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.

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.

Reality
by Beth Layne Poetry on May.05, 2009, under Uncategorized, spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Walking on the edge of reality -
Knowing reality really is not;
It is only what you can conceive -
So, on the edge, I’m really not!
What is brought to your life -
Comes only from within;
Trials you bring to yourself;
Challenging yourself to win.
What you can mentally imagine -
Can be brought to reality;
No matter what that may be -
To create your own normality.
What, then, will you create -
Once you finally do see?
Life is all about creating -
So simple, it’s meant to be.

Overwhelmed
by Beth Layne Poetry on May.05, 2009, under spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Emotions flow like a river through my soul -
Striking, swishing, and whirling around;
My breath is deep and I am one with the flow -
Enbracing the purpose for which I am bound.
I see; I feel; I hear all their words -
Rumbling like a volcano through my veins;
Carried by the brilliant light of love -
In the end, love is always what remains.
I soar through the journey like an eagle -
Seeing through life with my mind’s eye;
Receiving all they choose to give -
Not always knowing the reason or why.
Spinning in place but never moving -
A vessel through which to flow through;
All of the light I can breathe in and out -
Grateful for all through me they do.

Fallen Angel
by Beth Layne Poetry on May.05, 2009, under spiritual poem, spiritual poetry
Dry your veins from evil things -
Your soul you cannot destroy;
Tis yours indeed, you will see -
It has all been but a ploy.
A challenge, it is, your life -
An ambitious soul, you are;
Rise up and walk back to light -
You have simply wandered too far.
Your mission, before you, lies -
In wait for your humble retrieval;
From the land of hell, now rise -
Not for you, this place of evil!
Take my hand, and we will walk -
Back where you heart awaits;
Many are left, yet to be saved -
Will you leave them to their fates?
Release the fear, my fallen dear -
Your victory is so very near;
The star I light for you tonight -
Things are not as they appear.
