Poetry to Inspire You
The Potting Shed
The pots were prepared
Sweet soils were mixed
The garden was turned
The tools were all fixed
The new sun has risen
Planting season is here
The garden is beckoning
It’s a new kind of year
What seeds will we plant?
What vision do we hold?
Together we’re creating
a future that’s untold

The Pivot Point
The pivot point
is critical to
the balancing act
of the New
In the past
some would steal
to fill basic needs
such as a meal
And the tales of Robin Hood
every version showed he stood
to take from those wealthy
who hoarded their wealth
and give to the needy
sharing the more, gifting health
The New is here
The die have been cast
We have but this chance
to balance and last
And this will not happen
if one must steal to survive
Take a good look
It is simple to revive
To revive a way of living
To balance and sustain
To live here in harmony
in the Way that all can gain
So simple, so simple
The Way of the New
It’s as ancient as any plan
for balance can do
The answer is gifting
gifting all that we can
Gifting our abundance
must be our new plan
What do we need?
What do we use?
What part of our abundance
can be gifted to infuse?
Infuse what is needed
so others can live
Providing simple necessities
which many can give
If we look at our families
and our communities here
where is the pivot point
to bring balance near?
If we share what we have
and receive love in return
we create a new balance
and will cherish what we learn

Caricature
Caricatures are often used
to expose our unique strong features
Character etched on our faces show
life experiences are oft our teachers
The physical form can often mask
the true character held within
For a caricature of the soul you are
where would an artist begin?
What is your soul’s purpose?
What have you done?
What is the journey
that you have begun?
An artist may be inspired
by why you are here
But it is your unique qualities
that he/she will hold dear
The kindness, the strength
your artist will explore
The patience, determination,
the courage and more
And as he/she uncovers
the character within
the most beautiful etching
she/he’s sure to begin
Focusing on your strong points
the unique combo you are
Painting colours from within you
radiating out like a star
Your colours are your mastery
They are blended with love
Has this artist who has captured you
had a glimpse of you from above?
Your desire, your willingness,
your heart-centred drive
qualities working together
as in a bee hive
This artist who captures you
can see within your wealth
These qualities are treasures
Recognize them yourself
Sometimes a work of art
is recognized much later
Do you realize???
The artist who has painted you
is the Creator
