192. Boxing Day Pondering © Hélène Levasseur

Thank God here was not the existence of Christmas Blues
Too much fun acquiring this nice Blue Blingy Blouson
A Birthday gift from my lovely Hubby Robert Charron
To celebrate by sipping on some Bailey’s Irish Cream Booze

How exciting it has been to spend this Boxing Day
Imagine shopping with your hubby Bobbykins
This time not having to parade some fashionable wins
Whilst selecting my birthday gift for New Year’s Day

Robert will celebrate me Hélène’s 65th birthday forthcoming
At beautiful Saint St. Grill Restaurant in Port Moody
I’ll order my favourite Glazed Beef Tenderloin so fancy
As I festively thank God for his lovable Son’s new coming

2017 is where we are keen to be seen and all that a plenty
Enjoying the small things and all of God’s graces that submerge
Undersanding we are in God’s School of Learning to merge
Into the wonders of His teachings and learn to become happy

Don’t mind me folks I’m just spending some free time
On my computer trying to write a prose poem for fun
But rest assured I’m praying too feeling like we’re spun
Into changing our ways and therefore becoming prime

Perhaps it is God’s will that we change in numerous ways
Actually walking away from our me/myself and I persona
Into entering simplicity/humility and Integrity phenomena
This forthcoming year will encompass the latter in a haze

Well… It appears we’re entering the New Year 2017 with glee
My New Year Resolution is diligently to “Honour Others”
Imagine treating everyone as if they were our Brothers and Sisters
What a beautiful family the world would become with dignity

Prayers galore will be necessary in our quest of betterment
As we move forth gracefully and perhaps become soulfully holy
Why not! Jesus did say “I am Holy and therefore become Holy!”
I believe that our world would change with his archaic Statement

Voila mes amis.  We are seen to be keen and yes Holy!
So on your mark. Get set, go and move forth and be Saintly!

191. From my Celestial Enlightened Friend Claudette © Hélène Levasseur

Tonight in my prayerful resting place my departed friend Claudette has come to me in locutions confirming my beliefs. Believe this or not. She was my best friend on earth. She passed away in late 2008 after I had acquired my second cancer which was Ovarian Cancer like hers. Tonight Claudette was doing her lovely coaching and it went something like this:

Claudette Coleman is cheering, praying and praising God for all Cancer Survivors!

Hélène! What’s happening to you?
Don’t give up! Get up and move on!
We in the heavenly realms up above
Are chanting & praying wonders for you

In our Hourly Festive Moments with the Lord
We are making a special toast for you
Hip! Hip! Hooray! Today is your great day!
A Boost of Balanced Energy is coming your way!

Your prayerful wishes for family and friends
For those who you know and know not
Are cherished and manifestations of love
Are immersed in what you think, say and do

So continue to bring us your cheers & chuckles
God Hélène immerses prayer warriors like you
With an abundance of Peace and Hope
Always embellishing them with Love

I come to you today to thank you generously
For your Christmas and New Year resolutions
Where we believe that you will indeed bring forth
And that is your “Honouring Others” Promise

Way to go my old chum! Cheerio Pip Pip to you!
Our Lord Jesus Christ is Emmanuelizing you!
His Holy Spirit as you know is guiding your steps
Let go and let God give you His guidance always

Let us celebrate Merry Christmas like never before
Ascertaining that we put Jesus Christ always first
Expect miracles in your midst and entourage
Never lose Faith regardless of what is forthcoming

Remember not to think that you’re not following my foosteps
Your Metastatic Cancers are moving differently than mine
Remember in your prayer that you are a Link in a Bond
Between God’s People on Earth and you my friend

End this Year with Peace and Prosperity and Fun
Promise Our Lord Jesus that you will become active
In the Community and in your personal Hygienic Health
We like your resolution to be more fruitarian & vegetarian

Hélène God’s Celestial Hosts are cheering you all the way
Our Lord Jesus Christ has a Plan for you to manifest
Wait in anticipation for this invitation to come to you
That will bring you into a World of true Heroism

