I Saw the Universe
I can see the cerulean blue of the skies Or the indigo of the night I can see the stars wink, the grin of the moon During the changes of it's monthly face ** I am in awe ** I see the sun on it's annual trek Alternately awakening the life in the earth And then fading away to allow it to sleep Until the next spring ** I am told the Universe is "out there" Beyond those stars, moon and sun, Yet the power of what I can see Is a fathoming beyond my comprehension ** I am in awe ** "Out there" no time, no seasons pass No sense of age, hatred or loss exist Only the infinity 0f the Universe ** What IS "out there"? What IS the Universe that has no end? What IS the power that creates all this? I want to see it too ** And then I remember..... ** I saw it once, this gift of glimpse In the eyes of a granddaughter five minutes old As I held her to my heart and gazed Into the depths of eternal wisdom and love ** It was but a moment Before the bonds of her earthly body Began to pull her To her purpose of this lifetime ** But from that instant I knew The Universe is everywhere Love exists Each one of us carries The Universe in our soul ** It is not "out there, but "in here" And can be glimpsed in the Eyes of a newly born child As she shares the messsage she brings of Universal Love. ** I am in awe ******** Lynn Moore is a Life Coach specializing in personal empowerment.

Or how about an interesting relationship that roots itself deep in your memory... Here's my double take on someone who caught my eye years ago and invited me to play footsies in a work cafeteria. Although nothing ever involved from this infatuation, he has never left my thoughts. The Man Who Could Not Say Sorry For His Sins Sorry would be a start. Four Poems: Two for the Devil, Two for Peru Here is some witty poetry (not sure if that is the proper word: witty, but it will do): one poem on the Aztec year 2012, a year that has been in the public's eye quite a lot; one on cloning, and the biblical end time events--which, if I may add seems ripe for the monster events that are said to take place; and two poems dealing with some tradtions of Peru; one imparticular, on vacationing, where not to go; all the makings for some thought. Live For Today... Isn't that what they say?But what does that mean?There's no definition that mayanswer that question... Mechanical Poetry; Part Two What do you do when you want to write poetry? I hope your answer is "I start writing." Even writing a bad poem is better than waiting for the "right words." You can always throw it away, and the process has begun. You'll start to find the words sooner than if you had just waited. Here are some more ways to get started. Rocks Take some time to stop and look at nature. Pick up a rock or two and think about where it might have started out and what it might have gone through to end up where you found it. Learn About Love From Poet Rumi In this modern age of technology, busy lifestyles, and obsession with consumerism have taken a lot of the romance and love out of our lives. The Internet has become a medium to connect with people as everyone is finding it a lot harder to meet one another in the 'real' world. It has undeniably also become a place of voyeuristic fantasy in the realms of sexuality on pornographic sites. What ever happened to true love? Are our priorities so messed up that romance has been forgotten, only to be experienced vicariously through television and movies? The answer is no. Romance will never die; we just have to feed it with our energy. The Lull of Twilight [Over Mantaro Valley] In English and Spanish Twilight, was now beginning. As for Two Poems: San Jeronimo Brook & [in English and Spanish] Fair Andes! Thy arms reach high The Crusader: A Search for the Virtue Inside (an excerpt of an Epic Poem) On through the darkness she searches the bonesSeeking the hand of her love;Deep in the stillness, the maid searches on,Petitioning help from above.Onward she gropes through the flesh and the bloodOf the warriors disfigured and maimed;She carries no hope for the life of her love -For naught but his body she came.To see his face and cradle his head,Hold him close to her breast;Shed bitter tears at her sweet love's endAnd give him peaceful rest.
