Best Uplifting Poems

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
...

By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
On a black throne reigns upright,
...

The skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crisped and sere-
The leaves they were withering and sere;
It was night in the lonesome October
...

This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,
Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic,
Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.
...

BOOK I
DEEP in the shady sadness of a vale
Far sunken from the healthy breath of morn,
Far from the fiery noon, and eve's one star,

ENDYMION.

A Poetic Romance.

Play me a great symphony to enrich my heart,
Perform a concerto, to entrance me, please,
This music, so uplifting, always make it a big part
Of your life. Embrace the melody with ease.

I
MILES STANDISH

In the Old Colony days, in Plymouth the land of the Pilgrims
...

Child of my winter, born
When the new fallen soldiers froze
In Asia's steep ravines and fouled the snows,
When I was torn
...

No, he didn't utter a word

Raised his hand in salutation

As I lay in my bed slepe full unmete
Was unto me, but why that I ne might
Rest I ne wist, for there n'as erthly wight
[As I suppose] had more of hertis ese

I'm drifting
drifting with the clouds so gently
gently uplifting and oversteering so purposely
...

When descends on the Atlantic
The gigantic
Storm-wind of the equinox,
Landword in his wrath he scourges
...

PALLAS, attending to the Muse's song,
Approv'd the just resentment of their wrong;
And thus reflects: While tamely I commend
Those who their injur'd deities defend,
...

When on my day of life the night is falling,
And, in the winds from unsunned spaces blown,
I hear far voices out of darkness calling
...

Night of Mid-June, in heavy vapours dying,
Like priestly hands thy holy touch is lying
Upon the world's wide brow;
God-like and grand all nature is commanding
...

Love has placed a smile on my face,
Lighting upon it the bright grace
Of heaven, my heart did embrace.
In me, tenderness comes in place
...

Searching for the lost moments that are uplifting my emotions,
Like a shooting star, flashing so brightly,
Across the darkened skies,
Searching for the truth in the magnitude of lies,
...

Just at the self-same beat of Time's wide wings
Hyperion slid into the rustled air,
And Saturn gain'd with Thea that sad place
...

Oh the winds of winter chill me,
Shivers to my very bones,
Snowy mountain scenes that thrill me,
Fine blue skies with various tones,
...

MOVING-PICTURE ACTRESS

(After seeing the reel called "Oil and Water.")
...

There are fires on Lulu Island, and the sky is opalescent
With the pearl and purple tinting from the smouldering of peat.
And the Dream Hills lift their summits in a sweeping, hazy crescent,
With the Capilano canyon at their feet.

Soft is the sky in the mist-kirtled east,
Light is abroad on the sea,
...

The Summer
(Season of Love)
The Earth is getting hot,
The summer is silencing
...

The journey of life begun
That fateful day I was born
My eyes opened up blissfully to the sun
My soul, heart and brain emerged as one
...

Threads of time unraveling, through my nervous fingers,
Veil of sadness and darkness lingers,
A few sweet moments drop from sunny skies,
So many corrupt and mischievous lies,
...

Across the meadow in brooding shadow
I walk to drink of the autumn's wine­
The charm of story, the artist's glory,
To-day on these silvering hills is mine;
...

Turn, turn, my wheel? Turn round and round
Without a pause, without a sound:
So spins the flying world away!
...

I
WEEP not, beloved Friends! nor let the air
For me with sighs be troubled. Not from life
Have I been taken; this is genuine life
...

I

What dream you in the night-time
When you whisper to the moon?
...

Offspring of Jove, Calliope, once more
To the bright Sun, thy hymn of music pour;
Whom to the child of star-clad Heaven and Earth
...

Having no cooperation to uplift,
Without uplifting them fully,
Walking by dragging one's feet,
This is really so sad and painful.
...

Feel and enjoy this moment
Listen to the gentleness of silence
...

FOUR times the sun had risen and set; and now on the fifth day
Cheerily called the cock to the sleeping maids of the farm-house.
...