You know that it has nothing to do with Ego/Pride & Vanity
As you believe wholeheartedly in Humility/Simplicity & Integrity
Now the time has come to let things happen as they will
Not requiring any hindrances from anyone nor you my dear

Your Joie de Vivre soon will be restored old friend and buddy
Your beliefs also will submerge and bring you into new heights
Trudy yes Beamish sends you her love and encouragement
Believing in your innocence and tolerance of ill wills of others

In Heaven Hélène we’re all there family and friends galore
Observing and praying profusely for the world’s state of affairs
Continue to read the bible saying your daily prayers soulfully
Never lose Faith and believe that God is always there for you

A Portfolio is being prepared for you where your voice enlivens
God’s population on Earth from a distance for nearly 30 years to date
Yes you’re reviewed under a Satellite mindfully and that is good
Do not lose hope for Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all man

I bid you fairwell for now dear friend and remember forever
That Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour is forthcoming
His promises are recorded and must be read diligently
Though you no longer have memories of your readings

His Holy Spirit will give you the words when it becomes necessary
Fear not Hélène! Be obedient without complaining or arguing
Time is short on earth and you know that we are Everlasting
And so continue to go into your Prayerful Resting Place

Goodnight Hélène. Be vigilant. Take courage. Be brave.
You have not been forgotten and as a matter of fact
As you know you rest in the palm of our Lord’s hands
Be diligent. Rest and Forgive and Forget injustices

With God entering Heaven Hélène you will say:
“I too am Enlightened! Hallelujah and Amen!”

189. Poetry is Illuminating © Hélène Levasseur

 

Poetry makes me want to believe that its easy to live
Surviving a Brain Injury and Two Cancers so progressive
I, Marie Noëlle Hélène Levasseur Charron is no captive
In remission I am forgiving as I remain somewhat active

The Hoy Wow Poets in Maple Ridge of which I am the Founder
Orchestrating it for several years has been quite an adventure
Poets some self published some not paint a fine delightful picture
Of neatly performing recital at Poetry Clubs with lots of vigour

A visit to Poetry Bashes at Performance Works on Granville Market
Gave me a will to free poets bringing forth their ingenious wit
Whether in outstanding prose & rhyme poetry so devoutly fit
For odd audiences showing the Lower Mainland’s Grand Spirit

Once a Teacher, Secretary and Trade and Consumer Show Manager
Enabled me to go through what was destroyed only to encounter
New skills, talents and treasures encompassing that of a “Rhymester”
Seeing and saying the sky’s never the limit for one who is a “Star Gazer”

Things will surely pass as a Tragedy is proven to be only momentary
In a coma for three weeks one becomes they say quite contrary
Out of balance our equilibrium remains deranged or fragmentary
It’s not our fault as everything we say is purposely involuntary

2017 is forthcoming and it is my time to have a Benevolent Career
Doing Poetry shows at the Act Theatre with hoopla and cheer
Inviting the Fraser Valley Folks to embark on as a Volunteer
Published or not poets joining to simply becoming a Pioneer

Holy wow Poets invite you! So on your mark. Get set and Go!
Read “Poetry for Dummies” and compose a poem so profoundo
Show us that there is nothing that you cannot undergo
Become a renown poet in our midst producing el manifesto

I, Hélène Levasseur, think that I’m onto something of glory
A miracle from a production re. “An International Documentary”
From “Mental Damage to Homage” so we can make this honorary
Realizing that we were all mean for quite a “Coup of Publicity!”

188. Enlightened after Decades © Hélène Levasseur

Almost three decades have gone like bye byes
Leaving me with years  following my demise
But without many disheartening wailing cries
I venture out with vim that thus fortifies

Was labelled severely brain injured
My intelligence somewhat hampered
Focus and concentration was tampered
Leaving traces of being brain severed

Many semesters were in my recovery
The first one was labelled “A Tragedy”
“Trauma” was the second and very weary
Lo and behold “Triumph” has come finally

Nearing this third decade I feel forbidden
The doctors said I would remain hidden
Everything I learned was ver heavy laden
What can I say when I was so crestfallen

After many years I’m only now reintegrating
Time is here to come out of any rehabilitating
And slowly enter the World when dismantling
Engrained fears obtained by simply doing nothing

At the Act Theatre I get rid of any kind of ill will
Delving into becoming public moving forth uphill
I could leave a message that shrills people’s thrill
The audience watches one with this outstanding pill

Well her Pill is “Poetry!” Her Therapy! Her Triumph!

