Guided by the Light

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

​I stand before you Lord
My heart open to your love
The rest of the world falls away
As you funnel to me love
There is no connection so pure
As the truth of Your Light
I am guided by you my Lord
​By the strength of your Light.

​Bountiful is the harvest
Wellness overflows
We are blessed
Healing takes hold
Hearts of plenty
Minds are pure
That's what happens
When no chemicals are near
Thank you Lord for this harvest
​Blessed be, gratitude and love.

Paradise

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

​It does exist
We often look for it outside of ourselves
But it is really located deep within
Close your eyes, breath deeply, slowly
Let your thoughts fall away
Imagine sitting on the shore
A deserted island with no chores
Listen to the waves lull your mind
​Paradise!

From ice age to climate change
My has our world changed
1-2-3-4 pillars of the world
We have opened the door
The ozone secure no more
The Arctic melts
My heart welts
Whales need to escape
Caught up in our shame
Tangled and mangled
Coming ashore
Seeking help
Help them live
Saving their life
Is saving humanity.

Wrapped in elegance
Tightly holding on
Keeping secrets close
Is it safe?
Shall I go?
Shall I stay?
Letting go slowly
Sun shining freely
Feeling warm embrace
Little by little
Rejoicing, releasing, reliving
Here I am
In your embrace.

While you are one of a kind in personality
You are officially nearing ONE of a kind in wildlife
As an Eastern Puma nearing extinction
You have taught me to be fearless in this world
Standing as one against the atrocities of humanity
The love within your heart always distinct.

Fake News

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

In a world confusing and unjust
Rumors and lies swirling around us fake
I am forced to decipher communication myself
Pull out the shards of the truth
Shed the corrosion and ramp up the volts
I no longer sit in the dark I am fed
Turn on the power, let there be light!

Whales Are People Too

I wish I may, I wish I might, save a whale tonight
While majestic and pure, they are person-like beings
Cycling water and life as one
They keep all life on earth healthy through sustainable efforts
 
While majestic and pure, they are person-like beings
Humans and whales can co-exist with our best efforts
They keep all life on earth healthy through sustainable efforts
We need to be in a state of equilibrium with whales and all marine life
 
Humans and whales can co-exist with our best efforts
They keep all life on earth healthy through sustainable efforts
We need to be in a state of equilibrium with whales and all marine life
Oceans would simply be waters without life within them…and us

We all need to work together as each one is of value to our life
If it were not for these ecosystem engineers deep in the oceans
Oceans would simply be waters without life within them...and us
Whales freely calm the oceans into a place of serenity, song and vibrant health.

Charlie

Picture
Many lifetimes ago, Charlie stood along the shores
Head held high in silence as the wind whispered in his mane
While many are unfamiliar with his former existence
Proof remains in plain sight 
As he again prepares to gallop into life
Charlie will stand as a symbol, a sign, a message
The need among nations to unify and stand strong together
In a time of the rising up of the injustices in the world
It is a time more fit for kings to rule with the sword of hope, truth, and renewal
For better tomorrows for all citizens
Not just those who pave over to get their way
As Charlie's mane will again blow in the wind
So too, will protection and grace around him as he is watched over

A symbol of faith among nations
His presence will renew in the face of adversity
Even through the harshness of life
Bringing this world into brighter tomorrows
Standing tall yet humble to be called upon as faithful servant of God
As honor and justice will glorify Him
A protector of national treasures and for the unification of nations
As the sun sets, the moon rises, the tides rise and fall
Seasons have come and gone
Strong ties will bond together what man may never put asunder 
His message is clear to one and all
It is time to love one another.

​Rose are red
Violets are blue
My love is deep
And truer than true

Your imperfections
I have never seen
While you are sure
They exist within you

Reflections of love
Flow forth to you
A reflection of love
Coming forth from you.

What is Poetry?

