Best Ourselves Poems


Ourselves
You know what you achieve by criticizing??????????
Nothing

Its merely fodder for the sad
In order to make themselves feel better

But do you know what can be achieved??????????
When the subject is encouraged

Anything
You know the subject actually even gets better

But that is sadly not the way we work
We do...

Premium Member Look At Ourselves
If we look in the mirror
What do we see
If we look behind us
Is it other than thee

If we do a wrong
Does it make it right
If we apologise
Does it change our sight

To all who have done wrong
Raise your hands
If not here
In other lands

There is many a...

so as 

to enable our souls to be at peace with God

We Have Only Ourselves To Blame  


The way we live now seems barely the same,
Enduring one ecological disaster after another.
It’s obvious we have only ourselves to blame
For changing the climate and the weather.

Enduring one ecological disaster after another:
Rampant forest fires, pollution, desertification. 
For changing...

Knowing Ourselves
In this life time 
I met many people
In all walks of life 
Some were funny
And some were boring
However when I changed my focus
I have had chosen to glimpsed
And talked with 
A wonderful person as you
As our words rippled 
In our hearts and minds
Somewhat indeed I...

To See Ourselves As Others See Us
To See Ourselves As Others See Us

By Elton Camp

What we’re like we may think we know
Others very well might not agree, though

For in my mirror I see a kindly old goat
But others a different conclusion may note

Then there’s Sue who thinks she’s a looker
Perhaps others...

Someone Lives, Greater Than Ourselves
Some people say that God does not exist
Because they cannot see his face or hold
His hand. The denial of the atheists,
The Godless ones, should make our blood run cold.

We see the face of God in lightning storms
And recognize his touch in rainbows bright.
The mountains echo...

Ourselves
Ourselves

The world is filled with temptation.
The heart is filled with desires.
The eye’s is filled with it own truth.
The mind is on the breaking point of sane and insanity.

We are only human.
We are only creatures, neither light nor dark.
We are only ourselves.

Some wear mask to defeat...

Premium Member Other Than Ourselves
Wayward, frolic into left wings
That which brings me different
Wave of introspection
Putting myself into harm’s way
If I stay where I’m at
I could become nothing
But I desire to be more than
So I harvest a new timeline
Belonging to myself only
But truth be known
It’s just a left wing 
Nut...

Surviving Ourselves
       by Odin Roark

Blame game trollops 
Cruise our insides
Willing to plant more guilt
Defying accountability
To take a stand

Conscience-bots
Perform recon
Patrolling vulnerabilities
Knowing no man’s land
Between heart and mind
Have always
Will always
Be pregnable passage

Yet

The front lines of the heart
Grasp one’s dug in fortification
Mind’s...

"In restoring the land, I restore myself."

We noticed trees in an old secular commodified above ground

All of Ourselves
I am the eyes of the poor
Hungry and searching for more
They look on in awe
Of the wonders of beauty that surrounds them
But fails to embrace
I would give what I had
To make the feeling of worth come back
And the eyes shine
Once again
But giving material possessions
Would only...

Finding Ourselves
As the days grow shorter and the nights have more length,
We have more time to ponder on God and receive more of His strength.
To pick up the pace where once we were slack,
And to know it is into God’s arms we can always fall back.

Premium Member Spiritual Visions
Spiritual visions are gifted not to just a select few
May the warm glow embrace us in calm sincere rapture
Allow not dogma guide us toward an elusive grand view
Or a truer and lusher emerald pasture

By grace, our inner sanctum ignites in a blaze
leaving all judgements behind...