173. Prosaic and a little Poetic © Hélène Levasseur

HELENE LEVASSEUR

Helene has the style or diction of prose in her compositions
When reading all her poems we see she lacks poetic beauty
She however believes prosaic language can convey her experiences
Following being a survivor of a Severe Brain Injury and  Metastatic Cancers

Some have proclaimed that her poems are like fridge magnets
Ordinary, everyday, commonplace, conventional, routine
Run of the mill, straightforward, by the numbers and like workadays
She however believes that she is interesting, imaginative and inspirational

Hélène realizes that she has been preoccupied by prosaic day to day concerns
So commonplace and has faced being  challenged becoming unromantic
It is her goal to manifest into one of the most popular Brain Injury and Cancer Poets
O.K. I guess the News about her will be the popular Brain Injury and Cancer Prosaic writer.

News of 2016: Hélène is to become an acknowledged Writer with Prosaic Poetry

172. Autobiographic Prose Poetry © Hélène Levasseur

Lush-Lily-Bouquet

The white lilies are still beautifully blooming
After two weeks from Kam’s Market into my home
What a fragrance so overwhelmingly astonishing
Where mysteriously I no longer feel wholesome

A new sense of identity is always submerging
With the help of a dictionary and thesaurus
As I have time with this weather really warming
My yearning for literary arts with God’s Son Jesus

A Universal sense of belonging looms in my vicinity
Born and raised as a Catholic I want to serve him
Acquiring Christ-like and Mary-like ways to simply
Obey magnificently reading daily the bible with vim

For now much more than a quarter of a century
Life has continued in its usual yearnings for hope
With recovery and rehabilitation existing a destiny
Where comes the long awaited reintegration elope

In ten years I reached bronze which is my 1st base trimester
My next ten years I made it to the 2nd base which is brass
I am in my 3rd base/trimester which is silver for Levasseur
In four years I will have made it home to a Diamond pass

In my eulogy one day there will be mention of the following
1. Elementary School Teacher – Graduate of Teacher’s
College in Sudbury, Ontario. English Grade 7 & 8.
2. Paediatric Secretary – For Drs. Hingston, Rigg and Dejong
3. Sales Representative for Benndorf -Verster selling Canon
Photocopiers
4. Sales & Marketing Manager in the Trade and Consumer 
Show Industry for Tracon Exhibition and Southex Exhibition
5. Founder of the Holy Wow Poets and thus a Poet
6. Singer, Song-writer, Speaker, Casual Guitarist, A few notes on 
the Piano.
7. Cancer Survivor
8. Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor
9. Yearning to be Spiritually Fit!

The Lily is my favourite flower because of its fragrance
Gerberas are my second because of colour and beauty
The bouquets would encompass my funeral with elegance
No worries folks I am still in remission and now feel pretty

Thank you for your ongoing well wishes and prayers
Also if you have read me thus far I am amazed with you

It is said that Hélène’s Don’t Quit Poetry Recitals are Stellar
How exciting regarding her who one once labelled Bipolar
Perhaps she is considered some days a Loser or a Gainer
But let us have faith in Her lovely Almighty Creator

God knows her inside out and is the Redeemer
It is believed that one day she will be Popular
Perhaps found in everyone’s diary as a Newcomer
It is believed that to many she is a Forerunner

Being a T.B.I. Traumatic brain injury Survivor
We could see her as a Campaigner and/or Entertainer
Regardless of the truth that she reacts like a Teenager
It’s better now out of once being diagnosed a 10 year Junior

Time has come to rise and shine somewhat Irregular
But this is because she was challenged to be a Spectator
Because of her lack of memory she can’t be a Gossipper
It would probably require her to become more a Gospeller

