Trina Graves  1961
Spiritual poet & quote anthologist

As I compiled the nature quotes page I wondered if I had written enough poems about nature to do a separate page. I remembered a few I'd written that would suit, but I was amazed when I went through my poems to find I had forty four to share!

Poems About Nature:
A Field Of Dandelions 

Quote Title: When you look at a field of dandelions,
you can either see 100 weeds or 100 wishes
Unknown

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

When you look at a field of dandelions
What are the thoughts in your head
Is it overflowing with terrible weeds
Or blessed with abundance instead?

Do you pluck a single dandelion
Not wanting it in your lawn
Or become engrossed in its beauty
Especially the seed head adorn

The delicate, intricate pattern
Of a dandelion perfect seed head
Can literally take your breath away
Of be blown my a child instead

Children love to make their wishes
As they blow the seeds into flight
To them it’s a delightful flower
No pesky weed is in their sight

All the parts of this little plant
The deep root, leaves and flower
Have many medicinal properties
And beneficial nutritious power

A source of food for the bees
As Spring comes into view
One of nature’s greatest essentials
Bees are a blessing, it’s so true

For me the dandelion seed head
Represents my beginning of awe
At the abundance of nature’s blessings
As my first nature photos I recall

So what is it you choose to see
100 wishes or 100 weeds?
By seeing with the eyes of a child
Your Spirit raises as simple truth exceeds

Poems About Nature:
A Rose Can Live Among The Thorns 

Quote Title:  A Rose Can Live Among The Thorns
And Yet Never Be Injured By Them
Unknown

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

A rose is pure beyond compare
Its fragrance floating in the air
Delicately soft, colour supreme
A Joy to behold whenever seen

Yet closely by are many a thorn
Sharp, destructive, everything torn
That touches on its razor tip
Be careful or we soon will rip

Never-the-less we Love the rose
Its Heavenly beauty juxtapose
To the thorn, the contrast stands
Clearly evident throughout our lands

We can learn from this flower
A Higher meaning to give us power
Heaven on Earth is here to see
When we focus on beauty clearly

There will always be thorns around
Tearing, gripping, taking Hearts to the ground
People, the media, elite powers, dreadful deeds
Cut through with all the negativity it feeds

But we can live among the thorns always
And let them be, purity in forgiveness stays
We blossom and grow in beauty and Joy
If our discerning perception we do employ

So live your beauty, Heaven scent
Colour your days, life is meant
To be a gift from a Higher Power
Be a rose, God’s precious flower

Poems About Nature:
Adopt The Pace Of Nature,
Her Secret Is Patience 

Quote Title: Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Nature’s secrets are incredibly inspiring and bountiful
Life lessons are learnt that are not taught in school
Walking in Mother Nature, God’s natural Kingdom
With Awareness, will bring you insightful wisdom

Her efflorescence beauty is shown everywhere
Even in the depth of winter when much lies bare
There’s always splendour and miracles to view
When with your Soul Eyes, you choose to look through

In winter when all the leaves fall from a tree
The intricate branches are visible for scrutiny
Extending onwards and upwards into the sky
As we expand our consciousness up so high

Then spring arrives to enliven and lighten our days
Nature manifests its perfection in numerous ways
Beautifully delicate, pure blossoms flourish for a while
Showing us to appreciate NOW, then let go with a smile

Summer bestows nature’s miraculous abundance
Flowers overwhelming beauty give more evidence
Of the variety of life, it’s shapes, colours and size
Everyone is just perfect in God’s All-Knowing Eyes

Summer turns to autumn, or as some say fall
Change is in the air and nature heeds the call
Leaves burst into colour, then wither and die
As do all human beings, including you and I

The cycle is complete, a year has come and gone
Nature will eternally repeat it’s wondrous song
Teaching us through Awareness, year after year
If we are Open to it’s wisdom, and ready to hear

All this is provided at a sure and steady pace
Nature is perfect, there’s never a need to race
Everything is accomplished, in a time of her own
Nature’s secret is Patience, to us she has shown

Poems About Nature:
Aims For Life 

In 1993, after my first time meditating I felt the need to write these words.

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Time is precious…
Do not waste it.

Love is the most important possession…
Posses it, Feel it, Give it to all.

Look after your mind…
Use it often by studying and continual learning.

Look after your body…
Work it regularly and feed it healthily.

Look after your Soul…
Meditate, Pray, Develop.

Help others whenever you can.

Cherish this world…
And all living things on it.

Be happy – Enjoy your life.

Poems About Nature:
Backpacking In Paradise 

They have gone alone on a journey
To the most exotic faraway land
They’ll see crystal clear, vast seas
As they walk along soft, golden sand

They can explore dense areas of forest
Abundant with magnificent plants and trees
Or stroll through a quaint picturesque village
Basking in the sights, and the pleasant breeze

They might be feeling adventurous
And go climbing to majestic mountain tops
The view will be spectacularly awesome
Surrounded by the beauty that never stops

They might just want to sit and chat
Catching-up with a friend they have missed
Or, once again feel the Loving embrace
Of a Beloved, and be Joyfully kissed

With no limits of health to stop them
And absolutely no chance of difficulty
They can do anything they desire or wish
Being their true selves and ultimately free

They took all they needed with them
Backpacking, they didn’t need much
Off-the-grid, but I don’t need to worry
As it seems, they may not keep in touch

I will Lovingly think of them often, but continue
With my own life, knowing each and every day
They are experiencing an awesome adventure
Now young at Heart, they can relax and play

One day I will put on my backpack
Filled with all my experiences and Love
And I too will take the final journey
We will be re-united in Paradise above

Poems About Nature:
Difficult Roads Lead To Beautiful Destinations 

Quote Title: Unknown

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

In life we all walk roads
That are difficult to us
Individual in our perceptions
To others, may cause no fuss

Thought’s, beliefs, attitudes
All create our reality
We are all on a journey
Here on Earth to ‘BE’

Death, illness, lack
Are dreaded paths out there
All walked a little easier
With companions who care

In time we can look back
And see a different view
Especially from Higher ground
Wisdom can come through

Through difficulty we grow
Adding more to our Soul
Experiences to enrich
Enlightenment our goal

Walking difficult paths
Gives us true insight
To help others along
Who face the same plight

Being there for others
Is a wonderful place to be
Giving, sharing, caring
From the Heart, pure beauty

*********

And now we’re in a time
With extreme roads to face
Not just for some here and there
But for the whole human race

The pandemic and the control
With all its confusing twists and turns
Censorship and created divisions
The great forest ahead of us burns!

