Your Words Poem by Mike Barrett

Your Words

Rating: 4.8


Were I to hold you
In any degree of esteem, of respect,
Your words might hurt –
Twisting like daggers
Within one’s mind, one’s Soul.
But I don’t
So they can’t –
Water on a duck’s back
They are –
Water flowing back
To the Ocean of Love and Mercy,
A place where you too
One day in eternity
Shall bathe –
Immersed in the joy and love
Of the great IT IS.

IT is infinitely forgiving,
Infinitely loving.

IT’s blessings await you
But it’s up to you –
You must prepare.



In our eternal unfoldment
We neither command
Our moments of realization,
Nor IT’s blessings,
We earn them.

IT’s gifts are granted
Solely in accordance with
With IT’s will,
At the time of IT’s choosing.

Today, to you, these words may mean nothing –
But one day, in this life, or in another lifetime yet to be,
Their truth will, in a moment of grace, be realized.

May the blessings be!

Words often leaves an unconfronting realisation on our heart, mind and soul either good or bad. It is our stupidity amongst most of the people, we do not understand this enigma. So far about its lyrical write, beautiful composition and azure complex is concerned; somewhere it fills my heart with more ecstasy to read again and again. I invite you to read my poem Words. Thank you for sharing. Regards ever.

Hi Ramesh, I'm happy that this poem has touched your higher self.....it's important in life that Soul (one's higher self) understands that It is perceiver and interpreter of all external stimuli. The quicker Soul gets into the driver's seat of one's life, the more it can learn and continue growing Its eternal knowingness. Thanks for your comment and I shall review your poem Words within the next day or two. Cheers!