Oh well this poem reflects that Hélène is still a Dreamer
Not to worry it will probably start the spreading of a Rumour
It is simple to realize that one can be an incessant Learner
Though known that for a quarter of century she was a Loner

Thanks be to God everyone that she never became a Moaner
This is because every day she would turn it all to her Saviour
She knew in her heart that God is our Dad and is Super-Duper
She believed that birds of a feather like Eagles hang Together

Emmanuel the Holy Spirit made her become an earnest Believer
The Medical Profession believed that she would scarcely Recover
But “All things are Possible with God” is Hélène’s incessant Banner
And has been known that life via struggles we can carry an Eraser

As it has been a job to re-establish a good Cognitive Behaviour
Thank God that He has given her a direct Celestial Flavour
Let us remember that once she was a “Mover and a Shaker”
Nothing would stop her from always remaining a Stargazer

The Severe Brain Injury became like a confrontational Deceiver
Having learned to turn impossibilities into a possibilities’ Endeavour
Would become a part of her Spiritual, Medicinal, Christian Altar
Turning over everything to Our Lord Jesus Christ the God Master

This is how Our Lord became the School of Sweethearts’ Sponsor
So from the beginning it was important to become a Globetrotter
From a satellite in Hélène’s mind’s came an Intellectual Measure
She was medically diagnosed eccentric and sometimes Out of Kilter

But folks over the last quarter of a century
A Journalist is spreading a Headline about me
“An Enlightened Genius is Hélène Levasseur!
She is responding: ” Mon Doux. Mon Dieu!”

169. Time for Contrition © Hélène Levasseur

I now choose to follow this command with almighty diligence!

I now choose to follow this command with almighty diligence!

Time for me to go into sorrow over sin
A true purpose of my amendment
That’s what happens when you begin
To review your life no longer transparent

It’s a realization of our past being reminiscent
Of all our values and any that are undervalued
We start when our health shows maladjustment
Reviewing our past, present and future subdued

Lo and behold a check list we make right away
Who, What, Where, When, Why, Which and How
We right away reflect if our time was up let’s say
Certainly changes all our thoughts somehow

Losing weight falls off from our check list
It’s replaced with who can I call to say “I Love You”
You want to thank everyone and hope you haven’t missed
Anyone dear to your heart through and through

So the moral of this story is it’s not too late
To make amends over anything that we regret
It’s like a game and we hope to say in the end “checkmate”
We’ve had all our life to get it right without offset

So on your mark. Get set. Go Friends. Go.
With chin up. Shoulders back. Standing straight
Moving forth living it up to the fullest to and fro
Thanking God for this time before the Golden Gate

Though I fretted yesterday over the state of my health
Today I was told I’m still in remission and that relieved me
Now I’m going to be working on my spiritual wealth
What a beautiful chance to become righteous and free

So here I go again writing and composing to no end
It’s just a journal and thanking you for reading it
Many thanks indeed for your prayers and being a friend
You have no idea how it pleases Our Holy Spirit

Emmanuel = God with us = is who I spend time with
He tells me everything of Jesus Christ in Heaven
I now know who I will be serving forever forthwith
Having become a member of God’s rose garden

I’ve been told that I am on hold but rest and behold
That God recognizes his followers by their rose scent
Knowing that the earth is our School of Learning is gold
For those that He is calling to be His heaven’s adornment

Well everyone we are called to be God’s Heavenly Population
It’s a Slow but Sure Balancing Act and we can get it right
Are we going to be elementary, secondary or Universal in Orion
The Celestial Equator where we perhaps are heading for His Light

Well don’t mind me folks I’m just getting carried away
With lots of words from the dictionary and rhyming books
So I bid you fairwell tonight dearest friends and do not stray
From God’s calling to His chosen ones and know we are not spooks

Holy Wow! Celebrate Recovery invites Hélène Levasseur to give her Testimonial!

Holy Wow! Celebrate Recovery invites Hélène Levasseur to give her Testimonial!

