thankfulness2

A Thankful Heart is Open to Blessings
because it is closed to worry, doubt, and wailing.

A Thankful Heart is Filled with Love
because it empties itself of loathing, greed, and envy.

A Thankful Heart is Overflowing with Peace
because it does not Share itself with lies, distrust, and negativity.

A Thankful Heart Touches Others with its Blessings and Love
because it is Ever in the Presence of Love and Blessing.

A Thankful Heart Speaks in Kindness, Patience and Empowerment
because it does not Speak of hate, intolerance or to incapacitate.

A Thankful Heart Chooses its Path Each Day with Diligence and Joy
because it does not Concentrate on what it cannot do.

A Thankful Heart Walks in Hope, Love, Peace and Joy
because it Knows nothing else.

A Thankful Heart Shares its Purpose
because it is Incapable of Withholding All that Pours from its Abundant Profusion.

Embark upon Each New Day with a Thankful Heart
and You will Find Endless Blessings for which to be Thankful.

~Morgan~

The Seasons of Life – #Inspirational #Musings

Fall Walk

As the seasons of Life shift and blur, our Journey ever changes; yet the path remains the same and Leads us ever in the right Direction, should we Choose to Follow.

Over the past year, Life has led me in more than a few new and, often, frightening directions. The Path has often seemed obscured, littered with debris that grasps and reaches to ensnare me or cause me to stumble. There have been more than a few moments when I stopped and gazed round in confusion, uncertain of the way in which I should go and fearful of what lies ahead; and once or twice I doubled back, attempting to find the trail once again. Yet, in spite of the twists and turns; regardless of the brambles and scrubby undergrowth crowding the track, and notwithstanding the shadows of doubt that clouded the way like thick, enshrouding fog, my feet continued forward.

Walking through the woodlands of life is ever challenging; yet is often equally rewarding. The views and vistas are picturesque and charming; the breeze is sweet, fresh and clean and the lighting is sublime. Avenues meander through coppices streaming with ribbons of sunlight; streams burble and play over sleek, moss-covered stones; and life teems all about you. You may not always be certain of the direction in which you should travel, but the way is intriguing and beautiful, in spite of it all.

The paved way that leads straight through the center of town may, indeed, be easier to traverse. It may be direct; it may be well lighted; it may seem a “no-brainer”, but without obstacles, trials and challenges, there is very little opportunity to test our strength or increase our endurance. The leaf-litter upon the rocky path may seem a dangerous pitfall, but if we walk along a perfectly manicured lawn, how will we ever learn to keep our feet under us? Life is, after all, about the journey, not the destination; it’s about becoming stronger and more confident through the tests we encounter along the way; it’s about discovering our way and ourselves along that way.

So, as the Seasons of Life shift and blur, and my Journey ever changes; the path remains the same and Leads me ever in the right Direction, should I Choose to Follow.

Thank You, my Friends, for walking along this path with me; for Sharing the Journey and waiting on me when I fall behind. You are, indeed, a Treasure; You are the unexpected Briar Rose Blossoming Sweetly among the scraggly undergrowth and YOU are the reason I linger, Smiling, as verses and lyrics Spring Anew.

~Blessings ~

~Morgan~

Walk in Purpose

Walk with Me at the Break of Dawn,
Awaken to My Love, My Caring;
Quietly Pause before Monotony,
For this Splendor of Simple Sharing.

All your cares, Entreat to Me
And Accept this Peace, Unending;
Then Walk in Purpose, Where I Lead,
Your Gifts in Tribute Spending.

For as the Day Increases, Dour,
Tumult and calamity Breeding;
With your Talents, Bravely journey,
Each Life you Touch with My Love, Seeding.

~Morgan~

Passing Fair – ABC Poem – #FormPoetry

Posted by Morgan in Poetry

ABC Poem, BnV, BooknVolume, Gabriel, Light, Poem, poetry, Purpose, Sigh, Silence, Temptation, time, Tranquility, Universe, ~Morgan~

Passing Fair

Absolute Silence,
Breathless Sigh,
Chaos Soaring
Deep Inside,
Echoes of a
Fracture in Time,
Gabriel’s Horn
Heralding Fine,
Indigo Setting in
Jagged Night,
Kisses Telling More than the
Light,
Message Drifting in
Neptune’s Hand,
OH the Tranquility of a
Purposeless Plan,
Questing,
Resting,
Shadows Drifting,
Timeless Device of the
Universe, Shifting,
Vast and Empty,
Waiting Delay,
Xanadu Tempting
Yesterday,
Zero hour Passing Fair,
All
Betrayed in Your
Calamitous Stare.

(sorry, ran over a bit, first go, but I know you will Humour me 😉 )

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, I dreamed of writing. Writing for whoever might hear, whoever might care, or, for myself and the sheer enjoyment, nay, the absolute bliss of filling a page with words spilling from my mind like a torrent. Continue reading →

in-the-stillness-of-night-holly-kempe

Sing to my Heart with Your Love,
Ever so Fine,
in Spiritual Rhyme,
Lifting me from my habitual Treason
Of uncertainty and perpetual reason,
Where I founder myself on the rocky shore,
Ever questioning Purpose,
Deliberately seeking for more.
When, rather, my Spirit longs to Be Still
In the Peace of Your Virtue,
In the Tempestuous Thrill
Of Closing my eyes to the rush of the day;
To be Calm,
To be Quiet,
And Unhurriedly Pray.

~Morgan~

Shadows Dissipate

Shadows dissipate

Life evolves round Changes
Ever Shifting,
Like calamitous fog in the Bright Morning
Lifting,
Singing Sweetly
Or Bellowing Fierce,
Like emotion pummeling through
The Soul to Pierce,
Yet as the Whispers of New Days
Rise,
Shadows dissipate like
Ebon Sighs;
Then Purpose and Clarity Shine,
Brilliant and True,
Shimmering,
Waiting,
For me
And for You.
