Let the World spin on its own (poem)

07 Dec

Let the World spin on its own

Life is spinning round you as you try to find a way,
Confusion replacing certainty on this long day.
When your normality starts to become the unknown,
Make this the moment to let the world spin on its own.

Stepping back will not stop the real world from spinning round,
Harmony returns when you toss your stress to the ground.
Take a walk somewhere, perhaps visit the countryside,
Stroll by the river, then watch nature from a bird hide.

Slow your life down and leave the real world to walk on by,
The sun doesn’t need your help as it crosses the sky.
Life carries on, whether you run or stroll through this day,
The dawn will still arrive as the world spins on its way.

Let all the tension leave you, just go off and explore,
Wander round a park that you visited long before.
Be pleasantly surprised when you see how much has grown,
Life’s amazing when you let the world spin on its own.

There is always tomorrow (poem)

26 May

There is always tomorrow

There is always tomorrow, for time never stands still,
If today cannot find a way, then tomorrow will.
If today’s going nowhere and your past cannot guide,
Tomorrow brings a light from which today cannot hide.
It may seem very dim and almost out of your sight,
Just hold onto hope, for tomorrow carries its light.
Just look to the future, it begins every day,
Within every tomorrow there will be a way.
Let tomorrow’s hope guide you, when life’s going nowhere,
Just look into your heart, tomorrows light shines in there.

Sweep away all the bad bits (poem)

26 Nov

Sweep away all the bad bits

Sweep away all the bad bits, clear them out of your mind,
Opening up some clear space for the good bits to find.
It may be an effort, there may be a lot to do,
But it will be worth it, once you have seen the task through.
Open the windows, let the staleness out of the place,
Feel the breeze of new hope drift in, let it touch your face.
Let the light of possibilities return once more,
Then turn towards tomorrow and open up its door.

Sweet memories that are yet to be (poem)

05 Nov

Sweet memories that are yet to be

Sweet memories that are yet to be,
A better future that I can see.
A promising start for tomorrow,
A life that will lessen my sorrow.
It’s not quite here, but it’s not too far,
Its light is there, like a shining star.
Soon it will be a part of my life,
Ready to sweep away any strife.

Sitting in this moment, inbetween,
I can reflect on all that I’ve seen.
Not everything was bad, that I know,
But some things, I will gladly let go.
Some things are worth keeping, tucked away,
As memories for another day.
The rest I will leave here in a stack,
For I may occasionally look back.

I can see the time’s arrived at last,
Time for me to let go of the past.
That those sweet memories will now start,
As I stand up from here and depart.
I have no idea what I will find,
As I now let the future unwind.
As I start walking towards the new,
Already there is a better view.

Should I worry or not? (poem)

15 Apr

Should I worry or not?

Should I worry or not? Just which should I do?
Which way should I choose, I have not got a clue.
Should I stay calm and serene, give a big smile?
Show that all is well, at least for a short while.
Or should I worry about what I’ve forgot?
Show everyone that I have lost the plot?
Not an easy choice in this new day that I see,
So let’s just choose between a coffee or tea.

What use is worrying? What would it achieve?
What benefit would the world or I receive?
I know that everything may not be right,
But does that mean I should worry and take flight?
Just what good would it do if I let fear win?
So with a touch of calmness, this day will begin.
Who knows, my worry’s may yet all fade away,
Dissolved by calmness as I walk through this day.

Without Hesitation (poem)

27 Aug

Without Hesitation

A busy life, a busy day, so much to do,
Running round in circles, trying to see things through.
The minds in confusion, stretched in every way,
Maybe a sudden stop is what you need today.
Take a sudden respite, take a step or two back,
And see that peace and calm is what your senses lack.
Pull back on the reigns before your life begins to sink,
Call it hesitation, but it gives you time to think.
Without hesitation, all caution could be lost,
Without hesitation, your world could be the cost.

