EMPOWERING POEMS

IN BLIND FAITH By Faenza Aitken

My Blind Faith I asked myself to which extent do I have?

Says universe to me to all extent you prosper don’t worry your very soul

To change and move ahead says they we know and believe in you

Erase the past and seek us fast your there yet did not know

We welcome all your queries and oppose your comment last

You are in light and speeding through quicker you last the task

To know you are exceeding the road we can now show for in the place there are no words no shadow’s or over-throw

So keep it light full of surprise and save your very soul from complicated drama-based in fear that will not grow

ODE TO MONEY By Faenza Aitken

Money is my friend money is all around

It comes in any currency US dollar note or pound

It keeps you in good company and yields you shares and stocks

For me it brings great pleasure with thoughts of riches and diamond rocks

I see it now everywhere and dream it right out loud

I see it in my slumber time all dripping golden sublime

Of course it sees me too I know its waiting shimmering and proud

So come my friends you modest lot I’ve plans for you ahead

Come forward take your place and stand

You are with me joyous to the end

“AU-GRATIS” By Faenza Aitken

My Gratitude abound no end of boundless dreams and memories that be

Given the strength of a perilous journey in the wake of dreams untold and penniless agreement foretold
You are now the creator of your ‘destiny’

I shall seek in the game within my given name a passage of right and secrecy

Hath I not been so bold in choice’s of old and caring for more that it’s given me

I see in the air a wisdom and promise to bear all fruits of the forest

No judgement is due not expected of you and share all the profits I give to you
All dreams that surpass they are not from the past they exist in an endless array
Of incredible passion and desire that happens when attachment is no longer the game

"LEST WE FORGET"

As I stood in proud acknowledgement to the ANZAC's we gathered around the Cenotaph with a cold chill in the air Pastor John spoke of those who had fallen as the autumn leaves fell from the trees all around us.

He spoke of courage, resilience and caring for one another, I felt my confidence rise inside me knowing our small gathering community had come together for this annual sacred day for the benefit of those past and present who fought and served in war.

He spoke a universal language to end all wars, then in conclusion he said,

"let today be a window and a mirror for us all"

So eloquently put, the window is to look through to see what is possible in life and the mirror is to reflect and find it inside ourselves.

As we observe this for ourselves we are able to take the time out from our routines, busy work schedules and family commitments to look through our own little windows of life and rediscover what we truely want that was put off and to make it a reality just by thinking about taking action today.
