the mountains to the

Fields below.

The flowers bow in homage

As the winds of the Lord blow.

A storm may feel for some

To be a discord in a God made space.

What I see is the divinity

That Heaven displays within this place.

Night Dreams

“Whispers of Eternity” – Adraga Beach, Portugal – Jorge Maia – Featured Photographer

Once upon a dream on a starry night

The land of God arose from the sea

Leaving the water to sit so tranquilly.

In the stillness of this night

The Spirit’s breath moved the earth

To divide the sea.

And now the darkness glows across the world

As the love of Spirit embraces you and me.

It is the essence of God that manifest

The world we see.

It is Divine Law that all created so perfectly. 

In the still of this night along the sea

There is Spiritual Splendor moving in the gentle breeze.

The mystical world of God’s Divinity

Is laid out across our universe

For all God’s children to live their life in harmony. 

In the life of a Soul

The day and night on this earthly plane

Is just a fleeting flash of light.   

God knows the struggles within the human race

Are thoughts without power nor grace.     

The wars between humans will fade away

As the world we know is transformed

By the Heavenly Glow.

The illumination of God’s Divine plan

Has been set in motion

It is Eternal Life for every child, woman and man.

So hear the Lord in the Whisper of Eternity

And watch the darkness glow

Into the life of love and harmony.

Sacred Day

Posted in Spiritual Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 14, 2012| 1 Comment »

Oh God… My Lord.

It is of your accord

I awake to this sacred day.

And on this day I rejoice and say

There is great joy in my love of Thee.

Your light within is burning bright.

Your love is carrying me.

As I live within our union today.

Loving you Lord

Is a wonderful price to pay.

For a life so rich,

Abundant and free.

Within your consciousness

I can have anything that is good for me.

It is your completeness and gentleness

That allows my soul to express so gracefully.

The infinite God so good

Is here for all to embrace

For all mankind in our human race.

There is a land in which I dream

To climb the mountains and swim the stream.

A celestial place in hues of green.

Were the still water is a reflecting glass,

For all to see what is in their path.

It is a place of divine grace

That fills the empty human space.

A place to find the answers to your prayers.

As the color of the sky transforms the land

You know the Truth of God is at hand.

It is where God whispers in the quiet voice.

That you are deserving of all your dreams.

So look into the looking glass and grasp

The magnificence of Spirit and the beauty of Divinity.

Close your eyes and hear the winds as they whisk on by,

Feel the love from the One who embraces you.

You are cherished, loved and adored.

You are the greatest gift from the Lord.

Becoming a blogger has open my world from the small microcosm in which I live to seeing the diversity on this incredible earth.   And today’s poem, I dedicate to a blogger from Indonesia whose words echo within me as a statement of truth for where I have been, where I am, and where I am going.   It has taken me 5 decades to embrace life and to offer up to God each day the things that stand in my path of joy, love, and prosperity.  The words in this poem flowed with the image of Mei  in my mind and heart.   www.meirozavian.wordpress.com  Thank you for sharing your thoughts and world with me.

From The Darkness

Posted in Spiritual Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 11, 2012| 3 Comments »

Within the darkness

I hang my head in sorrow.

Within the darkness

I lose sight of tomorrow.

Within the darkness

 My love festers.

Within the darkness

My light is dim.

Within the darkness

Joy lingers.

Within the darkness

I raise my eyes to Thee.

Within the darkness

The old fades away.

Within the darkness

The new is born.

From the darkness comes

What I am looking for.

I find my way by the light of my soul.

I find my love still burning like coal.

I find my path you lead me so freely.

I find my words you gave to me.

I find my heart

You so embrace within me.

Within the light I shine

Within the light I dine.

I dine on the Eternal feast

You so graciously prepared for me.

Within the light I live

Where an overflowing joy abounds.

Within your source I exist

I exist within heart and mind.

I exist within my cells and organs.

I exist as millions of particles

And all in unity of one.

My one

A one of trillions within this universe.

And trillions within the One.

All within One Source

The One Power

The One Love

The One God and Force.

The Manifesting One

That lives within me.

There is completeness

Within this Unity.

Loving Me

Posted in Spiritual Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 9, 2012| Leave a Comment »

I am one with Thee

Where my love and prayers

Live in Eternity.

Deep within your source

I reach out like the branch on a tree.

Reaching in love for all to see

My life is filled with Spirit’s divinity.

All I plant grows effortlessly

As the breath of the Lord nourishes me.

The Essence of God is all of life’s force

And loving Thee is the way for me.

In ecstasy I surrender with joy

And reverence for you to see.

Within your source

Love is the only way it should be.

Bounding through my heart

Your essence flows in me.

In silence I pray for all to see

A relationship with God is always free.

Free as the breath I breathe

And the sun that shines

The Love of God is always mine.

It is me Lord who forgets to embrace

The light that never dims

It is me Lord who forgets to see

Your reflection in all of humanity.

There is joy in knowing

You have blessed me with freedom to choose

And I rejoice as I pray,

 “Today Lord I am with you all the way!”

Rainbows and Dust

Rainbows and Dust – Bantayan Island, Philippines – Marc Hermann – Featured Photographer

Posted 04/06/2012 on www.photobotos.com

There is a path through God’s universe

Where light floods through the canopy of trees.

The prism of color floats in the smoky haze.

The children so precious and innocent

Ride their bike where only God will gaze.

A land of simplicity and divinity,

And the magnificence of the Lord’s creativity.

With trees so lush and fruit so sweet

A ground cover so green and soft beneath your feet.

A tropical place in heart and mind

A glorious spot for all souls to dine.

An ethereal land that spans beyond my human mind.

A place that signifies the reverence for life,

Within this heavenly sphere.

It is a sanctuary of God’s eternal love

And life without fear.

I am on my journey

And I pray that I walk this way.

To this path in such a holy place

Where I see your luminous grace.

(msuzanne April 6, 2012)

Since I started this blog (3 weeks ago) I have been very inspired by a website called photobotos.com Everyday they feature beautiful and creative photographs that have opened my eyes and heart to other parts of the world, that I have never seen, and now I plan to someday see. With every photo I am struck in awe by the incredible creativity of God. The beauty created in every part of our universe, the diversity in God’s creativeness and yet the similarity, all created out of love and with joy.  I am filled with joy to know I live in this incredible universe with inspirational diversity.