5/2/2018

Picture
Poetry is words from the soul
That come forth
When truth stirs within
And begs to be heard
Until we let them
Live free in the world
In the sharing of emotions
Evoked or reflections within
Sometimes to heal others
Sometimes to heal ourselves
You choose!

The Forests

The forests are where I go to renew and recharge my energy
It is a place where everything is alive
And willing to share in the energy with you
See the tallness of the forest as representing your strength
The darkness is there to remind you there is light in the world
And the butterflies....
Well, they let you know your loved ones are near....
Very near, for love never dies
It marches right beside us in all our triumphs and sorrows
When you feel sorrow know that is when they hold you in their wings
Not Broken, just mending your heart until you sing again.

Unity

unity
Out of the midst 
Strength comes forward
Hoof prints in the sand
Imprinted in hearts
Nobility, innocence, courage
A symbol of unity and rebirth
Reconciliation within and with nations
A celebration of cultures
Uniting humanity.

Wild Sable

Wild Sable Island Horse
On the shores of Sable I stand
As the wind wisps by me
Huddled in my innocence
Unaware of the vastness 
Of the world at large
The days have stretched far
From yesterdays conflict 
Into tomorrows unknown
A national treasure
Wild and undisturbed 
Living in natural pleasures
Despite the harshness of the weather
I hear the rolling sea thunder
I see the sun on the horizon
I taste the sweetness of the earth
I feel the sand beneath my hooves
I smell the winds as they flow
While many ancestors have past
Here we stand in unity
Attesting to the days gone past
Although my coat has many colors
My sense of pride rings true
I am a French Acadian Canadian.

Elephants Are Love

​As I walk through the jungle
I am at peace with the world
The sun and the moon guide me
My tribe is my glory
We trumpet for all to hear
Helping young ones succeed
And waiting for the old and dying
We have compassion for life
Not just our own
I am an elephant
My tusks are for foraging
As do you in society
They are filled with tissue, blood and nerves
Teeth to help feed me in the great outdoors
While they never stop growing
They are filled with my love
Which I keep alive inside
When removed, they represent dying
A removal of love so pure
It rips out my heart and I am left crying
My majesty is unique
Help me keep my young safe
Leave us to our peace
Please give up this obsession for ivory.

Amplify Women

empower women
When I walk in nature
It speaks to me 
Embracing me with kindness
I, in turn, with gratitude and love
It teaches me to listen
Understand and grow
So when I enter into the busy world
I do not need to be silenced
For I have come from safe surroundings
Protected, guided and influenced
I will not be silenced by others
I will continue to be as God intended
Sometimes mild
Other times speaking up
But always standing up 
I will amplify without causing harm
I choose who to converse with
Where, when and how
For I am a mirror that reflects 
What I have learned
To treat others with respect
No matter how they choose to deflect
Let peace and love guide the way
For it is all that surely matters.

Liar, Liar

25/8/2017

Liar, Liar!
She hollered
You're a liar!
As I watched her run away from herself
Her ego too afraid to admit the truth
The truth in front of her
She wants not to see 
Truth be known
I will be a liar the day I believe her lies
To and about me insulting me with terror
Spreading false rumors to make her ego soar higher
While she has the nerve to accuse without the facts
Showing the reality of her personality
Judging and wondering why others run away
Is that what humanity is really all about?
Is the ego within more important than reality?
But alas, the ego can not run away from the fate of karma
For the days spent horrifying others already affects her
Her health a show of her accounts
Hating others is no way to heal
Anger follows her fake persona
As I stand and watch the display
It jars me to my core
I stand shaken and out of sorts
But react with such distaste I can not 
My ego acts in a different way
It stands up for me with my faith in spirit
It leads me to a place of knowing
Knowing that I am worthy of being valued
Spirit knows love is not abusive
It fears not for fear is not love
When she admits to herself
That what she fears is inside herself
Is the day she will start to heal 
The day she will start to love herself
I hope for her sake that day comes before her tomorrows
As I stand and pray for mercy for the display leading to sorrow.