I’ve been once told
My time was on hold
To become bold
So I won’t fold

Remembering Oh my
I start to cry
I don’t want to die
I start to sigh

I’m in remission
Don’t want insertion
Into chemo infusion
Understand my confusion

Not to worry
My tests will be worthy
Showing I have in my journey
Lots to accomplish everlastingly

First time in a long time
Since I’ve heard a chime
In my heart that does not rhyme
With the death do us part crime

Don’t mind me folks about it
Questioning Cancer I’m having a fit
There’s no proof yet but I’m a misfit
Thinking about this affects my spirit

You see I bled the other day
Twice this happened and what can I say
Except hello cancer you’re showing up eh
You, we all know, represent doomsday

It’s o.k. you know I’m Helene Levasseur
And won’t let this challenge damper
My joie de vivre and great manoeuvre
Of praying for dearest God to take over

Perhaps all of this is simply a false alarm
Must glide through everything with my charm
Not letting any negative thoughts swarm
Relying on our Holy Spirit who keeps me lukewarm

So here’s all of my words laid down showing upset
Enough is enough as I decide to recite a chaplet
My prayers I bring to you as a lovely floweret
Thanking you for yours towards a minaret

Many thanks indeed for reading me thus far
Never does a day go by that I yearn to be a star
According to the doctors I am a 10 year old on par
Facebook holds my journal typed on Apple my altar

I see a twinkle twinkle little star and make a wish
Help me God never to become anything sluggish
Falling apart never happened and that would be outlandish
As you know on earth I have left a lot to accomplish

The Holy Wow Poets’ Anthology 2013 was exciting
So Helene on your mark get set and go Highfaluting
Your quest to make our Club visitors’ yearning
And The Holy Wow Poets Canada never ending

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Voila!
Helene can never stop promoting a show with hoopla
It’s her trade and consumer show skills not to withdraw
Skills, talents and treasures that are not like a see-saw

If you’ve read till here you were meant to be a Poet
and you know it, come and show it and becoming fit!

162. He’s All I’ve Got © Hélène Levasseur

HELENE LEVASSEUR

In this day of pondering
I went into thus trusting
Not me but my Higher Power
Who is my Lord and Saviour

I’m looking for Brother/Sisterhood
Not seeking to be understood
But namely to simply understand
One’s calling biblically in my hand

Time has come for my “Rebirthing”
Walking away from my “Hibernating”
Like an Eagle after 40 years of living
Remakes his beak, talons and feathering

Aren’t we like birds of a feather?
Yearning to chum with that Levasseur
Only to find a new world of wonder
Bringing us into a Heavenly breather

It’s been a quarter of a century
That I’ve been in a great recovery
Of re-identifying my new identity
Taking a lot of time Slowly but Surely

In this journey many projects were created
A CD, A Book, A Poetry Club manifested
Living 90% of my life alone rehabilitated
Thus time has come for being reintegrated

A problem exists in trying to formulate in my mind
What’s my purpose when I face what is behind
God has paid my dues and my penance and amends
Must be ready to receive an abundance of holy trends

So on your mark. Get set . Go Hélène and Go girl go!
Stand straight. Shoulders Back. Move forth and glow!
“Relax qu’est sera sera what will be will be
Our future is not ours to see!”

Joel Osteen says that I have no idea of what’s to come
But in God’s glory He has a plan for me to go and overcome
The odds that have been set against me and must foresee
That in front of me awaits a global well planned destiny

Now if you’ve read me thus far you must be a Reading Star
Lo and behold know that we are facebook buddies from afar
Sometimes I’m hard to read as it appears that it’s all a jungle
Of nonending words and phrases and to decipher is a bungle

See what I mean we can’t figure out what I’m all about!
Just a human being trying to become spiritually fit with a shout
Seeking to serve God making friends, being therefore their friend
Bringing all of them to my favourite loved one Jesus my best friend.

