the beauty of the trees

the softness of the air

the fragrance of the grass

speaks to me

and my heart soars

stop
the turning wheels of your mind
look
the miracle of life is happening all around you
walk
out that door with a heart filled with wonder
breathe
it all in
you
are alive
feel
the rhythm of a heart pulsing within you
you
are a part of this miracle
here, now
bask in the splendor of it all

Yes, I’ve gone and done it again.  Another found poem.  This time instead of contrasting two poets together, I have taken one poet: Mary Oliver and pulled pieces from 8 different poems to bring together a brand new poem.  I’ve taken no more than two to four lines from each poem.  Each verse is from [...]

First Snow ~ Mary Oliver

Posted in Inspiration, Life, Mary Oliver, Poetry, tagged , , on December 9, 2009 | 4 Comments »

The snow
began here
this morning and all day
continued, its white
rhetoric everywhere
calling us back to why, how,
whence such beauty and what
the meaning; such
an oracular fever! flowing
past windows, an energy it seemed
would never ebb, never settle
less than lovely! and only now,
deep into night,
it has finally ended.
The silence
is immense,
and the heavens still hold
a million candles, nowhere
the familiar things:
stars, the [...]

Blustery Day

Posted in Inspiration, Life, Poetry, elizabeth adams, tagged , , , , , on November 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

a blustery autumn day today
the last of the maples
the cherries and the stately alders
releasing their leaves
they compel me to set free
the old that hangs on
in favor of what newness
may blossom
from my limbs

Follow Your Bliss

Follow your bliss, those were the immortal words of Joseph Campbell and oft quoted by Abraham Hicks.  I love its simple message coupled with Abraham’s message that appreciation is what brings us closest to our true nature and Source Energy.   G.K. Chesterton also said: “praise should be the permanent pulsation of the soul”.  I [...]

Heaven in a Wildflower

To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

A Day Like Today

Posted in Inspiration, Life, Poetry, elizabeth adams, tagged , , on March 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

heavy your skies labored today
rain
hail
rain
hail again
and snow
sights and sounds that left me
breathless at my window
deep sunset now and I am
swept in crimson and coral
raindrops hang like glass ornaments
look closely and I am happily lost
deep in your world.

Signs of Spring

Posted in Happiness, Inspiration, Life, Poetry, elizabeth adams, tagged , on March 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

The earth is my new employer.  My job now is to look for the signs of Spring.
And no, I’m not going to tell you that it’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it.
I’ve been asked just to notice and this is what I observed:
here the green grass awake from its dormancy
and in need of [...]
