Voyage

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Mist, like a veil
Sprays over the bow
As the ship surges forward
Into the sea it ploughs

The Sailors seek guidance
In the darkness of the night
As the Moon hangs in the sky
A great ball of light

Guiding their ship
Past any danger that lurks
On this important voyage
Through Nature’s network

The crests of the waves
Sparkle and shimmer
Against the canvas of the ocean
That barely raises a glimmer

Onward they travel
Toward their destination
Full of confidence
With great anticipation!

Create!

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Create a world
That is your own
A place with feeling
Where one can go

In one’s mind
In one’s Heart
A place to escape to
A place to create Art

That place exists
Within your mind
It is a place
Where you can unwind

Unwind enough
For you to create
That statement that
You want to make

Create and be free
In all that you do
Create that Art
That makes you, you!

Eye Of The Storm

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

The ship approaches
The eye of the storm
Captain spins the wheel
Sharply to port

The wind is howling
Ripping over the ship
As the Captain and crew
Try to give the storm the slip

Waves are getting higher
The sea salt so strong
As the ship continues to
Disappear into the throng

Belted and buffeted
The ship sails on
Prizing itself
From the battle, just won

The waters are calm now
Minds are at rest
As the ship won the battle
Of Mother Nature’s fine test!

Raise The Bar

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Review your goals
Raise the bar
Look to the future
You’ll see from afar

Roll up those sleeves
Dig right in
Look at that dream
And start to begin

In no time at all
You’ll be on the road
Moving forward
Instead of being towed

That mental check-up
You gave to yourself
Was the key
To your self-help

Reward yourself
Along the way
The journey of growth
Is your payday!

Sit And Listen

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

Sit and listen
What do you hear?

I hear the sound
Of a New Year!

A New Year that brings
Promise, excitement and cheer

Opportunities abound
To all those who are near

It’s time to let go
Of all those fears

Work hard for your goals
Be sincere

Achieve your dreams
Make it your year!

Jewels Of The Street

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Poetry

The rush of the wind
The falling of snow
Street lamps flicker
Causing the night to glow

The shops are like jewels
Along the streets
Like ships in a harbour
An organised fleet

Silently they stand
In the still of the night
Waiting for morning
For people to take flight

Queuing they will
For the lowest of prices
Ready to snap up
Those wonderful appliances

Through the hustle and bustle
Of that long-sales-day-grind
The staff will try to be
Both patient and kind

And when it’s time to close
The sales day is done
People return to their homes
And look over what they’ve won

The street returns to silence
The night begins to fall
The shop goes to sleep
Until the next sales day calls.