Twenty seven years have gone like bye-byes
Having left me with a few following my demise
But without so many wailing cries
I venture out with vim that thus fortifies

Was labelled severely brain injured
My intelligence somewhat hampered
Focus & concentration was tampered
Leaving traces of being brain severed

Many semesters were in my recovery
The first one was labelled “A Tragedy”
“Trauma” was the second and very weary
Lo and behold “Triumph” has come finally

In this third decade I almost felt forbidden
The doctors did say I would remain hidden

Engrained fears obtained by simply doing nothing

At the Act Theatre I get rid of any kind of ill-will
Delving into becoming public moving forth uphill
I could leave a message that shrills people’s thrill
The audience watches one with this outstanding pill

Well of course the Pill is “Poetry!”

Poetry makes me want to believe that it’s easy to live
Surviving a Brain Injury and two Cancers so progressive
I, Hélène Levasseur, is without a doubt no captive
In remission I am forgiving as I choose to be somewhat active

The Holy Wow Poets in Maple Ridge of which I am the Founder
Organizing it for several years has been quite an adventure
Some self-published some not paint a fine delightful literary picture
Of neatly performing recitals at Poetry Clubs with lots of vigour

A visit to Poetry Bashes at Performance Works on Granville Market
Gave me a will to free poets as they bring forth their ingenious wit
Whether in outstanding prose & rhyme poetry so devoutly fit
For odd audiences showing the Lower Mainland’s Grand Spirit

Once Teacher, Secretary and Trade & Consumer Show Manager
Enabled me to go through what was destroyed only to encounter
New skills, talents and treasures encompassing that of a “Rhymester”
Seeing & Saying the sky’s never the limit for one who is a “Star Gazer”

Things will surely pass as a Tragedy is proven to be only momentary
In a coma for three weeks one becomes they say “Quite Contrary”
“Out of Balance” our “Equilibrium remains deranged or fragmentary”
It’s not our fault as everyhting we say is purposely involuntary

2017 is now here and it is my Year to have a “Benevolent Career”
Doing Poetry Shows at the Act Theatre with “Hooplah and Cheer”
Inviting the Fraser Valley folks to embark on as a “Volunteer”
Published or not poets joining to simply becoming a “Pioneer”

Holy Wow Poets invite you! So on your mark. Get set and Go!
Read “Poetry for Dummies” and compose a poem so profoundo
Show us that there is nothing that you can not undergo
Become a reknown poet in our midst producing el Manifesto

I, Hélène Levasseur, think that I’m onto “Something of Glory”
A miracle from a production re. “An International Documentary”
From “Mental Damage to Homage” so we can make this honourary
Realizing that we were all meant for quite a “Coup of Publicity!”

I’ve been waiting for “God’s pious Hooting and Cheering!”
For those who are experiencing “Suffering and Lamenting”
Time has come to embark a few of us who are still self-denying
But deeply yearning “Poetic Potential” though still hibernating

Why not embark on the greatest “Prolific Adventure”
Where a documentary endears a quest for any “Survivor”
Taking people out of their “Shell and Burrowing Shelter”
And immersing them into a “Poetry World of Wonder”

What shall we name those survivors so magnified
The new chapters in their lives are certainly gratified
Performing we all become “Seasoned and Quite Dignified”
It appears that we’re onto something “Grandly Sanctified”

We’re Holy Wow Poets as we say with quite a wide smile
Discussing matters over a cup of tea of tasty Camomile
Finaly we’re coming out of having been in a “Long Exile”
My goodness we’re here taking “A Quantum Leap Mile”

Folks do you think we have found in our midst a “Goldmine”
The “Documented Holy Route” will seem like “A Serpentine
Not to worry let’s just ponder drinking some “Port Wine”
 “No Monkeyshine!” Let’s all stand tall like “Lordly Pine!”

Reciting at the Royal City Literary Arts Society is always a pleasure
What an honour being a “Special Holy Wow Poet Feature”
Invited by the Poets who bring me forth as a new figure
For the enjoyment of unknowns without pressure

Perhaps I also called Marie Noelle Hélène will leave a “Fragrance”
Choosing a “Bitter-Sweet-Bright-Biographic Nature” with “Poetic Elegance”
Beginning a “Friendship Club” bringing some “Reconaissance”
To souls for their “Sweetheart Stage Personal Performance”

