Sunrise-Relaxation-Enya


WHAT WARMS MY WAY?


The breath of God ,
when He's next to me

The smile of a child ,
who looks to me

The humanity of the world ,
To love each one

The sun when it shines ,
When I awake to see

The beauty of nature ,
When I see all the flowers

The day I was born ,
When God gave me an hour

The heart that I loved ,
When I found I was feeling

The tears that fell ,
When love was hurting

The hope that comes ,
When darkness falls

The times I learned ,
When life taught me

The sense I feel ,
When I pray to God

The hour that I spent,
When I was looking for God.

Dedicated to Quyen

Poeatreeman

If I shared a tear ,
touched a heart

Life will have
been painful

But oh ! ,
What cares will I have

I've shared a child’s smile,
God smiled on me

I found the world's tears
they came to be part of me.

A RAY OF HOPE; A TEST OF FAITH, I PRAY YOU HAVE TODAYS GRACE



HOPE IS A CANDLE,
STILL YET LIT.

FAITH IS THE CANDLE,
THAT HOPE CAN EXIST.

LOVE IS THE FLAME

THAT GOD

BELIEF IS THE LIGHT

THAT KEEPS

WE HAVE LIMITS

I WOULD HOPE

YOU KNOW THE GOAL.

KEEP US BALANCE

THAN THE CEILING

WON'T HIT THE SKY.

EVEN A WISH WOULD COST YOU MORE.
I THREW IN A PENNY, WISHED IT WAS MORE.

THE LONG BACK TRAIN | POEATREEMAN on Xanga

THE LONG BACK TRAIN



A SHOT IN THE DARK


Fate is no Stranger
For I am its Course.

The differences between
Destiny and Fate .


Is a matter of Choice


If I turn the bend
Will it lead me

To the End?.


If I take the Curve

Too Fast

Will I turn at the End?.


If I am at

The Crossroad

What Track

Am I on?.


No choo choo train here

Nor whistles

Blowing

To tell me
What's Ahead.


Only Light and Dark
That I must Tread.


No Stop Sign

To Watch..


Except

What I have done.


No signal to alert.

If Conscience
Is not on track.


No light ahead
If I am in the Dark.

No Conductor
If I am its Charge.

A Poeatreeman

There are two Roads,
One Course

There are two Ends,
one Right

There are two Choices,
One Left

There are two Fates,
One Heaven

There are two Doors,
One Open

There is one Time,
When I was Born

One God,
To Open the Door

One to
Close it all Behind.

THE BRIDGE OF BEYOND?


I am in the middle of nowhere
Yet somewhere I see.

I am at the edge of Eternity
Yet I see Today.

I am at the start of here
Yet Tomorrow will pass my way.

I am at the crossroads of Yesterday
Yet finding where I've been.

I am between here and Eternity
Yet traveling where?

I am at the Bridge of Beyond
Yet one step to take me across.

I am at the end of time
Yet passing time
Beyond all measures.

I am here where I began.

A THOUGHT!

I am here when
I know where is
I am there
When I know what is

Dedicated To Angie

A Poeatreeman

No time to pass,
when left with self
No hands to move,
When time has stopped
No time unless,
I push ahead
No clock to move,
I'm faced with self
One Time to set,
Before it's gone
One hour ahead,
It's not too long
No time to wind,
Just pass Today
No time Tomorrow
I am here Today
Beyond Tomorrow,
I'll find no way.

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS


LOVE KNOWS


Love knows when to share a heart

Giving friendship a chance to start

Making no demands on love

A relationship must be understood

No matter how we see our love

Love knows when to open a heart

In finding a love for two

It gave a love to you

If there's one or two

It does not matter

For love was shared with you.

Love knows when

When you give your heart

Not asking more than what is there

In sharing all you can

Excepting all the hurts and cares

Loving what is there.

Dedicated to Jerry and John

LOVE'S FLOWERS


Love flowers,
in all things

A child's smile ,
a talk with them

In people
who give love,
a chance

Love flowers,
each time we give

In listening to all,
God's creatures

Sharing what we are

Love flowers,
with our hearts

In feelings,
we have come to love

Pain, we find hard to bear

Love flowers through all,
God's time

In helping to understand

The burdens we all bear

Giving of ourselves

For we're not
afraid to care.

