Let the sadness pass through you (poem)

12 May

Let the sadness pass through you

Lost within sadness, feeling withdrawn and forlorn,
The warmth is beyond reach upon this sunny dawn.
There is too much sadness reaching into your heart,
The world around you seems to be falling apart.
The world around you has brought this sadness to you,
And within your world there seems to be no way through.

But this sadness you feel will not linger nor last,
Your world will change and this will fade into your past.
You may not be able to feel anything just now,
But that brighter day will come, for your heart knows how.
Your heart knows that as time passes, your heart will heal,
Even thought just for now, that is not how you feel.

Do not dwell on the sadness you have found here,
The world of sunshine will slowly rise and get near.
The world of sadness will slowly fade and withdraw,
You will find that your life will have meaning once more.
Just let this sadness within drift gently on by,
One day it will pass through you, leaving a clear sky.

I haven’t run out of my dreams yet (poem)

21 Apr

I haven’t run out of my dreams yet

I haven’t run out of my dreams yet,
Although it may now seem that way.
It just that I sometimes forget,
To remember them upon this day.

They are all still there deep within,
Safe and secure within my heart.
So, perhaps it’s time to begin,
To seek out a dream to restart.

I will take a moment or two,
Remembering what they all were.
Then pluck one back into view,
And with my life, give it a stir.

It can wash away all the gloom,
That this world has installed in me.
In my mind, make plenty of room,
Preparing to set the dream free.

I will open my life once more,
To all that the dream has to give.
I will seek out happiness door,
And let this dream begin to live.

The ships of Love and Hope (poem)

18 Mar

The ships of Love and Hope

Within the storms of chaos,
Ride the ships of Love and Hope,
And when you are at a loss,
They will come to help you cope.
Sailing through inner turmoil,
Rescuing you from despair,
Guiding you to firmer soil,
And leaving you safely there.

Their sails stand tall and strong,
Their rudders guide you to the new,
Upon those ships you belong,
As they sail into your view.
From the raging sea of life,
They will lift you up onboard,
A refuge from all that strife,
From all that pain and discord.

Take the help they bring to you,
Let Love and Hope guide you now,
Trust in the changes they do,
For Love and Hope will know how.
Their ships are always around,
Sailing through every wave,
And when you want to be found,
They will always come and save.

Let the search for a new life begin (poem)

25 Feb

Let the search for a new life begin

Let the search for a new life begin,
Seeking a path away from the old.
Chasing all of the shadows within,
Seeking for a candle you can hold.
Turning your heart from its darkest night,
Turning your life towards a new dawn.
Letting fresh hope come into your sight,
Letting go of the dark and forlorn.

Opening up all of life’s windows,
Letting tomorrow come through the door.
Moving to where hopes sunrise now shows,
Letting your sadness be there no more.
Turning away from yesterday’s pain,
Turning towards where your life can restart.
Tomorrow’s hope is there to regain,
Just let its light back into your heart.

Come, let us all go towards the new (poem)

31 Dec

Come, let us all go towards the new

Come, let us all go towards the new,
Let us leave the past to yesterday.
Come, let us seek out a better view,
Let us travel a different way.

Let a new dawn be found from tonight,
With a tomorrow to hold our dreams.
Bringing a bright new world into sight,
Filled with bird songs and bubbling streams.

Come, let us build a new tomorrow,
Let us grow love and heal all the pain.
Come, let us lessen all the sorrow,
Let us find happiness once again.

Let the new dawn throw away the old,
Replacing it with hope we can share.
Bringing a warmth to replace the cold,
A chance to show the world that we care.

Giving the gifts of forgiveness (poem)

24 Dec

Giving the gifts of forgiveness

The gifts of forgiveness are wrapped up with thoughtfulness,
Each gift is selected with a touch of tenderness.
Each gift has a purpose, special to those who receive,
To encourage them in your forgiveness, to believe.