How much of my young heart, O Spain,
Went out to thee in days of yore!
What dreams romantic filled my brain,
And summoned back to life again
...

The Rasas!
Gamut of human emotions,
Enacted with much eagerness,
The pathos - of separation from the lover
...

1.
A pale Dream came to a Lady fair,
And said, A boon, a boon, I pray!
I know the secrets of the air,
...

Oh, to be soul-kissed
the deep kiss;
mouth brushing past
parted lips.
...

Profession has inspired me
rendering services to the clients
on the check up of their health status
made sure that my analysis were correct
...

To kneel before some saintly shrine,
To breathe the health of airs divine,
Or bathe where sacred rivers flow,
...

Before i had my innocence thrown
Between the laps of women '

Before i knew that a red rose can
...

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint of snow
...

I

With love exceeding a simple love of the things
That glide in grasses and rubble of woody wreck;
...

MADDENED by Earth's wrong and evil,
'Lord!' I cried in sudden ire,
'From Thy right hand, clothed with thunder,
Shake the bolted fire!
...

Out of the gray northwest, where many a day gone by
Ye tugged and howled in your tempestuous grot,
And evermore the huge frost giants lie,
Your wizard guards in vigilance unforgot,
...

Whilst riding on the phantoms of my musings
I came across thee and I thought
Are you a reflection of my soul
Are you the reverbration of my drum
...

“Life is only about what you are,
right now, in this red-hot fresh
moment emitting.”
...

Is it so, that the sword is broken,
Our sword, that was halfway drawn?
Is it so, that the light was a spark,
That the bird we hailed as the lark
...

I.

OH! watch me; watch me still
Thro' the long night's dreary hours,
...

To live is to dream.
Magnificent, glorious, uplifting
dreams of heart-rending beauty
even the saints tremble in awe of.
...

NIGHT on the city of the Moor!
On mosque and tomb, and white-walled shore,
On sea-waves, to whose ceaseless knock
The narrow harbor gates unlock,
...

ORPHEUS.
LAUGHTER and dance, and sounds of harp and lyre,
Piping of flutes, singing of festal songs,
...

The wind of change
Blows through our days
Sometimes can leave
Our minds with haze
...

If I could frame for you in cunning words
The songs my heart in sleep is often singing,
You'd fancy, love, an orquestra of birds
...

He laughed and I laughed with him,
He joked and I joked too,
He smiled and took away despair,
And with it, the doldrums flew.
...

Give her a chance to rekindle their on and off romance,
With her love she keeps and weeps in her unruly heart,
Memories of turbulence and the way they used to dance,
Leading them into an uplifting trance,
...

Beauty of ‘The Ideal’, a dream of
wonder – needs no surreal reality
disposed to be enchanting
...

Complete your work with full attention,
Never try to give it an extension;
Because some says life gives you a second chance,
While other believes it happens only once.
...

I can't remember tuna sanwiches
Ever tasting so good
Or chicken noodle soup, so tasty;
Must have always been the cook;
...

I

Sword in length a reaping-hook amain
Harald sheared his field, blood up to shank:
...

If you go to the shop and say
I'd like to procure some thoughts for today
And the shopkeeper says we have thoughts on sale
That will make you weep and make you wail
...

Good morning, God
in this picture-book, pre-work moment.

Look at that pair of yellow-billed kites
...

You are growing convalescent
As pain's fingers are withdrawn;
And you waken in a strange, white room at last;
Yet your thought is aught but pleasant
...

There was a gathering of time
in odd spaces.

There was a gathering of spaces
...

the never ending battle between light and dark
never lost never won
sides change
people die and people are born
...

Atlantes' magic towers Astolpho wight
Destroys, and frees his thralls from prison-cell.
Bradamant finds Rogero, who in fight

........................Empty
..............forgotten, forsaken
..sighing, wanting, resting, opening
mindless, thoughtless, sealed, sated
...

