Mary Poppins - Day2 #WriteBravely

“In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and—snap!—the job’s a game!” – Mary Poppins

Garden needs mowing

A job I am loathe to do

Time passes slowly

Music in my ears

Pretend it's a nature walk

Mowing easy, quick.

I am taking part in the Write Tribe Festival of Words

For the June 2018 festival I thought I would write some haiku and give this neglected blog a little love. Trying to bring back the poetry mojo.

The Lion King .... WTFOW Day1 #WriteBravely

“The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.” 

– The Lion King

Memories surface

Deep pain fills my grieving heart

Madeira beckons

Tears begin to flow

Past wrongs begin to surface

Learn to let it go.

Under God's Heaven

image source: google images

The tattered diary a prized possession

A life described during sad aggression

Senseless killing no one spared

Felt like no one even cared

Don't they know that war is futile

Destroying lives is sad and vile

I hope someday the light will shine

And peace and harmony will fall in line

When one community called humankind

Tolerance and love for each other will find

For our souls they weep in sad despair

And for us all they join in silent prayer

Imagine a world that's just like heaven

Where uplifting others is the only obsession

And kindness is a daily habit

And we feel the presence of the Holy Spirit

The tattered diary was a prized possession

Why don't we learn from it and end repression.

I chose the diary of Anne Frank as something that would've been quite ordinary but a prized possession to Anne. Her story touches our hearts and is the inspiration behind my poem. What went on in Anne's mind, did she wonder about a time under God's heaven when peace would be the way?

The Lesson

Today I have the privilege of being the host for The Writers' Post blog hop and my chosen prompt is "The Lesson".

My belief is that we all arrive into this world into this life so our souls may learn and grow.

So life presents us with situations to learn the lessons we are here to learn. And the situations present themselves over and over again until the lesson is learned.

If we look back at our lives, we can see a pattern emerge and from that we can establish the lesson(s) we are meant to learn. Steve Jobs put this quite nicely as "looking back to join the dots".

If the lesson evades us I believe that we carry it through from life to life until eventually we conquer and move on.

Over the years I have realised that there are a few lessons I'm pretty sure my soul is here to learn. Perhaps my karma is intertwined into this.

One of these I am sure is forgiveness.  Looking back to "join up the dots", I can see so many situations where an opportunity to learn forgiveness was presented. And I have finally learned to let go of bitterness where events have occurred that have been hurtful or where I felt betrayed or wronged.

So here's a poem I wrote and stored away for that opportunity to share.

Oh forgiveness, you demanding friend

Through many journeys my soul you bend

A heavy load I carry through aeons

In life after life as queens or minions

My spirit is worn down and heavily chained

That elusive lesson from my mind refrained

A flash of light, a beautiful blue

A Divine intervention experienced by few

A message is handed in the kindest of ways

The mind is enlightened, dissolved is the haze

In anger I walked off, tired and weary

In proving my love was pure and worthy

I should've forgiven, looked into your heart

We may have journeyed together, instead of apart.

~

This poem is inspired by a past life reading that I had. It was one of the most amazing experiences I ever had. So truly the lesson of forgiveness I have carried over from a life a long long long long time ago. 

So what is The Lesson for you?

Fact or fiction, poetry or prose, take this prompt as you will and share The Lesson. Then link up with the linky below and please link back to my post.

I look forward to reading your lesson.
