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!

180. Skiing at Christmas © Hélène Levasseur

Every skier is full of tremendous glee
The mountains are snow covered
The aid sportsmen are exhilarated
Preparing for their shopping spree

It’s Christmas and they have a list
New skiing equipment is mandatory
Must keep up with the Jones’ Theory
Thanks mom for being such a loyalist

Whistler and Blackcomb are perfect
What a wonderful season for an episode
Of endearing friends scheduled for a social setup
Amongst devoted skiers on sites made for the elect

It’s good to know this sport is not just for the rich
Thank God that cross country skiing exists for us
People sharing their snowy land for realists
Great health and wealth to us does enrich

In need of God’s divine repair
Desolate but not in despair
I pray because I do sincerely care
About all of mankind’s welfare

Remaining in a state of joy & harmony
Though life brings me some agony
It’s the simple every day trials’ cacophony
That I must endure with simplicity

The earth is our school of learning
It is how we respond to its teaching
That deciphers our well being
And strengthens us without failing

The moral of this story is ordinary
Let go and let God take our worry
And soon we realize that we are trustworthy
In Him being our so beloved Sovereignty

Don’t mind me folks I’m just passing time
Feeling that my life right now is not sublime
I thank you for reading me at your bedtime
Writing poetry you probably know is my pastime

159. Contemplative Thoughts for 2016 © Hélène Levasseur

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!

122. Listening Prayers in a Resting Place © Hélène Levasseur

When we can’t get enough of living
It brings us all into new heights
Thus overcoming trials and tribulations
That are a major part of our life

On earth we are at various levels
Like in a flight of serious training
We know that we are carried forth
With an abundance of learning

It is important to take it upon ourselves
To think nothing, say nothing, do nothing
As slowly we contribute to our well-being
In a state of spiritual intellectual growth

It is through this process of meditation
We develop lovely listening prayers
Suddenly and silently we pray hearing
A voice like ours and yet so divine

In the recesses of our minds we know
Possibilities of mending are endless
We are finally conversing with God
And half hysterical we are giggling

We can now move forth quite intact
Reciting prayers exuberantly exact
Amazing things start happening
We are living in a new dimension

Long lives this prayerful Resting Place!
