Powerful Words
by Beth Layne Poetry on Dec.12, 2009, under Uncategorized
So powerful are the words that you speak -
Why, indeed, do you speak to me in this way;
Hidden in the shadows, concealing yourself?
Light is truth, opened wide – words you say.
Is it then, a game you play? – you do see me -
That acknowledgement, I give, that you seek;
In tune, indeed, or did this take study?
Clever, you are, in knowing where I am weak.
Is your intent, then, to frighten? -
To leave me with no clues in reality;
Are you waiting for me to see it clearly? -
To my life, there is no thing as normality.
You know that I am observing – yet still -
You seek what is not mine to give;
Answers come through me, not from me -
It is for the growth of others I live.

You Are Me
by Beth Layne Poetry on Dec.12, 2009, under Uncategorized, love poem, love poetry
In every moment I see your smile -
You should be here with me;
I long to feel your gentle touch -
But I wonder now, will this be?
Connected across time and land -
To know your heart once again;
Your boundless soul knows mine -
But this time, will my heart win?
A fleeting thought I know is yours -
A song I hear, always in my mind;
I know you are thinking of me -
But, will my heart, you find?
I can see through time and space -
But, your love I cannot see;
I can feel what others feel inside -
Separate I cannot, for you are me.
As if looking in the mirror -
To see the other side I hide;
There I am inside your heart -
Where my love will forever abide.

My Lover’s Clovers
by Beth Layne Poetry on Jul.09, 2009, under love poem, love poetry, medium poetry, spirit poem, spirit poetry, spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Skimming slowly through the grass, feet bare -
In a meditative state with the nature sounds;
Lost in my silence, not expecting you there -
And then your energy suddenly surrounds…
My eyes wide open, I see your bare foot -
Only half an inch pointing toward my own;
Just in between, a four leaf clover as if put -
By your hand, into the ground, sewn.
A warmness comes as I hold the clover -
Memories swirl of a much different time;
Brought to a halt as if all was over -
Enchanted, as I enter the sublime.
A miracle accepted, though not expected -
I go back to my enchanting, inward escape;
Then, around the corner, your foot resurrected -
And two more four leaf clovers take shape!
I expected the three for the boys and me –
Delighted you chose to acknowledge us all;
Then, my sweet girl screams with delight –
As she runs giggling toward me with her doll.
“Look, look! See what I have!” -
Squeals my excited little bumble of energy;
She holds yet another four leaf clover –
I am amazed by the miraculous synergy.
Just behind her, I hear your laugh –
So uniquely you, even from there;
Tears streaming, I am so very grateful –
You have brought the peace of my prayer.

The Fire Within
by Beth Layne Poetry on Jul.09, 2009, under empathic poem, empathic poetry, spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Find the ember that starts the flame -
Let flame light flame through your being;
Let loose the creativity inside you -
Then visions of heaven, you’ll be seeing.
Let your spirit soar beyond all fears -
Look back in triumph from where you are;
Love with every ounce of your heart -
Dance in gratitude for every star.
Set loose the oxygen to fully ignite -
Breathe deeply and exhale the weight;
Know you are meant to glow with light -
Come now, my friend and make your fate!
Close your eyes and visualize it all -
Everything you deeply desire to be;
Let the gratitude flow through you -
Open your eyes, and you shall see!
Take hold of what deeply gratifies you -
Therein lies the mysterious key;
There is reason for what moves your soul -
Follow it, and you will be free.

Unlocked Treasure
by Beth Layne Poetry on Jul.09, 2009, under empathic poem, empathic poetry, love poem, love poetry
At times I’ve thought to break the silence -
That lingers still between you and I;
Uncertain if I really should do that or not -
Wondering if you’ve thought of our goodbye;
To share such, as all that we shared -
Distance between us so vast and great;
How can one just simply walk away -
From a paths that crossed by fate?
Irrational words burst through emotion -
No time to think, impatient with pain;
Angry for all I was willing to risk -
Feelings to work out, of shame.
Did not you know my heart indeed -
Or was it all for the pleasure?
Reality or fear, I still do not know -
To run from an unlocked treasure.
Risque, for sure, what I suggested -
I’d not thought to loose altogether;
Indeed, I thought to know your heart -
I’ll still treasure the memory forever.

Open Heart
by Beth Layne Poetry on Jun.04, 2009, under spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Lost in the enchantment of every day -
Knowing something special will be there;
I could not wait for the morning sun -
Now, it seems, the light I cannot bear.
I pour my heart and give without thought -
While others keep theirs caged and guarded;
Why does that scare another being so?
A shame, it seems, to be tender hearted.
An open heart full of love and acceptance -
Games of mind, within me, are not found;
Why should the negative be the norm -
And so many people keep their hearts bound?
The way to the light is within us all -
Deep within our hearts, lives the Spirit;
Love has no fears, and knows them not -
We only have to listen to hear it.

A Piece of God
by Beth Layne Poetry on Jun.04, 2009, under spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Alas, my friend, the power of God -
Lies deep within you indeed;
Always more to expore and know -
Of Him, you are a tiny seed;
All are connected, as all are one -
We are strung with silver thread;
Released to experience our lives-
To create and grow as we are led.
How then, pretell, could you not be -
Worthy of all you can dream?
If you are but a piece of God -
Then, how else should it seem?

Heaven
by Beth Layne Poetry on May.16, 2009, under love poem, love poetry, spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Escape with me to a world unknown
Where nothing matters except love and life;
Where children play without fear -
No more hardship, no more strife.
Where roses bloom throughout the winter
And grass nor trees ever die;
Where sunshine is a friend, not an enemy -
And no one is ever sad to cry.
A place where no evil egos exist
So there is never a person who is mean;
There, all the world is a splendid place -
And ugly faces are never seen.
I close my eyes and see this place
With castles cascading from the air;
Where money nor gold is a requirement -
And in all the land, nothing is unfair.
A land where people are not afraid to love
And hearts are given without fear;
Where laughter and happiness fill every day -
We’ll live for each moment year after year.
Beth Layne 1996
Mountain Bliss
by Beth Layne Poetry on May.16, 2009, under nature poem
Pillowy softness, endless still
Among the skies so high;
Blue smoke among the heavens,
Though never of nature shy.
Mountains of forest lusture
Where rivers flow through;
Wildlife in ever abundance;
Every day is fresh and new.
Rain to cool the days,
Beautiful colors of fall;
Snow capped beauty by winter;
Summer is best of all!
Shaded by southern trees,
In a land full of clean air;
Our haven in the hills;
Our peace within our prayer.

Visions
by Beth Layne Poetry on May.14, 2009, under ghost poem, ghost poetry, psychic poem, psychic poetry
In the pyramids of my tired mind,
I see the stretch that you bore;
Such innocence lost so young,
Life for you, exists no more.
What once was a vibrant light,
Has ceased now in this realm;
All for the growth and love,
Of all those you were around.
Tonight I see it all so clearly,
And now I carry your message;
Peace be brought unto you,
Blessed be your soul’s passage.