A Poeatreeman

Love flowers ,
Each time
we walk with Him.

THE HUMAN TOUCH


The Human touch,
two souls to share


The Human flesh,
no hearts will give


The human being,
two loves can be


The Human feelings,
what no one sees


The Human kind,
what will they be?


The Human soul,
what will it see?


The Human pain,
what tragedies will bear?


The Human bond,
what strengths will be?


The Human spirit,
what heights will climb?


The Human heart,
what will it give?


The Human love,
what God gave me


The Human touch,
when love is shared..

LIFE


Life is an obstacle
must be overcome

The greatest

Are the ones we place
before ourselves

Life challenges our will

The greatest score is
the will to live

Through all the pitfalls
life can bring

It's not the win

The game that's played

For in the end
you'll see you've scored.

The win was not your best

The failures
who made you try even more.

A Poeatreeman

If I never knew Failure
I would never have
met Success
Why do you think
I Try?
To Learn
from the Best
Both have Success
It is my Choices
That Try the Best.

HOW WILL I KNOW


I want to Love you,
as Love knows how
.

How do I Love you,
not lose Heart?


How do I know,
what Love to give
.

Knowing,
it's what you want?


How do I know
what Love there is


Knowing
what path is right for us?


How do I know
when I am afraid to see


Knowing
I won't be hurt by you?


How do I know
what to give or take


Knowing
I am not hurting Love?


How do I Love you
and fulfill your Heart


Knowing
I am a dream come true?


How do I know
what Love has grown


Knowing
it's what we started from?


How do I know
you're there with me


Knowing
we both feel the same?


How do I know
I am yours to Love


Knowing
I am one with you?


How do I know
when Love will show


Each day it's there
shared by you


Beyond Eternity,
To the, first day.


A Poeatreeman

Whatever Love grows,
you have not, lost Heart.

it may be the treasure,
you found, you Loved.

DON'T QUIT; WHEN FAILURE REACHES :* YOUR DOOR STEP,* PUSH AHEAD AND TRY. | POEATREEMAN on Xanga







DON'T QUIT; WHEN FAILURE REACHES :* YOUR DOOR STEP,* PUSH AHEAD AND TRY.


SUCCESS & FAILURE

THE ONLY WALK YOU WALK

IS THE STEPS YOU TAKE

EVEN FAILURE HAS A STEP

TRY NOT TO FOLLOW IT

IN YOUR QUEST.

SUCCESS WILL TAKE MANY STEPS

KNOW FAILURE

AND YOU WILL FIND SUCCESS

TRY IS ONE GREAT STEP.

FAILURE IS ONE SMALL STEP

IT TAKES YOU TO NOWHERE

WHERE YOU

WILL FIND YOUR QUEST.

FAILURE

IS THE OPPORTUNITY.


SUCCESS

IS THE GOAL.


TRY

IS THE STEP

TO REACH

FOR THE GOAL.



BOTH

WILL MOUNT

A TEST

OF YOUR SOUL.


WHICH


WILL CLIMB

THE HIGHEST GOAL ?



TRIUMPH AND DISASTER

WILL BOTH

SHARE THE ROAD.


TRY

IS THE EQUALIZER

SO LET IT

NOT REST.


IT WILL TAKE

FAILURE AND WINNING

TO SEE THE BEST.

TRY IF I WILL


One step that came forward
Knowing all in its quest.

One step to the Mountain
Try and do your best.

Failure is no steps taken.

Success is many more.

So why not Try and give it all

I tripped over Failure
it brought me Success.

I climbed the Mountain
it brought me many quests.

Failure is the orphan
For no one wants to hold it long.

I must know Him
If Success is going to come along.

A THOUGHT!

I have two friends in life,
Success and Failure.

I hope to see
Success even more.

Two friends
I cannot part away.

They are beside me
all the way.

One's behind,
the others ahead.

Rarely
will they rest at all.

They see me through
the best and worse.

Even Failure will have a Try.

Success will come
when I help Failure Try..