I’ve reached this “Beginning Moment” in my poetry composing
But am somewhat left with a yearning for more exposing
Did you know that I believe that I was meant for “Entertaining”
It’s been a part of me since I was just “A Teen simply Flirting”

Oh Dear I must realize that the time has come for “Fruition”
In “Baby Stages” of “Studying Poetry” we need much “Affection”
“A Rhymester” shows up and the audience never “Falls into Oblivion”
But must be careful of not scaring them through my “Poetic Passion”

Whilst reciting a number came to my mind and and I was “Smitten”
Ten minutes has gone by now and I certainly don’t want to be a Burden
Remember what the doctors had said I now prove them “Ill-Gotten”
“Alive and Well Full of Fun and Laughter – “I’m out of “Kindergarden”

So on that note let me inform you that I am full of “Excitement”
Every day that goes by I will remember this grateful “Achievement”
The Holy Wow Poets helps people reach an “Era of Encouragement”
So I leave you today with some poetry that is “Not of Bereavement”

I promise to study poetry and rehearse all of it “Godspeed!”
One of my favourite poems is our lovely “Aspostle’s Creed”
I promise to write wholeheartedly without any doubt or greed
Never forgetting the listeners while I wear some “Fancy Tweed”

I’m not into pleasing “Affluent People” but all who have an ear
It certainly appears that the time has come for me to reappear
Thank you for being “My Applauders” like I was “Shakespeare”
I leave you now and embark on my “Study of  Edward Lear!”

159. Contemplative Thoughts for 2016 © Hélène Levasseur

Photo on 13-11-20 at 4.03 PM #2

I CHOOSE TO FILL MY SENSES FEEDING MY HEART

HANGING ON TO THE BEAUTIFUL SCENE OF THE FOREST

AND NOT FOCUSING ON THE INDIVIDUAL TREES THERE

TIME WORRYING ABOUT THINGS I WILL NOT LET HAPPEN

BECAUSE I AM GROWING GARDENS IN MY PRECIOUS SOUL

NOT SPENDING NEEDLESS HOURS EXPECTING THINGS

WILL VERITABLY CHANGE MY THOUGHTS ON ACCEPTING THEM 

IT IS TIME TO PONDER AND CONTEMPLATE ON THE NEW

INSTEAD OF SIMMERING THINGS OF UNIMPORTANCE OF THE OLD

I NOW PRAY ABOUT LOVING FROM MY HEART, SOUL AND MIND

ERASING MY SELF TO REPLACE THE ORIGIN OF MY THOUGHTS

BECOMING INTIMATE WITH THE WORLD AT LARGE WHOLEAHEARTEDLY

AS WE KNOW WHATEVER WE RESIST EXISTS AND CONTINUES TO PERSIST

I NOW REFOCUS ON MY NEW IMAGE AND LET GO OF THE OLD

BREAKING FREE FROM PAST HURTS, HANGUPS AND HABITS

ACTING WITH LOVE, JOY, PEACE, FORBEARANCE, FAITHFULNESS

KINDNESS, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS AND SELF CONTROL

ALLOWS GOD ‘S SPIRIT TO DIRECT AND GUIDE ME IN 2016

AS I BEGIN THIS YEAR BY NOT LETTING PEOPLE LURE ME

INTO THEIR STORMS BUT WILL LURE THEM INTO MY PEACE

IMMERSED IN GOD’S LOVE FOR ALL OF HIS CREATION.

 I LOVE YOU!

158. Visions of Ms. Debonair © Hélène Levasseur

Visions of Ms. DebonairArtist: Roxanne Keasberry

In 2017 comes quite a lady and they call her Ms. Debonair
The news proclaim that she is très très extraordinaire
Very often she seems to walk boldly with her nose up in the air
Perhaps thinking that she carries a lot of engrained savoir-faire

Renown is she for being able to write with a poetic flair
No one can embark on her journey even if you dare
Some people revere her as the 3rd Millennium Visionaire
Believe it or not she sings for all of mankind’s welfare

She could have been a millionaire or even a zillionaire
We trust that perhaps one day she will be called a legionnaire
Not a day goes by that she doesn’t pray for God’s repair
Thanking Him for the cleansing of her addiction to Vanity Fair

