Stoney's Wee Wisdom Poetry

WEARY EYES

Darkness is falling
Upon my tired eyes...
What then shall I see
If there is no light remaining...
I shall relax and reflect
On the beauties of my active mind...
Memories will be my vision
I fear not what I can't see
But rather on some of
What I have seen...
I will listen closely
To the sounds around me
For they will be the echos
That I harness as my guide...
Oh, do not sadden at my words
I am but one of many that have
Entered this realm...
Be happy for me, for I will no longer
Have to feel the pain and fatigue
Within my eyes
I will see with my heart,
And with my soul
Be not afraid for me,
I will see you standing before me
When we all return home...

I wrote this many years back when I was still under the impression that I would be blind by 50. I have since been told differently...

MY BEAUTIFUL SUNSET

Walking along the shores
Alone and deep in thought
I realized then that I was far
From where I wanted to be...
The longer I walked
Through the calm gentle waves
That washed ashore
I could feel myself
Still no closer to my destination...
I stopped and looked out to sea
And discovered then that I would
Never reach my sunset
I will be chasing this sunset
Till the end of time...
I could feel the tears
Begin to roll down my cheeks
For I knew that in this conscious realization
I had now surrendered
The innocence of my eternal dream...
You will always be my sunset
I will always follow you
And as each day passes
And the glow of your light fades
Into the dark of night
Know that tomorrow is yet another day
And I am walking the shores of life
Forever chasing my beautiful sunset...

MYSTICAL MIND

Tragic transitional gestures
Of the radical mind
Are never to be one
With the inner beauty
Of the wretched warrior

So then why does the star
Fall to the ground in silence
Not for the attention
As much as for the unforsaken desire
To feel that moment of sadness
As the onlookers gasp with disbelief

You think this is me
In a display of overpowering judgment
Relax for now
Wee one of this enormous existence
I am not here to manipulate
I am here to seek the hidden truths
Of silent passions from your tethered mind

Stand before the mystical powers
Of the universe
And relate to me through thought
The one thing that your heart desires
I can hear your inner voice
As it cries out for attention

Come forth with me
And walk along the mountain's edge
As we discuss peace and harmony
Throughout our mortal lives

HOME AT LAST

A lonely ghost I once existed in this house of self
You entered into my dwelling of pain and sorrow
Walking through these hallowed halls
You managed to revive the essence of love within me

Tidy and neat lose ends are beginning to strengthen
Memories of the past are stored away
Allowing only for the new to be showcased
Sadness so tenderly has been swept out
To offer a pristine foundation of loving support

Windows and mirrors wiped clean of hurt
Shining light and reflection of the love we share
The empty shelves dusted clean of loneliness
To display new masterpieces of love for each other

This shell of a heart is filling again
With the beauty of you and I
Comfort yourself deep inside me
You are finally home

This was written many many years ago... but it's still one of my faves.

PASSION OF MY ART

Standing in the center of a room
Alone in a world I choose to call my own
Taking in a deep breath as I feel my surroundings
Fading into the still of the corners of my mind...

I begin moving from one direction to another
From one position to the next
My hands and feet in perfect harmony
With my breath as I inhale and exhale...

Imagining the essence of my enemies
Crumbling and falling before me with each
Strike and kick that I execute...

My hear begins to race as the excitement level rises
Now becoming aware of the intense expressions
That I portray upon my face...

Sounds begin to fill my ears as I hear
Imaginary opponents discharge their breath
Beneath the weight of my attack...

I release my own yells on every finishing move
From deep within my indomitable inner strength
To wake the silence of an otherwise quiet room...

Finally in the completion of this passionate performance
Drenched with sweat and totally exhausted
I now find myself once again in the center of the room
Completely satisfied with what I have achieved...

For me this is yet another victory another defeat
Another advancement in the challenge of my dream
As I continue to strive for perfection and mastery
In a love that can never be perfected or mastered...

I am content and pleased with my performance
Fot what I have displayed is not what some call
A form or kata but what I like to think of as being
My art my love my poetry in motion...

GENEROUS GIFT

It is said that when two souls meet,
The beat of their hearts fill the ears
Of the angels above...
The rhythm of their love echos
Through the heavens...
And the laughter shared is felt throughout
Our entire universe...
Give of yourself to all you encounter
For today is the day we realize
That we are all one...
And in being one
When you give to others
You give to yourself
Give generously, you deserve it...

SIMPLY BECAUSE

Times within one's life
A soul eases into the light
And aids in the healing
Of a saddened spirit...
That soul is stilled, yet playful
Compassionate, yet light-hearted
Quiet, yet well versed
And in the vast of it all...
Simply there...

Meeting a soul such as this
Is an honor and a blessing
For with their presences comes
Wisdom, respect, and support...
A soul of this caliber
Glows through the light
Guides through the darkness
And never leaves one behind...
Simply said...

Thank you for listening
Thank you for caring
And thank you for your guidance...
Not that our work is done
Nor that our paths lead elsewhere
But more that a "thank you" is in order...
Simply because...