We know we have to walk
Through the forest of fire
Will we make it through
As the flames grow ever higher?

Thought’s, beliefs, attitudes
All create our reality
We are all on a journey
Here on Earth to ‘BE’

We came Knowing of this road
It was our destiny of free-choice
To be here at this momentous time
Would we cower or loudly rejoice?

The flames can do no harm
They’re a mirage, not our fate
If we Know of God within us
BEing Love always, never hate

We can walk this road together
Unity Consciousness is our shield
Not much further to travel
Humanity will truly be healed

Many on the road ahead
Have faced the darkest parts
Their Light now guiding lamps
Lit with their Compassionate Hearts

At last we’ll see the true map
Of all roads, hidden and known
The darkness will be no more
The Light has exponentially grown

Thought’s, beliefs, attitudes
All create our reality
We are all on a journey
Here on Earth to ‘BE’

Be the Light you are
Boldly striding along
Believe Unconditional Love
Will overpower all the wrong

Have a Positive Attitude
As you pass the mires and bogs
With Compassion in your Heart
You’ll leap over all the fallen logs

Loving thoughts, beliefs, attitudes
Will create our New Reality
United we’ll reach our destination
Our New Earth of Divine Beauty

Poems About Nature:
Difficult Times Sow Seeds Of Future Wisdom

Life has many difficult times
No one can escape scot-free
Life is full of ups and downs
All of a varying degree

How we cope and get through
The most difficult of days
Will depend on our belief
And where our attitude lays

Everyone feels negativity
It’s darkness can suffocate
But we all have an inner Light
Just a flicker can illuminate

Never ‘feeling’ a victim
Will help enormously
Not accepting this label
Gives strength exponentially

Making a conscious intent
To look for a brighter side
Can make all the difference
Even if a Loved one has died

Death, illness, poverty
Breakup, job loss, stress
Everyday experiences of life
Some we all have to address

From a Higher Perspective
It is easier to see how
Each step in life we take
Resonates in the Now

The ‘Storm’ will always pass
No storm can last forever
Sheltering in Divine Love
Protects from any ‘weather’

And when the storm has passed
With brighter, colourful skies ahead
We can begin to see the truth flowers
From seeds planted through our dread

For in difficult times we plant
Seeds of Wisdom and Understanding
Scattered into our future
Not knowing they are landing

To blossom when we are ready
Being open to see the view
Connecting all of the wisdom
As in Consciousness we grew

*****

For the majority on Earth
Right now, there is great difficulty
So many are living in a fear
Gripping tight on humanity

Whether it’s from the virus
Or the silent Spiritual war
Fear has taken a hold
Encouraged by media’s encore

‘When will it be ‘safe’
‘When will we be ‘free’
To live our ‘normal’ life
Just as we used to be?

In this unprecedented time
Awakening seeds are being planted
For humanity’s future understanding
Nothing should be taken for granted

Some are magical seeds
Growing straight away
Opening people’s minds
To clearly see the way

Other seeds will grow
As the manure is thickly spread
Watered by the many tears
Shed through difficult days ahead

Many who negate the ‘news’
Planted seeds decades ago
And now in this crazy world
Time has passed for trees to grow

Branching in all directions
Rooted deep in Mother Gaia
Truth is found connecting within
And consciousness raises Higher

Many will need these trees to shelter
As the devastating truths come out
All must be seen, to then be cleared
Leaving no evidence of any doubt

We are creating, growing a New Earth
Through this extremely difficult phase
Every day more people realise this truth
As their seedlings begin to raise

A Divinely beautiful planet of Love
With no controlling people of power
Is where we are all heading
Knowing we are the only allower

Poems About Nature:
Drawn To The Sea

My Vision: 3rd February 2019

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Visiting Jesus, a vision in my mind
Only recently back then, did I find
His true identity revealed at last
Connecting many dots of my past

I’d visited just once since that day
‘Stained Glass Poems’ explains the way
Now I wanted more confirmation
And a hopefully some inspiration

Giving no thought to where we’d meet
We were walking by the sea, barefeet
I felt at ease and wondered why
I didn’t feel in awe or at all shy

With no words He then told me how
The time was right, I’m ready now
My vibration raised, now we’d talk
With more significance, as we walk

I asked why so many people, like me
Are drawn so often to be at the sea
Looking out at the beautiful scene
He told of hidden depths, unseen

The vast expanse, a precious part
Of Mother Earth, right from the start
Water, so essential to all living health
Magnificent oceans.. abundant wealth

Teeming with life of every size
Largest mammal or too small for eyes
Unfathomable, mysterious, tides that turn
From whales and dolphins we can learn

Pulsating waves forever flow
Balance, give and take, they show
Wisdom evident and pure beauty
Fresh and alive, our vibrant sea

Land and sea, two domains
Duality on our Earth remains
Senses enlivened when we are near
The air is different, is so clear

Winds of the sea blow away
Doubts and fears, as we stay
Near the shore, there to be
With the elements, in harmony

A powerful magnet with the sun
People flock to relax, be at One
With these mighty attributes of Earth
A sense of wonder and true worth

A chance for people to get away
Clear their minds and be at play
No matter what age, most will be
Happy and content when by the sea

Poems About Nature:
Everything That Has A Beginning Has An End

Quote Title: Buddha
Everything That Has A Beginning Has An End
Make Your Peace With That, And All Will Be Well

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

We all love enchanting, captivating stories
From very young children, to the old
Reading stories uses our imagination
We’re engrossed in how they will unfold
Books can be just a few short pages
Or go on for a whole series that offer more
But all stories have a beginning and an end
The pleasure they make is what we read them for

Films and TV series capture our attention
As we sink into and establish the plot
Our senses are bombarded with emotions
Through characters, music and the scenery shot
A film lasts for a short time, only an hour or two
A complete series can go on for a year or more
But all films and series have a beginning and an end
The emotions evoked are what we watch them for

Some people enjoy enhancing nature
Planting various seeds into a flower-pot
They nurture and appreciate the beauty
Whether a lavender bush or forget-me-not
Flowers develop wondrous hues and fragrance
Scattering their elegance in gardens and more
But all flowers have a beginning and an end
Their pure beauty is what we grow them for

One of nature’s incredible, bountiful joys
Is the variety of trees that grow everywhere
Their magnificence and majestic presence
Is enhanced with the lessons they share
Strength, flexibility, change, importance of roots
They give us oxygen and so much more
But all trees have a beginning and an end
Vital life-enhancement is what we need them for

Over our lives most of us share some time
With a pet who becomes a family friend
It doesn’t matter what the animal type
It’s the faithful Love that they can send
Companionship, loyalty, non-judgement
Whatever we share, they give so much more
But all animals have a beginning and an end
Their companionship is what we adore them for

And so we come to the point of these words
The hardest experience one day we all must face
When our nearest and dearest Loved ones pass
Will we be able to abide it with good grace?

