Prose - Let The Meaning Within The Verse Touch Your Heart

Prose in verse has this way of saying things that mean something and somehow stick. We can recall thoughts in verse often more easily than within other written words. And the turn of phrase and rhyme can quickly open our hearts and let in their simple message in a meaningful way.

Poetry may not appear to be your thing, but just give it a little chance - and it may grow on you. Here you will find an easy going selection of pieces, but on themes related to other areas of the website.

Browse around and see what catches your eye - you may find that a verse catches your eye, or touches your heart, or means something to you. Then read on . . .

The power of words . . .

As we read we can let the words gently flow over us. We can let the words quietly be spoken to us in there own sweet way.

We can let ourselves open to the thoughts and their meanings, the ideas and their origin, the phrases and the understandings that they have ready for us. Ready for us to assimilate and take on board. If we let them filter through and allow the words their power to move and rejuvenate. If we let ourselves be uplifted and filled with their sometimes hidden insights. Too gently and slowly to impact on our lives as we read - and in the future when we recall their meaning for us.

I hope this prose 'n poetry corner will do this and more. I hope these prose and verse examples help to express life in an insightful, penetrating but easy to read manner. And help us to question the lives we lead and the manner in which we live them.

Just give this prose 'n poetry page a chance and see what gives. Enjoy a quiet moment or two . . .

Prose can teach us in so many ways if we can but wait
and read and digest in a manner easy to assimilate
lessons of life that can all come through
we can see life, ourselves, the world as if anew

Verse has this power to uplift and to inspire
if we just sit back and let ourselves acquire
new insights, experiences, new visions, new bits of life's joy
to open eyes, open hearts and above all life to enjoy.

We all like to read a good verse
and about life perhaps they can help us rehearse
what we need think or do in there own quiet way
and help support, encourage us each and every day.

Poetry about life is especially welcome
can lift our spirits and disperse any boredom
we may feel around us as we live out our days
our thoughts, deeds and actions we need to appraise

As we consider the life we each day lead
our talents, strengths and values we can concede
with our confidence, motivation, self image and self esteem
what a life, what support, what assistance, what a team!

Of gifts we all have in our self development bag
with self improvement and personal growth a trio all ample
and able to fulfill our lust to achieve
for each of us whatever we can conceive

By way of goals and dreams and targets all true
good vibes, contributions, helping others, who can argue
a little prose here and there can help us see our way through
uplifting life for us and jumping us to the head of our queue

So at the end of each day was we put our head to rest
we can look back at our day and see it one blessed
in so many things and ways and we can see how we reacted
for ourselves and others new heights and experiences founded

And shared and assisted others during our day
helping out, contributing each in our own way
to help each other see and benefit from a greater good
for one and all in this life as much as we reasonably could

Do for others as we come closer to our inner being
to find the life we have has no real ceiling
for within and around us and with our own eyes
we can see how inspiring verse can make us humble but wise.

I hope that had some meaning for you.
All best,
Martin