Dedicated to Hillary Rodham Clinton

A Poeatreeman

Failure does not fail
unless you do not Try.

Success
will help you carry Failure.

When He is lagging behind.

Never
lose sight of both your friends.

For surely you will have
lost your way.

Each is only a step away.

Will's a funny guy.

He has Failure and Success as friends.

Can He hold on till the end

Not if He does not Try

Will! is only what you make him.

A POET'S NOTE


If you step up there are no Failures.

Win or lose,
Try is one great step.

Now I have to climb over.

Day and night
will help me view it.

Will!

will help my friends get through it.

7TH SEAL; ONE CHANCE TO FIND THE WAY, ONE CHANCE TO GO GOD'S WAY



WHEN DID?


When did death
come to my door?

The moment I was born

When did God arrive?

When I asked Him inside

When did I feel a tear?

When feelings lost a tear

When did sorrow start?

When I left God's heart

When did faith take hold?

When I found God's truth

When did happiness laugh?

When I felt hope at last

When did smile break?

When I knew I was loved

When did life come?

When God gave his son

When did salvation come?

When God gave his love

When did Heaven open up?

When I took the right way

When Did Hell take me away?

When I threw it all away..

A Poeatreeman

When did pain cut through?
When care was without heart
When did you do anything right?
When I gave my life to God.

DIRECTION


When !
Each time I take a breath

Now !
When I should do what is best

Present !
The only time I can

Late !
I may not be at the pearly gates

Hell !
I finally made it here

Now !
It's late look where I am going

When !
Is now when I should have changed

Travel not !
On tomorrow's directions

Today is !
The only right of way

Take your life ! go God's way..

A Poeatreeman

Travel only in the right direction
No compass to point the way
Only Will! to choose the course
Only wrong you'll find your loss.


Dedicated to Melissa

From A Play of Words
DIRECTION

There is only one wrong thing
Not to do it right
There are many small paths
Waiting  for the test
There are many choices
How will I choose
What is left?
There is Conscience!
To tell me what is best.

A MARKER ON LIFE


Let it not be
JUST THE MARKER they write


Let the words speak of life

Let the mark not be a scar

Let the end not come with strife

Let the foundation be as strong

Let the strength hold its might

Let the words weather the storm

Let this not speak of death

Let it mark my place with life

Let it say I am with God

Let it read, "I tried my best"

Let it show my faith in God.

A Poeatreeman

What foundation I lay

Will be the corner stone of my life

Held because strength holds it

Crumble because weakness expose it.

It's Spaced Apart, 
Where Left is Left
Right is Right,

AUTHOR'S NOTE FOR BOOK OF LIFE


The end is left to me
A Treasured note
A word of hope

Written
As time goes by.


Have you written
A good chapter

wished it was a line?

Have you read
A good chapter

Or played with the lines?


The chapter on Truth
Cannot be changed

The chapter on right
Is what is left in time.

My chapters ended,
For I did not begin
I did not turn,
To see what was ahead.

The story of my life
I chose to read one page
Avoided all the rest.

The End
Was only the Beginning
There are many Pages left.

Inspired Inspirational Quotes | POEATREEMAN on Xanga



THE BEST TIMES


If I did not
go through
what I did


I would
have never
found
who I am


The
best part
is the worst


For
I kept faith
with Him


The
hard times
prepared me


For
what
was ahead


The
good times


Were
when
I picked
myself up


I
had
to fall
to know
the best


The
sweet times ,


Were
not always
what
I needed


The
best times
were


All
The
struggles
I had
defeated.


A THOUGHT!

No time
is worse,
for where
would I be?


I am
here
for the count,
not one, two, three


I'll take
what is there,
Make
the best of it all


KNOWING THE BEST, IS YET TO BE..
MAKING EACH DAY BETTER
BEFORE THE END

DEDICATED TO LIFE

A Poeatreeman

I am the hopes
of my dreams


I am the strengths
of my weakness


I am the success
of my failures


I am the best
of my
worst times


I am no one
without God


I am the beliefs
of my faith


I am here
to climb
the mountain


The tools
are all with me


I have faith
God allowed it
to be.


