O How I Wish! - A Poem & Guest Post by Dominic Windram
O how I wish I could create a poem
As significant as a prayer or hymn:
That would blossom like a beautiful, bold
Flower with a power drawn from within!
By blending noble thought and warm passion,
It would transcend the world's fleeting fashions.
More precious than countless, verbose pages;
O it would echo throughout the ages!

Anyway - A Guest Post by Errol Clark Halkett
Anyway
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered
Love them anyway
If you do good, people will accuse you of ulterior motives
Do good anyway
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies
Succeed anyway
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow
Do good anyway
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable
Be honest and frank anyway
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs
Fight for some underdogs anyway
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
Build anyway
People really need help but may attack you if you help them
Help people anyway
Give the world the best you have and it’ll kick you in the teeth
Give the world your best anyway

Until Selfvation - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins
Until Selfvation
We suffer, need illusions
See clearly, be free
© 2019 M.N. Hopkins
Note: I took the liberty to create a new word, "Selfvation" which would be defined as going directly to our Soul for guidance and liberation. No need for outside teachers, gurus or advisors. Our own Soul which I believe to be the link between God and ourselves is the deliverer or liberator rather than some outside savior thus going directly to the Source and cutting out the middleman. I am not saying to not be inspired by the wisdom of Saints and Prophets but to use their words as they were intended to be used to inspire and motivate you to do the hard work of liberation and enlightenment that is your responsibility and that in reality, only you can do.
This poem was inspired, written and published for the first time in the haiku style of poetry on my blog today, the 27th of August 2019.

At The End Comes The Strength - A Poem & Guest Post by KiBLS
At the end comes the strength
The end is slowly approaching,
That's what a faithful scout told me.
Now it suddenly becomes obvious to me;
It is coming suspiciously close to me.
It is difficult for me to evade him,
Because it always requires more.
Thoughts have to grasp everything,
they can't leave time me to rest.
The heart becomes warm and heavy,
until it gasps; I can't anymore.
And yet you feel this strength,
which gives you a new courage.
You have to do this with all your will;
breast-feed your innermost from the inside.
Then you will see it;
Your spirit will never pass!

This Too Shall Pass - A Guest Post by Errol Clark Halkett
FOUR WORDS
A king called all of his wise men and counsellors together for a
meeting. He addressed them and said, "I want you to go and
think, read, and research. Consult the wisest and most learned
men in the land. Spare no expense."
"I want you to find the ONE statement that will get me through
all situations in life. Whether I am on top of the world or in
the pits, find that statement."
"I don't want to learn long and complicated philosophies.
I want one simple statement. Find it or write it; I don't care,
just bring me the statement."
The men left and consulted for months.
They finally returned and handed the King a scroll.
The King unrolled the scroll. On it was written four words.
"THIS TOO SHALL PASS"
That was it.
The wise men explained.
When you are on top of the world, that is but a fleeting
moment, things change, always remember, this too shall pass.
When you are in the pits, all nights are followed by day, at
your lowest moments remember also, this too shall pass.
All external circumstances and material things change.
No matter what your circumstances, remember,
THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
The wise men reminded the great King that this would get him
through his earthly things but the truly wise knew there were
things beyond this earth and life. . .
Things that were eternal.
True wisdom they reminded the King was in the ability to
recognize the fleeting temporal things of the material world
from the truly eternal things.
O Great King they said, "Most of the things that you worry or
gloat about are temporary and our four words apply."
For most of your situations. . .
THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

Death Has Nothing To Do With Going Away - The Wisdom Of Rumi
Jelaluddin Rumi, the 13th century mystic poet, was truly one of the most passionate and profound poets in history. Now, today his presence still remains strong, due in part to how his words seem to drip of the divine, and startle a profound remembrance that links all back to the Soul-Essence.
Born in what is present day Afghanistan in 1207, he produced his master work the Masnawi which consists of over 60,000 poems before he died in 1273. The best way to fully say in words his impact, is that he has the ability to describe the Indescribable, Ineffable-- God.

Note: In this poem the first line of it just popped into my head yesterday evening and the second and third lines I constructed to fit the first over 2 days. I usually pick one version and discard the rest. This time I decided to publish five different haiku poems with the same theme just slightly different wording. I will ask you to pick the poem you think is best. You can tell me which one in the comment section with a number, 1 to 5 if you would be so kind and are willing to do so. I published all five poems on my blog today for the first time on the 12th of August, 2019.

Tune Into The Earth - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins
Tune into the Earth
The Mother's love will fill you
Healing connection
© 2019 M.N. Hopkins
Note: I wrote and published this poem today in the haiku style of poetry. The inspiration was the picture above that I found on the net and had been thinking about how I could use it in a post on how our health and well being are connected to the Earth. This is the result which took the form of a poem which I published for the first time on my blog today, the 11th of August 2019 as a part of the annual event on my blog which I call, Inspirational August.
An Ancient Hawaiian Prayer
Ancestral spirits
From the sun's rising to the sun's setting
Blessings to this house
Blessing to this food
Blessings on the family gathering
Ancestral immortals
Bring forth from the spirit world the gifts of good health and abundance
And manifest these blessings
The prayer has flown
The restrictions are lifted.

There Will Be One Day - A Poem & Guest Post by Magnus Ericcson
can write and try to debate and
describe our true identity
But instead I say:
There will be one day that you will laugh,
with joy and love in your heart at the fact
that you actually one day did chose to
believe that you were not a part of God
A day when you thought that you consisted
of darkness, pain, misery and confusion.
And did forget that
You Are God. A loving God.
A vibration purely consisting of
divine love, joy and happiness
And your inner pain and misery
will stop that day you will understand,
or rather know that it is your
true identity.
And hopefully you will realize this
before you leave this planet
