meditation – Poetry for Change

4th and 6th place for my poems, and Quietude

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

6th place:

Quietude

There are times when silence,
Silence is a symphony of brilliance
As you listen to your inner voice,
Voice as it expresses its wisdom in a force,
Force, that’s unrestrained in its presence,
Presence of dynamic coalescence.

Let your voice reach those,
Those whose listening ears,
Ears are prepared for change,
Change that empowers your hidden,
Hidden voice, meditation, whose opinion,
Opinion is louder than an explosion.

Explosion of colored hope,
Hope that tomorrow’s bloom,
Bloom will loom after summer,
Summer’s rainbow of flaura pepper,
Pepper the sidewalk, parks, fields,
Fields of harvests that can only feeds.

Certificate of Participation for my poem, Karma

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work.

Karma

All man-made laws have loopholes
That help people become fools

For not striding the narrow path
That emblazons morality in a breath

Radiating Karmic laws of wisdom:
Actions demand reactions, while calm

Patience are rewards in themselves,
As well as reducing regret that halves

Your wasted time on your perception
Of a past long gone, when the now’s convention

For living with all that’s happened before,
But focusing on your motivation to perform

Better today and tomorrow, for noone knows
What the future holds except what we make of it that blows.

Blows away our expectations
Into the stratosphere of humble imaginations.

As we take the pose to meditate
Theses thoughts flutter on the overflowing plate

Of responsibilities, endless, sapping
Energies that need rejuvenating

As quiet solitude is a necessary boon
That settles the soul from its frantic cocoon.