A POET'S NOTE


God will pick you up
when you least expect


Have faith
through
the hardest test


It will not be failure
or success


It will be
your faith's test.

MY BEST AWARD


The best award

is when
God ,
Allowed me
to write


For my heart
was the vessel


That brought
me on through


The tears
were pouring


Not
always smooth


Without
I could
not move


Not
always
would I see
clearly


For
my vision
was obscured


I did not
always follow


The course
I should
have gone


Life
is not often
forgiving,


Nor
people
who look
down
at you


God
will forgive you


Those
who look down
at you..


A THOUGHT!

I may not
reach
man's
success


Though
I've
reached
beyond


My
award
is waiting,


I
will take it
to heart


I thank
God for
the hour


All the time
beyond..



DEDICATED TO GOD

A Poeatreeman

Who
wants
to be
at God's
right hand


One
hour

all is lost

way to find it
give it to all


One
heart to love
each and all.

NOT ALL


Not all were smiles,
not all was rain

Not all was everything,
not even the same

Not all was sunshine,
nor was it storms

Not even light,
could stay pass twilight

Darkness came,
light faded out

Time was one thing,
I could not stop

Hope was there,
not always bright

Faith was there,
to see the light

Love came,
showed me pain

Sorrow said,
I feel the same

Care came,
said all right

I'll show you love,
in a different light

Happiness
had its joy, in spurts

Laughter came,
covered up hurting

Feelings felt,
said I'll stay

Where am I,
if I leave today?

I'll have no companion,
to share the hurt

Nor love to find,
the treasures unearthed.

A Poeatreeman

Suffering is the loss of all
Cares to know what love's about
Heart will let you feel it all
Pain is there for care to see
Tears to let you wash the soul
Love to keep it all from dying
Sorrow if I lose it all.

Enya "The Memory Of The Trees" POEM THE SOUL OF EARTH | POEATREEMAN on Xanga








THE SOUL OF EARTH


Mother Earth
Pours Her Heart Out

To Feed The Land
Give it Birth

For All We See
Has Come To Grow

Flowers, Trees,
Grass, and Seeds

With All The Things
That Touch The Earth



To Grow Within
Her Womb
With All The Life
That Feeds
Upon Her Bosom

To Take From Her
Not Be Giving

For To Chop a Tree
Is To Tear Her Roots

If We Do Not
Replace it with a Tree

To Drill a Hole
Into The Earth

Is To Shoot an Arrow
Right Through
Her Heart

Spilling The Blood
Within Her

To Strip The Land
Is To Wound Her Soul

When We are Taking
Not Replacing

For if We Go On
Doing These Things

Tearing Her Roots,
Stripping Her Soul

Shooting Arrows
Into Her

She'll Erupt and Bellow
Her Mightiest Force

Gushing Forth Her Blood
Like a Mighty Volcano

To Spill Her Fury
Upon The Earth.

A Poeatreeman

The Tree of Life
Comes Only Once
Keep its Branches
Strong and Green
Then You Will Have
The Air To Breathe.


Dedicated To All The Beauty of Nature

A POET'T NOTE

I once was Here
When Life was Green
I once held Man
Until
He Turned Me Blue
Now we Both
Are Fading Away
NO Wish
Will bring Me back
This Way.

If The $Dollar Becomes Mightier

Than The Trees

Will We Still Be Able To Breathe?

There Will Be Two Things Falling

Man And The Trees

I Hope It Will Be Just The Leaves

I Choked On $Dollars

For There Was Nothing To Breathe

Let Me Not Make $Dollars

From The Trees

Rather Clean Air I Can Breathe

Cut The $Dollars Not The Trees

Then The Economy

Will Have Room To Breathe

Then The Growth

Can Grow With The Trees

The Economy May Fall

So Will The Leaves.

THE FALLING LEAVES


The Autumn Breeze

Come Dance with me

Tumble through the Air

With the Falling Leaves

Come Spinning

Through the Trees


I Fell on Air

Floating Like a Feather

Twirling Everywhere

Come Dance with me

Spiraling Through the Air

Floating with The Leaves

On the Autumn Breeze

Descending to my Needs

I Fell to Earth and Rest

With the Autumn Breeze

I Felt my Final Breath.