For 27 years she has been under what is called Medicare
Her restful prayer of miracles she would like to share
Believing this will be told by a journalist who is her confrère
Eric Green a computer wizard is looking after her affair

Ms. Debonair makes announcement that she will soon declare
That she no longer is co-dependent on any foods like an Éclair
Cause this she has learned puts inches on her derrière
She got tired of her body looking like that a pretty big pear

Wearing a fancy dress and a fear free hat for this Affair
Plumed all around it shows her that she is indeed Première
Her life in the last two decades was a rough avant-garde Fair
But not to worry folks she speaks boldly and foursquare

Writing her music certainly does not depict her endless misère
Lo and behold she has proven that she can compare
Her life’s struggles and tribulations to that of a nightmare
Her life once was labeled as one of endless despair.

It’s amazing that she never started or wished to swear
Her love of God is too precious and brings her to stare
Going deep in her heart as she recognizes a Christian Software
It’s believed that it lovingly makes her one “Chargée D’affaires!

Her mission is to look after everyone’s thoroughfare
Bringing them to God’s Pearly Gate’s Bright Lumière
“Baby’s Back well now dressed in Black ready to spare
Her path with ours whether we’re here, there or anywhere

Long lives the lovely Ms. Debonair
Many thanks for making us aware
That it’s time to come forth and prepare
For Heaven becoming righteous here, there and everywhere.

HELENE LEVASSEUR
Let’s discover Heaven’s Third Eyed Hélène
Celestial, Mystical and esoteric wren
Her speculative inquisitive invisible eye
Provides perceptions of a world so wise

Spiritually she examines everything about herself
Leading to inner realms of ancient consciousness
A state of Enlightenment and universal imagery
Having deep personal spirituality and philosophy

She now enters a quarter of a Century
Associated with religious visions
Clairvoyance and ability to perceive
Life with magnificent significance

Hélène could be labelled as a “seer”
Having not worked for a quarter of a century
Having examined her inner works and experiences
Some claim she has the capacity to read internally

Lo and behold her ladies and gentlemen…
Let’s Listen to her ethereal dimension…
As we become healthy and holy…

HELENE LEVASSEUR
HÉLÈNE WAS LIVING IN A FOG ALL CHOKED UP IN A SMOG
LOST LIKE A POLLYWOG THAT’S STUCK ON A LOG
IN A POLLUTED BOG FEELING LIKE AN UNDERDOG
SHE’S NOW WAYFAIRING WOUNDED WONDROUSLY.

SHE PRAYED TO BE FREE FROM THIS CALAMITY
IMMERSED IN MISERY CRAVING FOR HARMONY
WHOLEHEARTEDLY SHE MET DIVINITY
SHE’S NOW WAYFAIRING WOUNDED WONDROUSLY.

WHAT CAME WAS PROPHECY SPOKEN ELOQUENTLY
SHE BEGAN BIBLIOMANCY YEARNING TO BE HOLY
SHE STARTED TO SEE PEOPLE HEAVENLY
SHE’S NOW WAYFAIRING WOUNDED WONDROUSLY.

SOME HEAR A MAESTRO KEENLY TUNING HER SOUL
WITH UNIVERSAL RESONANCE
AS SHE’S AN EMINENT COMPOSER
IN HER SYMPHONY WITH GOD
HER MUSIC NEVER RUNS MAINSTREAM.

SHE CHALLENGES REALITY AND DENIALITY
OH SO TENDERLY WITH SUCH ABILITY
SHE SPEAKS SO SOFTLY AND UNDERSTANDS HUMANITY
SHE SEES GOD’S GRACES FOR ETERNITY

HÉLÈNE STEERS WELL BY GOD’S CHART
HIS WAY’S A PIECE OF ART
SHE LISTENS WITH HER HEART AND HEARS MOZART
AS SHE COMPOSES HER START WHERE SHE PLAYS HER PART.

SHE’S NOW WAYFAIRING RECITING SINGING MAJESTICALLY
PERFORMING AT POETIC JUSTICE SIMPLY NATURALLY