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

Last month's showcase, for me, has come and gone, ignored by many.
But, hey, that's one good thing on PH; you may read all OR not any!
I prefer to use poems not too long, so some I'll edit. Don't you fret.
Each poet may have one poem each month here. Will I get ………..
...

Who shall invoke her, who shall be her priest,
With single rites the common debt to pay?
On some green headland fronting to the East
Our fairest boy shall kneel at break of day.

MILES STANDISH

In the Old Colony days, in Plymouth the land of the Pilgrims
...

Now that the chiefs with minds intent on fight
Had drawn their armies near upon the hills
And all the gods beheld their chosen pair,
...

Pen, pencil and paper in hand with lots of smooth ink flowing
Thought and ideas pops up in the mind well worth the knowing
Then typed or written on paper not always in an orderly fashion
The making of rhyme and rhythm is one of our greatest passion
...

Luxuriously caressed by camaraderie, Hanlie weaving
such threads of happy, bright-smile delight; June being
mischievously buoyant, Hermien devoted to conscien-
tious duty and an elfin interest in what is going on
...

THIS Height a ministering Angel might select:
For from the summit of BLACK COMB (dread name
Derived from clouds and storms!) the amplest range
...

From the west the fast winds blow,
By force and with lovely sound,
By and by my emotions grow,
And freshness is there me around.
...

Blue Autumn Angel please don’t despair
Waking to clouds brings me down to sweet airs
Blue Autumn Angel please ease your sighing
Sleeping to moons brings me Venus in pairs
...

CHRIST WAS BORN, KING OF GLORY
in midwinter, mighty prince,
eternal, almighty, on the eighth day,
Healer, called, heaven's ward;
...

To Emerge … Is Not A Popular Thing
It Often Involves Pain
But, Once You Burst Forth From The Dam …
Oh, What A Glorious Gain!

Spirituality Is About Individuality


Spirituality is the buzz word for the new era.
...

Upanishads are
Undoubtedly, intellectual treats,
Unravelling, the secrets of the intellect,
Uplifting the mind with its profundities,
...

Flat on her stomach,
All her limbs aching,
Inch by inch forward she squeezed
Through the long crawl,
...

In my garden gambol
green beetles
by twos and threes,
...

To breathe for all ye
In times of dreadful iniquity
Sway of chronic deceit,
Vicious misdeed -
...

White swan of cities, slumbering in thy nest
So wonderfully built among the reeds
Of the lagoon, that fences thee and feeds,
...

Senate is for lawmakers
entrusted by moral obligations
notwithstanding what values they have
as long as those laws they make are worthy

Medoro, by Angelica's quaint hand,
Is healed, and weds, and bears her to Catay.
At length Marphisa, with the chosen band,

Your hair by the sea blew
gardenia-scented
drawing from me sudden breath
in light
...

Friendship is a garden for my friends and I,
And we’ve sworn that the plants would never die.
The laughs we shared as we gave it care
Were as bright and lively as the flowers there.
...

Here is an uplifting thought,
Greater than some problems we have now rought!

Let's care more about their minds,
...

The skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crisped and sere -
The leaves they were withering and sere;
It was night in the lonesome October
...

I'm a human,
I'm a human!
I'm a human! !
To have a baby,
...

Dancing with fever, angst and fun,
Underneath the dazzling, disco lights,
Waiting to meet their king of hearts,
On these long, delusional nights,
...

REMEMBERING MY PET, BEFORE GOING TO BED

Where are you going to, my Panter?
It is half past one midnight
...

It's amazing how a smile can brighten one's day.
Coming across all sorts of trials and tribulations
Could dampen anyone's spirit
But one smile could be so uplifting.
...

(dedicated to Mr. Carl Harris, a great poet at poemhunter)

Daybreak softly
Breaks my weak
...

I think we take way too much for granted
When our life is not going wrong
But when that changes, it is so difficult
We are not uplifting, optimistic and strong.