POET’S NOTE

BEFORE WE,
REACH THE STARS

WE MUST
REACH THE HEART

FOR MAN
WILL NOT GO FAR

IF HE
DISTANCES HIMSELF

FROM HIS HEART.

A BRIDGE TOO FAR

IF UNDERSTANDING

HAS NO PART.

OUTER LIMITS


Inter Space

You can Travel afar

When you know

Where you are

Outer Space

Is only Distant

When you Travel

Beyond Yourself...

A BRIDGE ACROSS THE STARS


No Bridge
Will I Not Build
To Reach You

No Distance
Is Too Far.

No Mileage
Will Ever
Keep Me.

From Traveling
To The Stars.

No Record
Will I Not Break
To Find You.

No Luck,
Is Not My Charm.

No Time
Can Distance
Between Us.

Unless
I Choose To Lie.

No Bounds
Will Ever
Break Me.

Unless
The Span Is Flawed.

No Bridge
Will Not Be Built
Unless
I Will, It So.

No Friend
Will Ever
Come To Me
Until
I Build A Bridge.

No Distance
Can I Travel
Until
I Reach Their Heart.

No Time
Like Now
To Reach
Across The Stars.

DEDICATED TO NASA
& STAR TREK
FOR SPACE FLIGHT
& SPACE DAY TOO

A THOUGHT!

The Bridge I Built
Must Be
Built From Trust
If I Am Ever
To Go Across

A Poeatreeman

One Star is Only
A Thought Away.

One Friendship is Only
A Hand's Reach.

One Bridge
Will Let Us Speak.

Man and Heaven
Reaching Far.

One Try Away,
One Prayer to Say
God Speed Your Way.

HOW SMALL WE ARE

WHEN WE LOOKED TO THE HEAVENS

NOT MUCH BIGGER

THAN A GRAIN OF SAND

YET GOD HOLDS US IN HIS HAND

HIS CREATION HE MADE FOR MAN

A SPECIAL PLANET IN HIS PLANS.

THREE WOODEN CROSSES





A Golden Coffin

Will not bring me

To Heaven.


A Golden Heart

Will do this for me.


It took a Wooden Cross

For Jesus to be there.


A Wooden Coffin

Has room for me.


Enough for my Soul

To be carried there.


Blessed the ground

I entered in.


For it will be

My way to Him.

A SHADOW ON A HEART


I Lay There
Can't Come In
Not Knowing,
Who I Am,
Always Feeling,
Like A  Shadow .

I Am There 
Not A Stranger
A Friend
You Have not Come
To Know.

A Heart Felt One
Looking Within
To  Himself
A Stranger
In a Friend,
Not Far,
Near To Them..

Reaching,
Trying, To Get In.

Knowing
There's One Thing
You Must Find
Yourself
To Let Me In..

Care To Know
Who I Am
I Am What
I Have Always Been
The Shadow
On Your Heart..

For When You Come
To Know Me

I Will Have
Changed A Bit
I Will Not
Be Looking In
But Out To See
Now You Know
Who I Am..
Keep Me There
For All To See..
 
We Will Find
Love Has Grown.

For Life no Matter,
Lets us Not,
Lose Heart
For I Don't Want
To Be, A Stranger
In A Heart
I Found A Friend...

DEDICATED TO GOD
WELCOME HOME ATLANTIS

A Poeatreeman

Love's Best Friend Is Heart.

A PRAYER ON A WING


Let me
Ride above the Clouds.


Let me
Glide on the Breath of God.


Let me
Face the Morning Sun

To see
The Glory of your Son.


Let me
Feel your Hands
Beneath my Wings

Knowing
I am Held up High.


Let me
See your World as you

Let me
Smile at all you do.


Let me
Pray with you
Each Day

That I am Always
on your Wing.


Guide me
Through the Storms
That come,

Keep me
From Falling down.


Lift me
To the Highest
as I Soar with Thee.


Take me
Through this World
With you

Until my Wings
Turn into Doves.


And you are
Holding me with Love.

One Sword Feathered,
is a Blow for Humanity.
