Poetry to Inspire You
Enjoying the Tapestry
the weaving
the artistry
the interlocking pieces
the colourful tones
the textures
the knot and loops and creases
the story told
the mastery
with love and wisdom expressed
to see within
to imagine more
of what the tapestry has addressed

A Bag of Diamonds
a bag of diamonds was left on the step
a gift that was given to pay off a debt
what could it have been – a debt that was owed?
nothing remembered – perhaps long ago?
the diamonds were rough
they looked just like stones
yet the value concealed
could pay off our loans
for practical purposes, where to begin?
save them for the future or debt-free begin?
begin a new way to live, to live without debt
free from the stresses and worries we’ve kept
feeling into that prospect, it is easy to know
the diamonds were gifted so we would soon know
that to live without debt, to be in the flow
to love what we have, is the best way to go

Mansion
the mansion on the hill
we have always had it in view
but to actually live there
is open to just a few
representative of achievement
there’s always a hill to climb
and how one chooses their path there
may be direct or by taking one’s time
an invitation to own it
is extended by the mansion herself
she offers a residence of opportunity
and a space to learn about wealth
for some the mansion may be that
a symbol of those with material wealth
but for this invitation extended
it’s about caring, sharing and health
the mansion’s a metaphor for a world view
it shows a way for humanity to live
by sharing our abundance with others
what of value do we have to give?
she offers a place to fill one’s coffers
filling her up with possessions galore
or she offers a place to discover
what many have found before
a home is a place of shelter
of beauty and comfort and warmth
and the central heating comes always
from the love in the hearts that is formth
love formed and warmed by her owners
the ones with the distant view
who appreciate the land and the mansion
and the opportunity for what they can do
a place to enhance the beauty
to welcome their family and friends
a harbour to shelter others
when they’re seeking a place to mend
and the mansion loves to gather
others with hearts so keen
to share their visions of a planet’s future
peaceful and balanced blue/green
the mansion’s favourite memories
will attract what is to be
the laughter of children playing
a garden that’s grown from seed
neighbours helping each other
animals a part of the team
wise ones teaching the seekers
quiet and peaceful scenes
graceful aging with opportunities for fitness
both for mansion and inhabitants too
an atmosphere that is stress free
a cooperative, harmonious mood
a blending of indoors and outdoors
healthy meals that are sourced from the land
water that’s enjoyed to swim in
projects that are excitedly planned
the mansion is beckoning others
and she will give the key
to the perfect inner companions
for how she wants to be