The simple, pure beauty of our family and friends
We enrich our lives together, with the pleasures we make
Our Love and companionship is vital life-enhancement
As the emotions invoked bring our Hearts and Souls Awake

“Everything That Has A Beginning Has An End
Make Your Peace With That And All Will Be Well”
The Buddha’s words are an essential principle of life
To enable us, when the time comes to say: ‘Farewell’

Poems About Nature:
Flowers Are Words That Even A Baby Can Understand

Quote Title: Arthur C. Coxe

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

The basis of everything is vibration
In this wonderful world of ours
All the people, all physical objects
All of nature including its flowers

Everything in life we experience
In each and every single day
We identify through our senses
There truly is no other way

The five basic senses of hearing
Sight, taste, touch and smell
Are the ones we are taught to use
And they do serve us quite well

It’s the vibrational frequencies
Our organs transmit to our brain
The world around us we distinguish
But what does it really contain?

Science in the past has always
Used physicality as a proof
If you can’t see something’s there
How can it be real or the truth?

Today the atom can be viewed
To see what there is inside
They’ve found just empty space
Now the truth just cannot hide

But the most astonishing discovery
Science has made in more recent years
Is that the observer changes the outcome
Everything alters as perception interferes

Science and Spirituality are merging
Whichever way you look, you will find
It is all about the Energy and Vibration
Of how we perceive and are aligned

We all have another sense, the sixth
Though many chose to ignore or forget
The importance of sensing energy
It’s been the most misunderstood yet

We all have this sense to use
From the moment of our birth
We use the energy around us
For all our years on this Earth

Some people can use this sense
So much easier than the rest
They always trust their intuition
Not having to put it to the test

Whatever we may do in this life
Begins with a simple thought
Created by what’s around us
From the vibrations we import

Thoughts usually turn to words
As we convey our desires and express
Through the way we have learned
But, have we really progressed?

A baby understands so much more
Than we could ever truly know
They are aligned with vibrations
That to them so easily flow

If you’ve ever held a baby
When you’re in a bad mood
You know they’ll pick up on that
And either cry or be subdued

All babies come into our world
With so much Love and wisdom to share
They’re pure Spirits, aligned with Source
And can teach us how to be Aware

Poems About Nature:
Footprints Of Light

My Vision: 3rd February 2019

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

I walked with my friend Jesus beside the sea
Knowing that with me He would always be
I was on the damp, dense sand of the Earth
He on soft, light and golden, with me since birth

We turned to look at the footprints we’d made
But only one set could I see out there laid
Weaving in and out of the waves of the sea
At various depths were the footprints of me

I recalled and went to a time in my past
Heavy-Hearted, my feet sinking fast
Into the sea of life I’d gone too deep
But near to me Jesus would always keep

Looking back at our footprints I now saw
Rays of Light I did not notice there before
Straight and True, His prints were of The Light
A way to Be, His Loving Path shined so bright

Then I noticed the more delicate steps of mine
Were as I moved closer, and I did combine
My own Path with the Light of His Way
On soft, golden sands with Him, I now stay

One more lesson His Footprints came to tell
Gratitude to Mother Earth, and to keep her well
He left no imprint, only Blessings of Light
My Inner Being knows this vision to be right

Poems About Nature:
Gaia Is No Victim

Gaia is no victim
She allows all we have done
Our Mother Earth, ever giving
To her children, barring none

She nurtures us all our lives
In all her abundance she gives
Supporting our every breath
Without her, no one lives

The indigenous tribes were wise
Living in harmony with the Earth
They held Sacred Knowledge
Linking their existence with her worth

The assault of modern man
Has caused much damage everywhere
Lost in the duality, no sense
To feel, or even care

Polluting her bloodstream
Clogging her rivers that run
Over her changing landscapes
Since the industrial age begun

Digging, drilling, plunging
Deep into her core
Taking, never giving
Man wants more, and more

Dumping waste in her seas
Ships left in her depths to rot
Destroying life in her oceans
Man rules and calls the shot

Her Higher Energy Beings
Were hunted for many a year
The whales and the dolphins
Continued to disappear

Gaia’s highest points, pinnacles
Are pristine mountains no more
Littered with man’s waste, and bodies
With ‘summit fever’ they pour

The pores of her land
Are sealed up more each day
Covered in tarmac and concrete
For the ease of man to convey

Her lungs are destroyed
At an ever-increasing, alarming rate
The trees of woods and forests
Man is creating his own fate

It’s sheer madness carried out
In the pursuit of material things
With no thought of the future
Or the truest wealth nature brings

To keep balance Gaia has to release
Energies from her core
Volcanoes erupt, earthquakes shake
Tsunamis flood her shore

The elements help to balance
Her landscapes and the sky
Wind, ice, rain, fire, sun
Work to keep her energy high

In more recent generations
Humans began to open their eye
To the damage they’d done
‘Heal The World,’ came the cry

‘Global Warming,’ a threat
Caught the media’s attention
Generating drama and crisis
The Spiritual aspect?… no mention

I repeat.. Gaia is no victim
She allows all we have done
Our Mother Earth, ever giving
To her children, baring none

Gaia could destroy us
In a blink, if that was her way
But she chose to be a part
Of the duality we’d all play

A Spiritual Being herself
Supported by the Source-Of-All
She chose to be our ‘Mother’
However far we’d fall

She had faith one day we’d know
The truth of simple Unity
What we do to anything
Is reflected in what we see

Everything on the Earth
Whether we perceive ‘living’ or not
Is truly a part of us
Indeed, we do ‘call the shot!’

The scenario of Global Warming
Brought awareness to our plight
Be we don’t need a media band-wagon
To do what is simply right

In the peace of our own Heart
We need to light up our Spark
Giving our Light to every footstep
We can erase all the dark

Each of us living with Respect
Honour, Compassion, Forgiveness, Love
We will Bless our precious Mother
Cleansing her depths, and up above

Poems About Nature:
Gaia’s Release

My Vision: 20th June 2019

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Four months had passed
Since my last little visit
In my mind a visualization
With Jesus, I now admit

At Dorchester Abbey we’d met
Several times over this year
But that place just didn’t fit
Where now would He appear?