There’s the gift of understanding, that you understand why,
How it all went wrong, and can we give it another try.
There’s the gift of peace, saying please let the anger go?
Let’s find some harmony and let the peacefulness grow.

It includes an apology, regardless of who was right,
Saying ‘let’s forgive and forget’, let the past fade from sight,
There is the salve of healing, for the wounds and the pain,
To mend the scars and make the friendship healthy again.

Lastly there’s the gift of kindness, letting them know you care,
That in any problems they may face, then you will be there.
The gifts of forgiveness are always handmade and true,
Delivered by hand and made within the heart of you.

When the year is at its darkest (poem)

03 Dec

When the year is at its darkest

When the year is at its darkest, with the sunshine far away,
And without that warming sun, it becomes another cold day.
On this dark winter’s day you may find it hard to make it through,
But even when the world is cold, your heart will be warm in you.

This day will not linger, its darkness was never meant to last,
And without even trying, this day will fade into your past.
Where this day will take you to, there may be no way of knowing,
But even if you rest a while, this day will keep on going.

Tomorrow will always come to us, bringing to us its light,
Sending whispers of hopes new dawn, spreading into this dark night.
It may seem far away, and on the horizon barely seen,
But the dawn is coming, bringing a new day all fresh and clean.

When the year is at its darkest, hopes light can always be found,
It may seem to be hiding, but it’s always somewhere around.
Somewhere not too far away, someone will have some they can share,
Then one day within your own heart, you will find hopes light is there.

It’s Not Raining Yet (poem)

05 Jun

It’s Not Raining Yet

It’s not raining yet, even though the skies are dull and grey,
Clouds are filling every horizon, have they come to stay?
It’s starting to feel like this greyness will never fade away,
But should I let that hold me back from living my life today?

It’s not raining yet, and above those clouds the skies are blue,
And who knows, those grey clouds may yet fade away from view.
To disappear from my life, for they were just passing through,
So let’s start planning for something to go outside and do!

It’s not raining yet, so back out into the world I shall go,
I shouldn’t hide indoors just because the sun is not on show.
Even if it does rain a bit, it will help the plants to grow,
Whatever the weather, there’s a beautiful world out there to know.

Beyond the darkness, a new world comes (poem)

06 Feb

Beyond the darkness, a new world comes

Beyond the far horizon, the sun will return again,
Though darkness be with us now, its shadows will not remain.
These dark times will depart at the coming of the sun,
For always light follows darkness, somewhere the dawn’s begun.

The spinning of the Earth brings to us both darkness and light,
As soon as the darkness begins, tomorrow is in sight.
It may be a while yet before its light and warm once more,
But it is coming, for it has never failed to come before.

Upon the hint of dawns first light, we can begin to see,
The world tomorrow is bringing to us, to you and to me.
It will not be yesterday, for that was a darkness ago,
And what is coming after the dawn, we have yet to know.

The dark night may have been a struggle, so hard to get through,
That the world coming with this dawn, is so different and new.
Perhaps the darkness changed many things, that we are now afraid,
But in this new dawn, love can be found, and a future remade.

Sail away from Sadness (poem)

17 Oct

Sail away from Sadness

Upon the island of sadness, hope is growing,
Upon the far horizon, dreams light up the sky.
Upon this dawn, the winds of promise are blowing,
Across the seas, the sounds of a new life drift by.
Yesterday’s stillness departs as the night fades away,
With dawn’s beginning, comes a journey towards hope.
Upon that sad island, you were never meant to stay,
You were just tied to its sadness with yesterday’s rope.

Release the rope and let your fears float out of sight,
Let dawns tide sweep you away from yesterday’s beach.
Let the wind of hope sail you towards the light,
Bringing the dreams of tomorrow within your reach.
From the stillness, move to where your life can restart,
Sail away from sadness, leaving the past behind.
Landing in tomorrow with fresh hope in your heart,
Where upon the new beach a new life you will find.