A quiet time, a quiet day, free to be you,
Free to drift around, to choose what you want to do.
The mind can seek out harmony, rest in bliss,
Leave the world far behind, there’s nothing there to miss.
Wallow in peacefulness, recharge and recover,
Look around you and see what you can discover.
Maybe take a glance at the craziness still there,
Then of another’s plight, you may become aware.
Without hesitation, you could stretch out your hand,
Without hesitation, you could help them to stand.

Kindness, A user’s guide (poem)

12 Mar

Kindness, a user’s guide

Within all of us, kindness can be found,
Just take a piece and add it to your day.
Keep it with you, wherever you are bound,
And let kindness guide you along your way.

So how can you find it when you are lost?
Can it be found amid uncertainty?
Know this, that kindness comes without a cost,
It is found all around, because it’s free.

Even within emptiness, kindness lives,
Even in confusion, kindness will grow,
Even in times of hardship, kindness gives,
The light of kindness is always on show.

Kindness can soon appear within a smile,
At a moment when someone is in need.
That tells them that their struggle is worthwhile,
That one day soon, their journey will succeed.

Kindness can be a hand that’s reaching out,
Or a gesture that says it is okay.
Kindness can restore hope that’s lost in doubt,
Use it to help others to find their way.

Kindness is found within a gentle voice,
Giving them encouragement to be strong.
Saying to them there is a better choice,
To not give up and just to carry on.

Kindness is a gift there for you to share,
That once given, may fade away from view.
Yet, kindness never leaves you standing there,
For kindness is still living within you.

A blank piece of paper (poem)

02 Oct

A blank piece of paper

A blank piece of paper sitting there in front of you,
Revealing nothing, but with so much there you can do.
A place you can write or draw, the choice is yours this day,
Just pick up a pen or pencil and doddle away!
It doesn’t have to make sense, just release what’s in your mind,
It’s amazing what’s in there, waiting for you to find.
Perhaps just a few squiggles, to the top or to the side,
Or slap bang in the middle, a circle can reside.

Some words could be written, whatever comes into your head,
You could write them backwards, or upside-down instead.
Once you start writing, more words may start to come along
Who knows, you could even end up writing a new song.
You could add in a drawing, fill up an empty space,
Lots of little doddles going all over the place.
When you have done and there’s nothing left you want to try,
You could make a paper aeroplane and let it fly.

A Reflection of Beauty (poem)

26 Jun

A Reflection of Beauty

The person in the mirror who is looking back at me,
Must be myself, for there is no one else it can ever be.
Every curve, every bump, everything there is true,
And there is no possible chance that it could ever be you.
But what does it matter, that reflection I see in there?
It means nothing at all, no matter how long I stand and stare.
Whether I am tall or short, overweight or very thin,
It is within my heart that the echoes of myself begin.
It is only the surface of me that is reflected back,
For the beauty of my true self, does that reflection lack.

My true self can be seen in all that I do and in what I say,
The kindness that I give to others I may met upon this day.
My thoughtfulness in any deeds for those around me that I do,
All show the person that I truly am, to others and to you.
If I can make someone laugh once more, when they are feeling low,
If I can encourage someone, when their life is running slow.
If I can pick someone up and carry them that extra yard,
If I can make someone’s life easier, when their life becomes hard.
Then beautiful is what I am, for my beauty spreads right through,
If all you see is the surface, then I have only pity for you.

Kindness has no barriers (poem)

28 Nov

Kindness has no barriers

Kindness has no barriers, there’s no surrounding wall,
You cannot lock it away behind an iron door.
Kindness has no prejudices, it is available to all,
You cannot hide it away beneath the kitchen floor.

Kindness is so gentle, as soft as a floating feather,
Landing gracefully upon a waiting outstretched hand.
Kindness is so strong, it can survive any weather,
With its strength you can help a fallen stranger to stand.

Let kindness be your guiding light whenever darkness falls,
For with it, you can let the light of love shine bold and bright.
Let kindness be your voice, letting others hear its calls,
For with it, you can guide them through the darkest night.

Kindness is the answer when there’s nothing else to be found,
Ready to be used in times when there is no other way.
Giving kindness to yourself, as well as to those around,
Will mend a broken life and help to bring a better day.