I thought of all the places
We’d met before, in the past
A beach, woods, mountains
But no vision was cast

My very own back garden
Then came to my attention
That’s silly, I thought
Not even worth a mention

But my garden wouldn’t go
It kept returning to my mind
So I knew it must be
And wondered what I’d find

As I stepped into the garden
I saw Jesus standing there
Smiling, patiently waiting
Among my flowers everywhere

I approached and greeted Him
As the Loving friend I knew
Then I was astonished to see
Someone else was with Him too

We were overjoyed to meet
And hugged each other tight
Amira, my friend in cyberspace
We’d slotted together, just right

For a year now we’ve been
Synchronistically linked to each other
Sharing, with so much in common
Brought together, I believe, by her mother

We’ve both expanded and grown
Spiritually, we are Aligned
Connecting through messages
Typed, but, also by mind

As we hugged in my garden
I saw us as two little girls
Victorian sisters in a past life
Long dresses and flowing curls

Happily skipping, hand-in-hand
Very close, not just in years
I had an inner knowing we died
Still young, but shed no tears

I also got the impression
Jesus and Amira were old friends
Relaxed, all together now
Time miraculously blends

Jesus then took our hands
We were at the Pyramids instantly
In Egypt, we watched in awe
As a Light Show we did see

Pouring into the pyramids
Were dazzling colours of Light
From the majestic Cosmos
All flowing, the time was right

Then we were at Stonehenge
To see the same, once more
As The Light cascaded in
A Gateway to Gaia’s core

No words were spoken
We knew what was happening
Source Energy charging up
Mother Earth to healing bring

Gateways across the Earth
Were receiving the Purest Light
Setting in motion the plan
To release Gaia from Her plight

Then we saw Mother Earth
Opening up her innumerous pores
To release the blockages sunk
By humans neglect and wars

Millennia of negativity borne
By Gaia to support man
Now’s the time of the purge
It’s always been the plan

We saw dark, thick, slimy gunk
Oozing up through the ground
I wondered how it would clear
Could a way be found?

Instantly the answer came
The Light, eternally the way
Dissolving, eradicating dark
As night always turns to day

Also, the Waters of Mother Earth
Would cleanse and purify
Gaia’s release would bring
A New Earth to be on High

We were then back in my garden
To relax, and chat as friends
Having a cuppa together
And that’s where my vision ends

Poems About Nature:
Home & Garden

My Mum has loved to create beautiful gardens since I was little.
I wriote this poem for her  80th birthday.
I have deleted some of the words due to them being personal details. 

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

It started in Drayton St Leonard
......................, many years ago
You began to plant some flowers
And loved to watch them grow
With a blooming young family
Times were often quite tough
But nurturing growing things
Blossoms hope, in being enough

Moving to .....................
Bright, shiny, and almost new
Creating gardens back and front
Was so pleasing for you to do
A chance for sitting in the sun
Flowers and children growing fast
Geraniums loved by your Dad
Evoked memories that last

A blip, then we moved to
................................., Witney
Another garden back and front
You were soon on bended-knee
Tending lots of beautiful flowers
And then Dad joined in too
Out the back he planted vegetables
Just as his Father used to do

Moving to ............................
Some children had flown the nest
Such a delight, a brand new house
Though things weren’t always at best
Creating a garden from scratch
You were in your element
Honey by your side, your Mum’s visits
Treasured moments Heaven sent

Dad’s business excelling fast
Meant another move could bring
A bigger home, with room for your Mum
And a garden, to make your Heart sing
Although only just for five years
Your splendid home at .............. View
Would often bring the family together
Sharing work, Love, and lots of fun too

Time moves on, now just two
Feeling a need for a place to retire
In the heart of Witney seemed right
Time to relax by the fire?

........................., the place
Soon re-named as Prison Camp
A tiny garden, stifling rules
Too early for a retirement stamp

Back to familiar surroundings
In .................., part of Cogges
Walking to Witney across Langel
Meeting people walking dogs
Happy to be able to create more
With a lawn and garden to tend
Nurturing more than just flowers
Peace planted, time to mend

Fate stepped in and gave a nudge
For the next move to come to pass
Strange, but it would not have been
But for a phone kiosk on the grass
...............Cottage became your dream
Though at first a daunting task
Old, but soon your piece of Heaven
Summer days in the sun you’d bask

Many lovely years of Joyful bliss
Before acceptance would bring
The knowing your were ready
This time you would fit in
‘Sheltered’ at .......................
There was even room to make
A courtyard garden on the side
To sit and have a coffee break

Trees, hedges, flowers, plants
Nine gardens have felt your touch
Creating beauty all around you
Even where there was not much
Green fingers learnt from your Dad
Guided you to have a nurturing hand
To be a Blessing that continues on
From your adorning of God’s land

Poems About Nature:
I Love Nature

Spiritual Nursery Rhyme

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

I Love nature
I love trees
I love the little birds
And the tiny bees

I love the moon
I love the sun
I love every morning
When the day has begun

I love cats
I love dogs
I love going for walks
Climbing on fallen logs

I love clouds
I love sky
I love the glistening stars
Shining from so very high

I love mountains
I love seas
I love standing still
And feeling the breeze

I love nature
I love it all
I love seeing
And hearing nature’s call

Poems About Nature:
Immortal And Visible

Affirming The Classics:
Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Original Hymn by: Walter Chalmers Smith

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Immortal and visible, God is all wise
In Light and accessible before my eyes
Most Blessed, most Glorious, in all of my days
I Am victorious as I follow His ways

Perpetual calmness and silence I find
Freewill acceptance, I’m given my own mind
I climb beautiful mountains high soaring above
And float on the clouds of His Goodness and Love

To all life God gives to both great and the small
In all life He lives, the true life of all
I blossom and flower as leaves on a tree
Eternal in Oneness, as God is in me

My Father of Glory, Purity and Light
The Angels adore You, Love shining so bright
All round me Your presence, I now clearly see
And Your Light is the Love around and in me

Immortal and visible, God is all wise
In Light and accessible before my eyes
Most Blessed, most Glorious, in all of my days
I Am victorious as I follow His ways

Poems About Nature:
In God’s Hands

Some people’s lives seem to be
An immense, tempestuous, tidal sea
Waves of problems relentlessly pour
Often knocking them to the floor

But then the ocean can be calm
Many years pass with no harm
They sense the Peace, here at last
Hoping all worries are in the past

Then out of the blue, a tsunami hits
Can they survive and keep their wits?
Or will they be taken down to the deep
Drowning in sorrow,, a quivering heap?

