Best Resilience Poems

Like a knockout blow 
In the final round

The challenges comes 
All at once 
How you cope will depend on how you see them 
It's not always black and white
Pastel shades 
Are all abound

You can get through this 
Even if you have to tick 
Them off...

Now I lay with everywhere around,
softly rains your lines, your curves, your sound
upon my dreams, day awakens from death and yet
clouds drift around my head, loosened from regret.

It is at moments after I have dreamed
whispers seep into my veins of love redeemed.
Secrets clutched in trembling...

When I mention my morning meditation practice,
many respond with wishes and hopes
they could
would
should discipline themselves
to also join in to this practice
practice
praxis
until fragmented uncommunicative ego/ecosystems
finally get life resiliently realistically right
more than ego-narcissistically wrong.

But this,
I ego-think and eco-feel,
reverses what is a more centrally profound point
of ZeroZone cosmic-organic...

Excerpts from the compilation: “Prayer” 7
Inner Strength, Resilience.

I wish that each of us rediscovers their Inner Strength 
And we understand that is a wild, 
serene and pure treasure 
That is simply forgotten - not lost.
Especially in the moments 
when we need to say “no” or...

In the quiet of my heart, a storm brews,
Winds of sorrow whisper in the silence.
A weight presses, heavy, unkind,
A solitude that never finds its end.


Loneliness wraps around like a shroud,
Cold, suffocating, relentless.
The world moves on, indifferent,
While I stand still, lost in shadows.


My cries echo in...

In the middle ages
these roughed and scuffed decades
between newborn crocus snow-melt-nursed and
dried hydrangea blooms sepia-skinned and papery thin
I earned the right to wear sapphires
and burn my mademoiselle mistakes with wisdom-fires

it took me a while to grow into my autumn season
—the autumn side of September
hair once...

Poetic Ode to Mother



In the realm of love, she reigns supreme,
A guiding light, a nurturing dream.
With tender touch and caring embrace,
She weaves a tapestry of love and grace.

Her voice, a melody that soothes the soul,
A lullaby that makes the heart feel whole.
Through every triumph and...

It is Good Friday
Remember, remember
When, for Jesus, everything was nasty and sour
When things were very bad for Jesus
Yet, we don’t say: bad Friday
Afterwards, so everything could be good for us
Jesus was slapped
Jesus was kidnapped
Jesus was humiliated
Jesus was insulted
Jesus was beaten, kicked and hit
From head to...

Quest For Eternal Love



                             no oasis in sight just blazing sand dunes

In life…
Whether you remain as plain toast,
Or into a soldier you are cut,
Whether you are covered in marmalade,
Or dipped into yolk from an egg cup,
In life there’s one main rule, should you fall…
Stay butter side up!...

I decided I had had enough.
I felt put upon, and I was mad, and I was not going back to the counseling program.
I was only a year in, and there was no way I was going to put myself in this predicament another year.
It was...

“wallpaper shadow, creeps among the moon flowers, I loved you daddy”

You stole my flower
darkness sought to devour
heart’s silken petals innocent
self loves golden brilliance
rise fresh, new day radiant
and shall overcome anything

New rains kiss the earth,
Seeds sprout from the darkened depths,
Life dances anew....

In quiet corners where no one sees,
Two hearts find solace, though love's not free.
A gentle touch, a fleeting smile,
In a world that deems their love a trial.

Their love, a secret they must protect,
From judging eyes and harsh neglect.
They hold each other in the dark,
Wishing the...

She is a Pacific ocean 
Tranquil from outside
tumultuous from with in
 
         Shallow it seems from the  surface
         But deep, very deep it descends... 

And what things it...
