UPLIFTING POETRY

by Dr. Leo Rebello


Poetry is the language of the soul. It uplifts the reader to higher level of meditative states. If poetry is accompanied by lilting music, then listeners experience subliminal bliss and communion with the universal mind which is perfect.


Only a great person with a man's brain, a woman's heart, a child's purity and Awakened Consciousness can write good poetry.


We had a teacher who taught us Sanskrit through slokas and laid the foundation for study of poetry, philosophy of life and wisdom of the universe.


Poetry, as compared to prose, is marvelously evocative, full of depth, rich in texture and complexity, startling in its revelations and warm and throbbing with life. The poems of great poets exude warmth of love, embody sparks of societal unrest and goad the readers to a plan of action. Hence, Poet is called an unaknowledged legislator of mankind.

The best examples of uplifting poetry are "Prayer for Peace" by St. Francis of Assisi, or "Don't Quit" by Anon, which have inspired millions from emotional abyss. Poetry lovers will also remember "The Impossible Dream" from La Mancha (Musical).

Like reverse osmosis, a method of extracting essentially pure, fresh water from salt water, Poetry brings out purity within you, by removing the pollution from your body, mind and the spirit. Poetry like meditation helps one to reminisce, retrace, re-vest, refresh and renew oneself.


In conclusion, poetry is an instrument of love and understanding, peace and harmony, hope and faith and all that is good and perfect.

Lazy insecurity is scraping about
and three reasons may stand for

1) Suppositions are likely to be no cancelable
for production of char-coal at the case
: Wood gets fire
In exact , fire is imposed

2) The currency I have to have are counterfeited notes, or
patchworked, are not always jobless as in my pocket

3) Love for me does not whisper plus fifteen days
because char-coal formatting process, usage of char-coal past as fuel
to resolve the stack
Is not the right equation

Be as it

Any successive immortal efficacy
pleasure by moving blades of unhurt fan
Dyspepsia of any letters of the alphabet unabated
the settlement causes to hypotensual nondomatism
All worthygames or strugles are pretextual distortion
I want to escape from
Dyspepsia of any letters of the alphabet unabated
the settlement causes to hypotensual nondomatism

Poems are not always poetry sometimes the proposal