But they are stronger than the most
From years of living by the coast
Building their resilience over long days
Of many harsh storms, and healing sun-rays

Elements of Nature enhanced their core
Enabling them to rise-up, off the floor
‘This too shall pass,’ experience brings
Knowledge and wisdom in all things

Those who have the greatest ability
To rise above the turbulent sea
And walk on the soft, golden sands
Leave their doubts all in God’s Hands

Whatever we face in this life of ours
Frost and storm, sunshine and showers
Gives us what we came here for
Our Soul develops as it experiences more

No one escapes the storms of life
In some way there will be some strife
There’s many who’ve survived worse than you
Use them as inspiration to get you through

I know I’ve been luckier than many it’s true
With fluffy white clouds and skies of blue
Of course there has been a storm or two
But I had something to get me through

I was Blessed with a mother who taught me
To ‘Let Go And Let God,’ always be
The way to remain centred, be still
Even when facing the rockiest hill

Always holding Love in my Heart
Clears grey skies, clouds depart
Bringing the sunlight of God’s Love
Answers flow from the Divine above

Poems About Nature:
Insight

My Vision: Summer 1999

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Before writing a poem I pray for guidance
But today, I still couldn’t get the theme
So I decided to visit my tranquil beach
Where my answers are revealed in a dream

This simple, insightful tool I discovered
Many years ago in a Betty Shine book
Meeting my Guide at my peaceful place
Counsel I’d always get, if the time I took

By just letting whatever images flow
Without blocking them by my thought
My questions are always answered
And wise guidance to me is brought

My first ever visit to The Beach
In summer of 99, I soon forgot
But years later I found my notes
Understanding then hit the spot

I had gone to seek the ultimate answer
Of what I was here in this life to do
I walked bare-foot on the sandy beach
And was met by someone I never knew

I didn’t have to ask his name
‘James’ just slipped into my mind
He was about my age, in a robe
Serene, Gentle, Loving and Kind

We were looking out at the ocean
He said, “It’s a vast world out there”
Then he turned me around to the beach
And hundreds of people were everywhere

They were rushing around in fast motion
As if watching fast-forward on TV
James told me to hold Love in my Heart
And reach out to touch someone carefully

As I touched someone they stopped
Relaxed, slowly moving on, smiling at me
I was told that by touching people’s lives
I could set them on their own Path to God naturally

James asked me to do it again
This time a child stopped, as I reached out
“Children are easier to bring back to God
They haven’t strayed as far,” without a doubt

At the time of that very first meeting
I wasn’t ready to ‘hear’ or understand
The momentous, insightful wisdom
Available to all, and so easily at hand

So, getting back to my visit today
James met me on The Beach, as before
Immediately, I knew what my theme would be
The beach, and what I came here for

Poems About Nature:
Look For The Rainbows

Storms come into our lives
Some mighty, others small
As a metaphor, or weather
‘This too shall pass,’ we recall
For no storm lasts forever
There will be a brighter day
Keep Hope and Faith at Heart
Aligned with Positivity, stay

But, even storms have rainbows
Depicting colour and Light
A symbol of Hope we can see
When we look up to the sight
Raising our eyes and our Spirit
A simple, beautiful thing
To the young and the old alike
It makes all our Hearts sing

We all know of the tales
For centuries have been told
At the end of a rainbow
You'll find a pot of gold
Of course, this is nonsense
If you perceive it literally
But gold is not the only treasure
We all know this instinctively

The storm raging all around
Our world in 2020
Bringing chaos and fear
We can all clearly see
The children, our treasures
Are showing us the way
To look through it all
With Hope’s colourful ray

Making their own rainbows
And sticking to their window
Sharing in Unity, at home
The streets are all aglow
Isolated, but coming together
In a simple, yet Joyous way
The children, our teachers
Of tomorrow and today

Our world is constantly changing
At a great speed right now
If we open our Heart and mind
We can perceive in Truth just how
Compassion and beauty abound
Flowing even through all the dread
We will rise and be Pure Sovereign
No matter what is being said

We have reached the apex
In our world of duality
Now Love and Light is here
To bring Peace, our destiny
Rainbows will now be seen
More magnificent than ever before
Even without storm or rain
A symbol of Light forever more

Look for the rainbows
All of the children have made
Adorning their place of sanctuary
As at home they’ve all stayed
Look for the rainbows
We shall see in our skies
Heaven becoming closer
As we see through all of the lies

Poems About Nature:
Magic Eye

It was the latest craze in the 90’s going around
Looking at pictures and what could be found
Inside these pictures was another to see
Hidden from view and apparently in 3D

I tried to see what it was all about
I couldn’t see anything, so began to doubt
That anything was actually there at all
So I got a big picture to put on my wall

Patterns, shapes of many colours and size
Covered the picture before my eyes
I stared at it umpteen times a day
But nothing appeared in anyway

I tried to look as the instructions told
Relaxing my eyes, no focus to hold
Looking through the picture, was described
I began to think the instructions lied

But other people said they could see
Objects appear, like a bird or a tree
I continued to look, determined to find
But my magic eye just stayed blind

Giving up hope that I’d ever get to see
On day I glanced, not bothered and lazily
Suddenly on one side, a shape appeared
I was so surprised, I could have cheered

I looked at the shape, but it was gone
Now I knew I could do it, I continued on
Relaxing my eyes, and looking through
That was all I ever really needed to do

It didn’t take long to see the whole thing
An airplane in 3D, with extended wing
Coming out of the picture towards me
I was elated that at last I could now see

After that first time it was easily achieved
Seeing the airplane, I now believed
I could do it, so it was easily done
Picture within picture was such fun

Now I could see with my magic eyes
I sought out pictures and showed other guys
But the thought that most stuck with me
Was what else is there we do not see?

