Featured Poet | Nic Bosworth

Featured Poet | Nic Bosworth
Nic shared this poem at a gathering and I convinced him to give me a copy so I could post it here.
Strives Born of Struggles
As a baby we crawled for miles
Before we learned to walk
We mumbled incoherently
Before we learned to talk
I believe God gave us these struggles
So we would understand
That life’s [...]

UWABC Networking Breakfast

UWABC Networking Breakfast
I had the opportunity to be the presenter at the monthly UWABC meeting in Salt Lake City, UT.  I decided to use the presentation time to co-create a poem.  First, I gathered information from those in attendance according to the order form.  Next, I wrote a poem using the expressions from the group [...]

The Pit of Tranquility

The Pit of Tranquility
I fell deep into the hole in my soul
and darkness surrounded me,
permeated me,
engulfed me
I thought no light
I had no sight
It just was not right
for me to die
so I decided to try
to live again
even without any Peace
though I thought it elusive
and to certain exclusive
I continued to search in my sleep
until I gently woke [...]

Colorado Weekend | Absolution Ranch

Colorado Weekend | Absolution Ranch

We spent the weekend at Absolution Ranch
for some good ‘ol Western livin’
You don’t need a priest nor penance
to know that you are forgiven… 
Down in the Colorado Paradox Valley
Where God’s greatest gifts are displayed
with incredible views and tranquil gardens
a perfect combination of sunshine and shade
Though the property is fenced for horses
we blazed [...]

Conflict | Peace

Conflict | Peace
My favorite prayer is “Help”
I often ask more specifically
with “Help me to see this differently”
and then I am reminded
about where I was amiss
Surely instead of conflict
I can see Peace instead of this…
For the one who likes to argue…
Do not cloud our light
with your need to be right
just an ego retreat
For there is no [...]

Spring Sonnet | Season Sale

Spring Sonnet | Season Sale
What shall I post this week my love?
-How about an ode to Spring?
It’s all that I can think of
while the snow continues melting-
Ahh, spring a wonderful topic
the winter so quickly passed
though we are not yet tropic
with plenty of snow amassed
The days are lighter longer
and grasses are turning green
the streams are growing [...]

No Pain | All Gain

No Pain | All Gain
In the light of my willingness
past hurts are difficult to recall
and in the Spirit of Forgiveness
the pain never occurred at all
Just twists of my perception
reactions to the guilt I feel
a memory of separation
that I once believed was real
I am willing now to look upon
all the darkened spots within my soul
for the [...]

Garden of My Heart
Eyes close
world disappears.
I cross the threshold
into the garden of my heart.
The sweet perfume
beckons me to stay awhile
in the silent still fragrance
to relax in the gentle sway
of the universe.
I can rest here
bask in womb-like warmth
dance among the flowers
hear angels sing
be loved
be loving
be love
be

Personal Verse | To Thine Own Self Be True

Personal Verse | To Thine Own Self Be True
This world that is illusion
can not dictate how I feel
yet sometimes I’m in confusion
as to what is actually real
Nothing can define me
not my gender, race or name
yet others must remind me
that all this is just a game
So I watch my emotions tumble
through the perception clouding Vision
and as [...]
