Belief
Our life is a mirror reflecting our beliefs
Whether laced with joy or riddled with grief
We can only see what we believe real
What we don’t believe can’t be revealed
Change your belief system and you will see
Changed beliefs manifest into reality
Remove the false veil of impossibilities
Infuse your imagination into actualities

Another spiritual riddle – I hold the key to unshackle resentment
I can clear one’s mind to move beyond
Perceived misdeeds occuring in time now gone
I can free the mind of duplicitous locks
Evading spirit with mental blocks
Blocks and Locks preventing joy and pleasure
From freely roaming at their leasure
I hold the key to unshackle resentment
That tricks one’s mind out of contentment
I can relieve the body, mind and spirit
Of inequities which, in reality, presently, hold no merit
Weaved deception and rejection I shall unweave
Derived from Love; empathy I conceive
I can release one’s spirit of the heavy weight
That dims one’s soul; unravelled fate
I empower the anquished breath to exhale serenity
I inspire the soul to dance in bliss with eternity
A humble spirit; yet many find me hard to possess
With love, I discard all trespasses
Compassion brings forth my blessedness
I am…

Mine Own Worst Enemy; Mine Own Best Friend
Repost for myself; as mine own worst enemy seems to be creeping in more often, here lately…… Do you battle with your own worst enemy too? If so, remember your best friend is always there to comfort you.
Thought for The Day: Have you hugged yourself, today? ~CordieB
This poem was inspired by a very, very good friend and confidant, who often shares with us her own worst enemy and her own best friend over at Just Paisley and Why Paisley . Also, a fellow artist, TekkieBrek, planted the seed for this poem with his beautiful artwork, shown in reduced size below.
Mine own worst enemy and mine own best friend…
an infinate circle of sainthood and sin…
have always been with me; from beginning to end
through good times; through bad times; thick and thin
Both have tugged at my soul since God only knows when. . .
Mine own worst enemy screams words of hurt and dispair…
then my best friend comes to my aide with comfort and care
she hugs me ever so gently; caresses my soul
whilst mine own worst enemy digs a dark hole
into the core of my heart creating disbelief
in the beauty of life; thus making it hard to concieve…
a life worth living; a love worth giving…
then mine own best friend again comes along
she kisses my spirit; sings me a beautiful song
of love and joy; bright sunny skies
she reminds me of the falsness of the hurt, pain and lies…
that mine own worst enemy so often spews…
she opens the funny pages in the mist of bad news…
Yes, she awakens my spirit and rocks me to sleep
as I moan, as I tremble, as I lay, as I weep…
She caresses my head; massages my tired, aching feet
Sending mine own worst enemy into a silent retreat. . .
where mine own worst enemy gathers strength for another blow
launching me once more into a wreckless, dispairing low
Yet, I endure with patient vigilence for the love within
to give renewed strength, courage and wisdom to mine own best friend . . .

From Lush to Love
This poem was written in response to Simply Snickers Prompt. This week’s words were look, line, and lush. This week, we celebrate the birthday of French Impressionist and Pointillist painter Camille Pissarro, who was born on July 10, 1830. Thanks Linda for the inspiration on this one. I was also inspired by a recent post written by Tobeme, End of the Rope. Thanks, Tobeme!
- Woman Hanging Laundry by Cammile Pissaro, 1887
From Lush to Love
In the very back of the garden, behind the evergreen bush
resides a homeless gent who years ago was labeled a lush
life had dealt him a bad hand; he’d reached the end of his rope
so he drowned his misery and pain and gave up all hope
and as life would have it, with a bottle of wine at his table
the poor gent became just what his peers had labeled
In the middle of the garden under the bright sunshine
stood a single mother hanging cloths on the line
She knew the pain of being judged and ostracized
Yet with the faith of her being, above all obstacles she’d rised
she found a loving connection with the man at her garden’s inn
so she made it a point that he’d have at least one friend
so each day after retrieving her cloths off the line
she’d invite him into her home for a hot meal and wine
he’d tell her the stories that lead to his fall from grace
to each sad story she’d give a positive spin in its place
she reminded him he had a beautiful soul and loving heart
as time moved on he embraced each day with a fresh new start
he developed a positive out look on life and love
Discovering his his true self, he became aligned thereof
and as life would have it, with a bottle of wine at the table…
the peaceful gent became just what the kind mother had labeled

Spritual Riddle…I am the Greatest Spirit of All!
I am kind and patient; not boastful or proud…
I am all knowing, yet humble; not boisterous or loud
I am secure in my stead; not untrusting or jealous
I keep no scores of bad deeds; I’m forgiving….unrebellious
I am thankful for mine; of your’s I’m not envious
I don’t hold resentment to ferment my soul…
In-line with my spirit, it is compassion I hold!
I’m not judgmental; I allow others to be…
That which they are; so their souls might be free
Knowing we all are created from the same mighty force
Good, bad or indifferent; of the same Holy source!
I rejoice in the truth; refrain from deception…
Persevere with great hope, amid pain or rejection.
Not easily angered, remaining kind and protective…
Willing to look closely at life from another’s perspective.
I am the foundation of all Creation thereof…
I’m the most powerful, unfailing, Spirit of all
…I Am the Spirit of Love…
~Written by CordieB, Inspired by 1st Corinthian’s 13 and of course….. Love.
Quote for the Day: When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child; I reasoned like a child. As I grew, I put childish ways behind me. Then I saw but a poor reflection, as in a mirror. Now I see face to face. Then, I knew only in part. Now I know fully and I am fully known.
And now these three remain…
Faith
Hope
Love
But the greatest of these is…
LOVE
~1 Corinthians 13, The Bible
Another Quote: Knowing is realizing we don’t know it all ~CordieB.
Peace, Light and Love….
No. I Can’t See the Wind…
No, I can’t see the wind. . .
but I can feel her chill down to my bones..
I can feel her warmth as she comforts my soul…
I see the effects of his force as he bristles over infinite blades of grass;
Each blade dancing individually, yet collectively to the wind’s sweet song. . .
I can see the magnitude of his majesty as the tree branches sway, too and fro…
No. I must admit, I have never seen the wind. . .
Yet, I can see how she touches all and everything…
in unison. . .still, independently…
I have seen how she has changed whole landscapes in seconds…
I have witnesses her bring the 200 year old mighty oak to the ground…
I watch her invisible force lift vast oceans onto shores…
I have witnesses her carry a kite into the glimpse of the sun
She gently lifts the sparrow into graceful flight….
He gently runs his fingers through the strands of my hair…
I feel his gentle touch caress my skin…
And. . . there are times when he simply takes my breath away…
Alas, I am but a feather in the wind…
she picks me up and takes me on many experiences,
then she gently lands me on the bountiful land
No. I confess, I have yet to see the wind. . . himself…
But I feel his effects each moment I live. . .
I feel his presence…omnipotent…
I know his power … and his grace…
and I am ever so grateful for the wind….
I shall forever love the wind. . .