The point of all this, I’ll come to now
Because over the years, I wondered how
Some people can see the non-physical?
A gift from Spirit, I believe is so magical

Becoming interested in the Spiritual side
I’d wanted to see auras and so I tried
But nothing happened, I could not see
I guessed it just was not meant to be

The magic eye pictures showed me how
To unfocus my eyes, to see differently now
So I tried this new way, looking at my hand
Although my gaze on it, did not land

Without success, I tried looking at a tree
Outside the window and it seemed to me
Around the leaves there was a slight glow
I could see, even though the wind did blow

By relaxing my eyes and focus, I knew I could
See the energy from plants, I understood
The energy was always there, not in view
If the magic eye is not looked through

Eventually I got to see the Light
Around my hand, an amazing sight
But over the years, time moved on
I didn’t practice this, had it gone?

A few days ago I gave it a try
Looking at my hand held up high
And around it I could see a Light hue
A glowing beautiful shade of blue

All who are blessed with the gift of sight
Have the ability to see the Light
Around living things, when they try
To use their own magic eye

Poems About Nature:
My Footprints In The Sand

Affirming The Classics:
Footprints In The Sand - Unknown

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

One night I had a dream.
I dreamed I was walking along a beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
one belonging to me, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of my life flashed before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that sometimes along the Path of my life
there was only one set of footprints.

Then I realized that it was when I moved closer to the Lord
and our footsteps combined that I was happier.
These were the times in my life I felt an abundance of
Love, Gratitude and Peace.

The Lord said to me:
“You are My Beloved, Precious child of the Light.
I Am with you now, and forever,
but you always have freewill to follow your own Path.

My footprints are there beside you, to guide you,
if you choose.

No matter what:
I Will Always Love You Unconditionally.”

Poems About Nature:
No Limits

My Vision: 9th October 2015

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Only two days had gone by
When I felt the urge to try
Another visit in my mind
To my guide, Lovingly kind

We were high up, overlooking the sea
I thanked James for guiding me
Gratitude for his Compassionate care
Knowing his Presence is always there

We then transported to a wood
Surrounded by nature, we stood
Taking in the beauty and sound
Trees, birds and flowers all around

James then made me aware
That I was not really there
Still at the beach, in my head
And in my body, laying in bed

Hearing the ticking of my clock
Simultaneous with waves on a rock
Birds tweeted around the wood’s stream
Blended together, what did this mean?

The next moment I was a child
A girl playing outside, running wild
Then an adult man, I became
Was I one-and-the-same?

Immediately I was an old lady dying
I felt the release, no more trying
I flowed to the Love, All-Encompassing
Remembering the Joy it did bring

These experiences passed in a blink
Giving me no time to stop and think
I just knew James was showing me
There are No Limits to ‘Be’

I made some notes in my journal
Knowing this guidance was eternal
On Time and dimensional sight
Divine Perspective shows the Light

This visit, very strange and odd
Different from all others, I’d trod
And now four years have passed
I understand it better, at last

For time is not linear at all
It’s just how us humans can recall
And live in Earth’s dense duality
Limiting our Pure Divinity

But the new energies now pour
And if you have unlocked your door
To allow your Awakening to begin
Your Divinity will start to sing

Poems About Nature:
On Or Off The Train?

My Vision: 3rd February 2019

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

One mind visit, with three visions
It had never been like that before
Drawn To The Sea, Footprints Of Light
Then Jesus showed me one more…

We were sitting on a train
A large window at our side
The scenery so beautiful
Moving so fast on our ride

Relaxing in comfy seats
With like-minded passengers
Chatting of the sights we saw
A friendly group of travelers

Cities then countries passing by
We got to see a vast amount
Of the Earth’s changing lands
Too many to even count!

We saw it all, passing by
With only a fleeting glance
Hurrying to the next destination
Experiences?… No chance!

Jesus stood, the train stopped
We got off, to go and explore
Life is lived by walking the Earth
Not staying behind any door

It was a plain, barren land
Many people, without much
But Hearts full of Compassion
Love so thick you could touch

People flocked around Jesus
He Radiated Pure Divineness
They had no doubts to overcome
His Sacred Energy Awareness

Among the people is real life
Giving help in any way
Even just a friendly smile
Can brighten someone’s day

Quality more than quantity
Less often means so much more
Time given to another, a true gift
If Love and Light is your Core

Physical connection with all life
And Mother Nature too
Allows true growth of Spirit
And God to flow through

Poems About Nature:
Past Lives

My Vision: 10th November 1999

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

This is one of my first visions
From so many years ago
Visualizing meeting my Guide
And my answers would show

I’d met James on the beach
Just a few days before
He was with another, Rachael
We’d walked along the shore

They told me: “ Learn of charkas,
You’ll be used for channelling,
Feel the energy of nature”
As we watched the tide flowing

Now back for another visit
Though only Rachael did I meet
Amazed at how she was dressed
In 18th Century, from head to feet

With high, elaborate hair
A painted mole on her face
Her wide colourful dress
It all seemed so out of place

We walked up a steep hill
To see the magnificent view
A canyon, valley below
The sky, a purest blue

Although no words were spoken
I knew why we were there
To appreciate Higher Perspective
It’s wisdom, she came to share

Being down in the valley
Your life may seem so very small
Insignificant to grander schemes
Lost in the nitty-gritty of it all

Surrounded by high mountains
Seeming there is no way out
Clouds of darkness overhead
Bringing lack of worth, and doubt

By lifting yourself Higher
Making your own Path ahead
Climbing to the Heights
See a different view instead

With any aspect of life
There is always a Higher View
Always a choice to make
Which perspective to see through

I asked, “How can I remember
The past lives that I’ve had?”
She smiled, and instantly
She was differently clad

A Native American woman, saying
“Let’s walk to the valley below”
I felt full of energy and ran
Walking, now way to slow!

