Are you adrift?
|
Alone, adrift I do find |
myself to be from time to time |
Drifting aimlessly, you see |
Steeped in everyday responsibility ||
Raise your eyes, look far beyond |
to the future you are bound |
Set your sights to that goal |
Watch the magic journey unfold...
from PoesyArt by LL Gorman
|
Contemplate self-worth and purpose
|
Who are you, Who am I? |
our journeys we choose but know not why |
We try different roads searching for "I" |
with great conviction of do or die |
The inner journey is when we see |
the true destination for you and me...
From PoesyArt by LLGorman
|
Don't stick your head in the sand!!
|
Why do we surround our fragile personalities |
with a sea of chaos and human onerousities |
Only to deny we created this reality |
so not to face this truth of our humanity ||
Denial's a safe haven from our lack of ability |
to face the pain of changing this reality |
With desire and intent to quiet disharmonies |
comes growth and unlimited creative possibilities...

Art is the ultimate self expression
|
Art is the ultimate |
means of self expression |
Touching the soul |
and stirring emotions ||
Reaching beyond to |
an inner dimension |
Leaving a profound yet |
indelible impression...

A Direction in Life is a Must
|
What is it in life you hold dear |
search yourself honestly, be sincere |
Above all that you love, I implore |
before you can freely explore ||
A direction in life is a must |
or be tossed around like the dust |
To live life with meaning, a goal is worth seeking |
no matter how small or robust...

Wrong Choices
|
You must look back on years gone by |
wrong paths you took and wonder why ||
When this knowledge comes to light |
you will be free the choose what's right ||
A rush of sweet air and bright sun appear |
as the burden is lifted you see perfectly clear...

|
Be a Friend
|
Do you see the spirit of others |
through your own flawed reflection? |
Do you allow for everyone's differences |
and human imperfections? ||
Until you learn to wear their shoes |
and dance to their rhythm in time |
You will never be able to understand |
their complex rhythm or rhyme...
From PoesyArt By LL Gorman
|
Control! Control! Control!
|
To control living beings |
is to strip them of their right |
To choose their own direction |
learning by struggle and plight ||
Our influence over others |
by example we should set |
To support them on their journey |
just be their safety net ||
To protect and teach of danger |
is to nurture and love, you see |
The greatest gift ever given |
is to help find another's destiny...

Your Special Gift
|
Even the simplest, saddest soul |
has a special gift I am told ||
If this gift is never embraced |
a darkness falls upon ones face ||
Only when you find your place |
will you be filled with joy and grace...
from PoesyArt by LLGorman
|
Love Oneself?
|
You can only trust in others |
if you yourself you trust |
You can try understanding others |
but knowing oneself is a must ||
You can give yourself to others |
if your needs you've truly met |
Finding happiness and love with another, |
loving self first is a goal you must set...
from PoesyArt by LLGorman
|
Think before you "Decide"
|
Decisions, decisions a million decisions |
Always two sides to every decision ||
Not to decide gives others the weight |
To make those choices that control your fate ||
Decisive decisions you make everyday |
Will clearly define your tomorrows today...
from PoesyArt by LLGorman
|
Embrace your Fears
|
What you fear you must face |
what you face you must embrace ||
If that fear you don't embrace |
a greater fear will take its place ||
Until you face fear with fearless grace |
your demons grow harder and harder to erase...

About my Stop, Look, and Listen messages

Visit my PoesyArt.com gallery to these "stop, look, and listen" messages -- and more -- integrated with my giclee art. While visiting my site, take a peek at my "Whisper of Inspiration" full-color coffee-table hard-bound compilation of my favorite PoesyArt pieces.
I call my art PoesyArt because I merge my original lyrical art ("poesy") with my new media image art. Enjoy!

Dare to Create!!
|
If you left this world tomorrow, |
would you feel a depth of sorrow |
not living up to expectations |
falling short with family and relations? ||
What you thought this world to be |
who and what you thought you'd see |
is not exactly your reality, |
turned out to be a mere fantasy ||
It's never too late to make a difference |
now's the time to use your talents |
don't let this sadness be your fate |
think big, live big, and dare to create...

|
Do you anger easily?
|
Anger is as ugly mask that hides us from the truth |
How we really feel inside unpleasant or uncouth ||
Instead of blaming others be responsible, you see |
To face your deepest struggle in lessons of humanity||
When this emotion arises beyond your self-control |
Stop and wonder "Why of Why do I feel this in my soul" ||
Anger is a blessing that may be heaven-sent |
A chance to face your sorrows and love oneself again...

|
Is your ego getting in the way?
|
Living of the ego, by the ego and for the ego |
Is a narrow vision centered around "ME" |
Living of the spirit, by the spirit and for the spirit |
Awakens an expanded vision of "WE" ||
What an empty and pointless life there be |
Living and breathing only for "ME" |
A balance of both are important, to be |
Centered by blending the "ME" and the "WE"...
from PoesyArt by LLGorman
|
Dare to Listen!!
|
Dare to listen to the whisper of Inspiration |
Quiet the mind for momentous revelation |
Breathe in the essence of pure creativity |
Touch the soul and spirit of humanity |
Bathe in the healing light of quiet divinity |
To the enlightened path of your true destiny...
from PoesyArt by LLGorman
|
What do you think of yourself?
|
Who and what you think you are |
Who and what you think by far is |
Who and what you will become, by |
Whom and what your future is done...

Perfection
|
Perfection is, perfection does |
what is this thing we seek |
As illusive as a dream |
unattainable to keep ||
Perfection is for the Gods |
being human sets us free |
As relentless as we are |
how useless our efforts be...
from PoesyArt by LLGorman
|
Dare to be unique!
|
To be loved, to be liked |
to be part of a clan |
They support, cheer you on |
yet can just hold your hand ||
To be individual, to find self |
your wings you must seek |
Find your heart, find your voice |
trust in self, be unique...