Ocean Treasures

30/7/2017

ocean poetry
The ocean's vastness leads way to many treasures
Found deep within and near to shore
Always changing, never ceasing to amaze
Come near to adore it, to feel it, to hear it
It lives, it breathes, it restores my soul
As the waves rush over its shores
Rock tumbling and polishing 
To and fro it gives and it takes
It sustains us from deep within its soul
Each day a new adventure
A new beginning as nature blossoms 
In silent reverence beneath the shining sun
It needs no one's approval
It is as God intended
Nourishing and renewing and so it is
As I stand before it in awe of its vastness and treasures.

The Rose Bud

25/7/2017

flowersWild Rose
Along a crevice in the walk a tiny rose bud is born
No matter how hard people have both intentionally and unintentionally
Walked on it, stamped it out, ground it back into the earth
Nature is a part of God and the Light that shines upon it shall never cease
It bursts forth in silent innocence growing stronger everyday
Its roots deeply planted in the soil ready to spring forth each day
The sweetness of its aroma pleases God
Reaching up and out it declares with its petals wide open
As it exposes its inner heart, its truth, its courage
"Here I am Lord, I am ready to bring forth the warmth of your love"
It patiently sits before us waiting for us to awaken parts inside
The simply act of allowing love to flow within us and outward to others
As we look into nature and see the face of God.

Inward We Grow

introvertTilly
When we accept ourselves for who we are, we can learn so much about life
Balance is the key to growing and becoming stronger
Spirit soars as strength increases deep within the soul
The silence of nature speaks to my soul, as nature carries me away

Balance is the key to growing and becoming stronger
Intuition grants me knowing that I have the ability to be authentic
The silence of nature speaks to my soul, as nature carries me away
Compassion overflows from the beauty of the soul

Intuition grants me knowing that I have the ability to be authentic
The silence of nature speaks to my soul, as nature carries me away
Compassion overflows from the beauty of the soul
I am thankful for the gift to be myself

God has created this world for us all to be unique
Spirit soars as strength increases deep within the soul
I am thankful for the gift to be myself
When we accept ourselves for who we are, we can learn so much about life.

I Stand

9/6/2017

0 Comments

 
I've been beaten down inside
But I stand up and face the world
I've been scolded in front of others
But I stand with my head high
I've been called unpleasant names
But  I return the favor not
I've been told who I'm not
But I know who I am inside
I've been lied about to others
But I haven't had those come forth
I've been accused of being alone
But alone I'll never be for He is with me
I've been mocked, stamped out like dirt
But I brush myself off and go forward
I've received the contradictory insults
But I like my style and wear it proudly
I've been threatened to the core of my existence
But I fear not the fear you feel inside you

Bullies prey on those who can't defend
They go to those who will not ask
They manipulate others to their way
They take the wildest chances
They tell the wildest stories
To those who've even known you longer
For bullies fear inside themselves
They lash out at those they feel are a threat
Those that are smarter, prettier or quieter
Those who have found their way
They try to throw off kilter
For that is where they live
They are insecure, lonely, fearful
They need to exert their force
Look at me they say
You are inferior
They perceive what they want
Not what is truly there before them
They fear the untruths coming true
That they will be found out
So they act louder to off set the way
Constantly providing lies
To turn the seekers away
I stand here and tell you not
I need you not to validate myself
I am different, thank God
But so are we all

I enjoy the gifts of life
I love the waking of the sun
The singing of the birds
The sweet scents nature exudes
The soft touch at my finger tips
I have friends that care for me
I have God that protects me
Both inside and when I stand out
While the rain falls down around
I am comforted by His drops
My sorrows rises to Heaven
His touch returns them to me
Full of the joy He offers to me
His Light shines bright before me
His hand extends outward to me
We walk side by side today and always
Foot by foot, inch by inch
As far as the path will take me
I sleep in peace and dream with Him
And that is what my bully taught me
How to stand with Him til the end
Full of love for life and others
My compassion overflows
As my love bursts forth
Finding new heights in standing solo.