As I ran, my clothes changed
And I felt smaller in size
A young Indian boy
My energy continued to rise

The valley now contained
A totally, beautiful sight
Living in tune with nature
My home camp, felt so right

The vision ended there
Strange, but I made notes
Now, twenty years later
My Inner-Knowing easily floats

Learning about my past lives
I’d always wanted to know
Divine Timing plays its part
My Awareness continues to grow

Lately I’ve been immersed
In a teaching that rings so true
My Heart sings with each word
Of Kryon, Lee Carroll brings through

Certain words I came across
Decades ago in my past
Struck a deep chord in me
Echoes chimed, held steadfast

Lemuria and Essenes
Two words, left an indelible mark
But why, remained a mystery
I was bewildered, in the dark

Lemuria and Atlantis
Lands of fact or fantasy?
So much written of Atlantis
But it didn’t interest me

I never did any research
On Lemuria over the years
I’m now seeing how strongly
My Inner-Knowing intuitively steers

The time was just not right
For me to truly understand
But now, so much is clear
I believe I was of this land

Synchronicity and confirmations
Abundantly show me how
These teachings are my truth
Divine Timing bringing them now

It’s inspiringly significant to me
The teachings were always there
Evidence of thirty years channelled
Freely given to view and share

But I never found my way
To read and listen, at all
Until I’d reached a point
To be ready for the call

And now I understand
From the Higher Perspective
My own Path of this life
And others I came to live

I know my future poems
Will be enhanced in the Light
Of these Spiritual, Divine teachings
Their truth shines in me, so bright

Poems About Nature:
Photographs

A split second of time
Frozen for all to see
Photographs are treasures
Capturing memories clearly

Beautiful scenes full of colour
People smiling having fun
Whether a garden in winter
Or an exotic paradise of sun

Our Earth is abundantly rich
Opulent beauty wherever you look
Landscapes, scenes and micro
Perfection in the photo you took

Celebrations wouldn’t be the same
Without the photos we create
Family history through generations
Times together that were great

None of us know the length
Of our time upon this Earth
Photographs can hold a wealth
Pure gold, not the paper’s worth

They aid our failing memory
With a delving knack
Little things we’d forgotten
All come flooding back

A visual link for our children
The only one they can see
Of those who came before them
Supporting their family tree

Sharing their treasured pictures
And the stories of their past
Brings them ‘back to life’
In our Hearts to forever last

However, it’s even more important
Especially when ‘snapping’ a lot
To be present, there in the moment
Live in the reality, not just the shot

Poems About Nature:
Smell The Flowers Along The Way

quote title: Walter C. Hagen

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

As you walk along The Way
Your life in the path ahead
Be sure to fully appreciate
Then to Joy you will be led

There’s an abundance of flowers
Strewn along your winding path
Be sure to notice them often
To lighten your load by half

Rose, bluebell, forget-me-not
Carnation, lily, marigold
Too many to name them all
But regard each and behold

Smell The Flowers Along The Way
Intoxicating, innate aromas enhance
To appreciate pure simplicity
Inhale, skip along and dance

See The Flowers Along The Way
Their beauty will bring delight
Perfection in radiance of colours
Intricate patterns fill your sight

Touch The Flowers Along The Way
Grounded naturally in Mother Earth
Connect yourself through them
Feel their, and your, true worth

Listen To The Flowers Along The Way
Silence brings peace to last
Speaking with no sound
Vibrational Being is blast

Taste The Flowers Along The Way
Vibrationally to digest
Not eat, but take into being
And in alignment you can rest

Enjoy The Flowers Along The Way
In true form, or as a metaphor
Blossoms and blooms are everywhere
Perceive them and you’ll attract many more

Poems About Nature:
The Amen Of Nature Is Always A Flower

Quote Title: Oliver Wendell Holmes

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

At the bus stop, passing time in my solitary thoughts
My gaze rested upon some nearby empty ground
There was nothing much at all to see, it seemed
Some grass, soil and stones were all my eyes found

Nothing changed over those cold winter months
As each week I waited patiently and surveyed
When rain fell soaking the earth, I noticed
Muddy puddles developed, where children played

As the days began to get a little longer
They became brighter and warmer too
I began to notice a change on the ground
Signs of life were starting to break through

The weeks went by as Spring finally arrived
Some days of rain, but mostly warm and bright
Various shades of green shoots covered the ground
Although different, united in seeking the light

Showers of petals from nearby blossoming trees
Cascaded upon me as I gazed at the ground
Gone now the blankness of winter past
Abundant foliage and flowering buds I found

I’ll never forget that summer day I arrived
My senses were blasted by the sheer power
Of an awesome scene of vibrant colour and beauty
The Amen of nature is always a flower

Poems About Nature:
The Bare Necessities

My Vision: 17th December 2000

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Waking up one morning
Still feeling down, depressed
I decided to seek guidance
Before I got myself dressed

In my mind I visited
The Beach, I’d been there before
Help would always be given
Now I needed it even more

The sun was shining brightly
As my bare feet sank in the sand
I felt the soft, yielding warmth
Wherever my footsteps would land

I noticed a man and woman
Sitting by the edge of the sea
I went and sat beside them
Knowing they were there for me

As the water cooled my feet
I asked ‘What should I do?’
My life, a downward spiral
To change, I needed a clue

The answer came interestingly
In the words of a childhood song
Listening as in my mind it played
Simple truths I knew all along…

“Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life”

“And don’t spend your time looking around
For something you want, that can’t be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinking about it
I’ll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you”

The profoundness in those words
Struck me with their simplicity
I needed to let go and trust
All necessities of life flow to me

The Best Time To Plant A Tree

Quote Title: Unknown
The Best Time To Plant A Tree Is Twenty Years Ago
The Second Best Time Is Now

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

The best time to plant a tree
Is twenty years ago
To give it the essential time
To develop, bloom, and grow

Of course, this isn’t relevant
If you are still a youth
But, I’m sure you can see
This plain and simple truth

Trees are vital to our life
Here on this planet Earth
But do we really appreciate
Our trees, for all their worth?

Some say, if trees gave wi-fi
We would all be planting more
Instead, they give us oxygen
Life’s breath, crucial to our core

Trees sustain our life
We’re inherently entwined
Why do we chop them down
When other sources we can find?

Every child would benefit from
Planting a tree when they are small
Gaining more than just ‘green fingers’
Through the years, as both grow tall

So, if you have not planted a tree
Years ago, for time to allow
It’s growth, and needed life-force
The second best time is NOW!

