190. A Week Before Christmas © Hélène Levasseur

Hey it’s already a Week before Christmas
And all through the quickly moving hours
Our thinking starts being of us all and our joy
Preparing our beautiful and glorious Festivities
Beginning by planning to go to Midnight Mass
Orchestrating a “Réveillons” chez nous or vous
Gifts will be certainly exchanged and endeared
And good old Christmas songs and jigs galore
Definitely will be sung through the day and night
Family and friends thus will be uniting gleefully
Sharing our love with gentle hugs and kisses
Even traditional pecks on both of our cheeks
Giggling and laughing hysterically as always
Creating jokes about our time past and even before
Then making genuine resolutions for the New Year
Ascertaining a Joyful and Merry Christmas
As we review yesterdays in all of our sincerity
We will make changes for what is forthcoming
This is not the end of our time as we are eager
To experience the beginning of a delightful
Series of quests of dreams and aspirations
And manifestations showing our true love
For our Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent
God Almighty Father who undoubtedly did send us
His Son Jesus Christ as our Redeemer and Saviour
Who we are celebrating honourably praising his birth
His Emmanuel also the Holy Spirit He indeed promised
Who dwells in our Hearts and entourages delightfully
Proclaiming to the world that we will consciously
Start immediately serving instead of selfing
A coup like no other in the 3rd Millennium
What a beautiful Christmas Gift of Hope
To God’s Creation sharing this to one another.
As it is really beginning in our Christmas week
And imagine it being manifested in this Era
“Holy Wow We praise Him proclaiming it – Amen!

181. On the Moment Thoughts © Hélène Levasseur

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Uplifting well wishes have come
We no longer feel so worrisome
Prayers galore folks we always adore
As we feel them and want more
Let’s promise to respond likewise
When we have no tears found in our eyes
Sensing joy, peace and harmony
Brings us into a state of Christmas glee
So on our mark, get set and let go
And let God take over our sorrow
It’s as simple as One – Two – Three
Immediately and carefully we’re set free
Of any silly willy burdens and fears
Knowing that we are His beloved dears
Love and Joy is in the Christmas Air
Perhaps nippy and freezy but it is fair
God works in mysterious ways
We then see clearly as there is no haze
When our plans are all of a sudden changed
It’s obvious God’s got a better One arranged
It is believed that our life is grandly theatrical
And perhaps mystical and somewhat musical
Preparing our souls, mind and spirit is a pre-requisite
To reach heaven’s higher heights and folks that is it!

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

179. Tis Mid December Weather © Hélène Levasseur

Is it nippy?
Is it rainy?
Is it snowy?
Is it frosty?
Is it icy?
Is it slippery?

Well if you’ve answered yes
Put on a bit of everything
Dress up cozy and warmly
Slip into your winter boots
Your tuque and winter coat
Don’t forget your umbrella folks!

Oh dear remember your scarf
Bring for sure winter gloves
Wear your favourite leggings
Warm up the car before you go
Buy some halls just in case

Tis’ mid December weather
Winters just around the corner!

176. Just wondering © Hélène Levasseur

Just wondering! To you is Hélène a Pest
Well maybe she’s trying to be her best
As she had to recreate a new identity
Reformulating her old personality

Her love and devotion to God
To many has perhaps seemed odd
She’s the first to admit that she’s a sinner
In need of God who is her Divine Repairer

Unafraid we must move gallantly and believe
That new ways we are meant to perceive
As Faith accompanies us as a given gift
Lo and behold in no time we stop to drift

Submerging from Our ego, pride and vanity
Comes a world of simplicity, humility and integrity
Awakening to the presence of Him sent = Yes Jesus
Realizing that he knocks and he awaits for all of us

Traumatically brain injured and Cancer Survivor
Her 175 poems written show thanks to her Saviour
Everyone knows that Hélène is/was lost and forlorn
But great news happened as she became reborn

Her style is to teach somewhat and not preach
Done through poetry and music tasty like a peach
Perhaps one day Her Slow but Sure Balancing Act
Will tell her story like it is as a matter of truthful fact

She has nothing to hide and not even what is dirt
She grows in quantum leaps seeking all like a flirt
So let us pray that we are not too condescending of her
“I do what I can” is a motto for Helene Levasseur

174. Just Pondering © Hélène Levasseur

Enlightened Hélène Just Pondering!

There’s me and my light
Alone in thoughts and prayer
Always ready to divulge it all
Reminiscing not chagrining
Knowing that I am set free
And with God feeling full of glee

The ones of the same cloth
I believe are forthcoming one day
They must be as they are in my index
For my future and theirs too = Heaven
Teachers and Learners like me
Are given quite a remarkable destiny

Honouring others is my remedy
Listening more than sharing my stuff
As they are in need of a helping hand
I will become their trustworthy psychiatrist
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Where I pray unceasingly without talking

Voila! Mes Amis! On a Mission!

173. Prosaic and a little Poetic © Hélène 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

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

169. Time for Contrition © Hélène Levasseur

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

168. Labelled Metastatic Cancer © Hélène Levasseur

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!

155. Heaven’s Third Eye Hélène © Hélène 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…

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

Who? What? Where? When? Why? Which? and How?
The Holy Wowers before, during and after produce
A Holy Wow Poetry Show with applause to ascertain always
An ongoing invigorating recital like no other which is is our Wish.

Frequently Holy Wow Poets show amazing skills
Giving meaning to the audiences ever growing
Always yearning to return monthly to review
The new, the old, the junior and the senior poets

Not knowing poetry let us invest in Poetry for Dummies
Becoming knowledgeable in the existence of man’s gifts
This Art has been roaming the earth for thousands of years
And has never failed to touch, move and inspire souls galore

All things in this world are somewhat poetic in nature
According to our beliefs or disbeliefs we compose wonders
With moral and spiritual perfection we convey Holy Wows
Expressing and connecting our works to dedicated listeners

Thanks for coming to critique the Holy Wow Poets earnestly
Our goals and ambitions are simply to become reknown poets
Locally, Provincially and Nationally having fun and laughter
We theatrically as amateurs and/or published perform monthly

So on your Mark. Get set. Now go as we make our Mark
By helping others make theirs with our sincere applauses
Meant to produce a Holy Wow Poetry Show at the Act Theatre
The Lobby there for years have been our Practicum Folks

TSOS Scrubbing Institute Master

Well I must say that my Lovie Dovie Hubby is a Keeper
We named our new Abode “Silver Sage” because
We have silver hair and are very very sage
My husband is our House Engineer Wonder

He is known as Robert but I call him Bob
A true Jack of all Trades being a Master of such
There is nothing that he can not do if he wishes
I think he’s quite an Expert in almost everything

Over the last twenty three years in my recovery
He became Silver Sage’s BobbyMaid
Ruling the Household like a Champion
In our abode he shines like a Scholar

My Bob’s a Mechanic and a Carpenter
Not only that but he’s a Landscaper
And also an experienced Plumber
A meticulous Financial Advistor too

Lo and behold he’s quite a good Speaker
With much confidence and “savoir faire”
A Connaisseur in Automotive Management
His 1968 Camaro keeps him busy in his retirement

I think that my Hubby though sometimes grumpy
Is a keeper and pray that our life together
Will flourish with an abundance of love
And intimacy forever and ever and ever…