Poems About Nature:
The Bus Journey

The simplest of things can bring meaning to you
And guidance is received to help you get through
The journey of life as you travel The Path
It’s amazing what brings a smile or a laugh

Although I am writing about my own journey
I believe that sharing enlightens others to see
And contemplate life and how it all fits in
So my story of bus journeys, I’ll now begin…

As a toddler and child I was uncontrollably shy
My parents were bewildered, they didn’t know why
I wouldn’t go anywhere without screaming and fuss
So it was always a nightmare to take me on a bus

With no car and living in the remote countryside
The twice weekly bus was a vital lifeline to ride
Although I don’t remember those first early trips
Excruciating tales I heard from my parents lips

At four years old, starting school, I began to change
Although still deeply shy, I wasn’t so strange
My school I loved going to was a few miles away
So I traveled with my brother on the bus each day

When I was about eight, in holidays I began to stay
With my grandparents who lived quite far away
One day out with my Nanny on a bus trip to town
I couldn’t ask for a ticket, all I did was frown

I knew the words, but they just wouldn’t come out
It took a few more years for me to lose my doubt
Then I could talk to people, just a little at first
My acute shyness had eased, the dark cloud burst

Several years later, at fifteen I began to date
A childhood friend, it all just seemed to be fate
Our families were friends, so the weekends I’d stay
Traveling on the bus to meet him on a Friday

The journey would take quite a long while
So lost in my thoughts, I’d daydream and smile
Planning our future together, forever more
The time soon passed, it was never a bore

Although I looked out the window, I didn’t see
The world outside, I was just focused on me
Enjoying the delightful thoughts that I’d find
Flowing so easily around in my mind

There were places to go together, and things to do
A couple of years later, there were wedding plans too
But from that time, the most memorable moments of all
Were treasuring my growing, precious bump, so small

All of my hopes and dreams were coming true
The bus rides I enjoyed, as I thought through
The years ahead with my own precious family
I was young and in Love, oh, how happy we’d be

Once wed I’d still journey, but the opposite way
Missing my parents, I’d visit often on a Saturday
Over the months as my pregnancy did progress
The bumpy journey was uncomfortable, so I went less

My beautiful baby girl was born in early spring
So all through the summer I delighted to bring
Her out on the bus, and wherever we would go
She’d get attention, as a proud Mother I’d glow

The following year it became much trickier to ride
The bus, as there was a baby brother at her side
In those days pushchairs always had to be put down
So it was very difficult to do much shopping in town

They were 2 and 3 years old when my last was born
So I could only manage to journey if a sling was worn
Snuggled and so cosy, the baby would sleep away
So I’d talk to the others and think of games to play

My attention had began to go outside of the bus
To keep little ones occupied, so they wouldn’t fuss
Playing I Spy, or just talking about all we could see
Through children, nature’s Heart opened a little to me

One amusing incident sticks out in my mind, so well
The things little ones say, are such a delight to tell
Crossing over a ‘Toll Bridge’ I had tried to explain
She thought coins were stacked up, to take the strain

The years flew by and they all grew up so fast
I learned to drive, so bus rides were in our past
But journeys together were never quite the same
Without sharing the sights and playing a game

When in my thirties my Son made me a Nanny
My Heart and eyes were truly opened wide, to see
The world through a child, so innocent and pure
I was Blessed with more Angels who awoke my core

Traveling on buses, with my young grandchildren
All so eager to explore, and just simply having fun
Flooding back in my mind, fond memories I’d recall
Of my children, the same when they were so small

I was once again living in the beautiful countryside
Separated, then divorced, my marriage had died
Sometimes I would take the bus to Oxford city
I noticed nature more now, so abundantly pretty

It was on one of these journeys, when I was alone
I gazed out the window, my thoughts on a roam
Words floated into my mind from the great somewhere
I knew they were for children, and that I would share

‘Where Is God?’ the poem I recalled and wrote
When I finally got home and took off my coat
It was one of the first poems given to me
On my journey to being who I came here to be

When alone, another thing I would often try
Was sending thoughts to people sitting close by
I had learned how our minds are powerful tools
Enabling so much if you allow, and positivity rules

I’d close my eyes and send out bursts of Love
Knowing they’d receive it, Blessed from above
No one we encounter is ever simply by chance
As we go through life in our Law of Attraction dance

I would sometimes send out Healing Rays of Energy
With my eyes closed I focus, I didn’t need to see
Often I’d know I’d finished, and then opened my eye
They were getting off the bus, I Blessed them goodbye

In more recent years I’ve spent three hours or more
On buses to visit family, the time is never a chore
Now I adore the abundance of nature out of the window
While listening to Abraham-Hicks, my Soul is aglow

Through my bus journeys of life, I have conveyed
My thoughts and directions, how my route was laid
Why not reflect on your own life and see what you find?
The simplest of things can bring Awareness to mind

January to February 2017

Poems About Nature:
The Eyes Of Source

Quote Title: Abraham-Hicks

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Nature is so awesome
Its beauty is beyond compare
It’s everything natural around us
Always willing of itself to share

From a tiny little seed
A mighty tree can grow
From such small beginnings
Strength and beauty it can show

With Love and Appreciation in your Heart
Just take a look around you and see
The abundance of natures forms
Its silent miracle is the key

Open your Heart, and open your eyes
To the wonders all around
Nature’s always there, waiting patiently
Until The Eyes Of Source you have found

Beauty and perfection can be seen
In the smallest, simplest flower
Just living, growing, adapting, changing, being
Its message can bring such power

Love is what you really are
It’s the truest abundance of wealth
Looking at the world through The Eyes Of Source
You are being your true self

Poems About Nature:
The Garden

The garden is created
Beautiful in simplicity
With the purest of flowers
And a baby, sapling tree

The temporary gardeners
Nurture with great care
Developing the garden
With the Love they share

But busy with life
Tasks to do, no end
Some weeds will grow
They can’t always tend

The tree is always growing
Rooting deep in the Earth
It’s Core strength develops
To branch out in self-worth

Seasons come and go
Years pass quickly by
The gardeners relinquish
For the owner to try

With supervision at first
The owner will learn
Where to place attention
And what is of concern

Much advice is given
And many seeds added too
By visitors to the garden
As they walk through

Tended often, or not at all
The garden will always grow
Flowers planted or self-seeded
Some develop fast, others slow

Most owners don’t weed at all
For many, many years
Until they come to realize
It’s developed all their fears

Venturing into their garden
Overgrown, some parts dense
Thistles, vines, thorns, weeds
The scale of the task.. immense!

Pulling on one single vine
Can reach far and wide
It was strangling many plants
They would have all died

An abundance of thistles
Prickly bushes causing injury
Overpowering all simple flowers
No Light of day could they see

Starting in a corner
Pulling weeds, just a few
Brings a sense of relief
Clarity begins to seep through

Working in the garden
Clearing, no longer a chore
The owner now perceives
Simple beauty known before

Maybe clearing a path
Adding a seat in the sun
Enjoying the peace
Meditation begun

Opening the garden
To the Spiritual Reality
Communion with God
Ever there to simply be

Poems About Nature:
The Simple Things In Life

If ever you are feeling down
Whatever it is that makes you frown
Just open your eyes and look about
You’ll find something, without a doubt
To make you smile and appreciate
That the simple things in life are great

A smile, a glance, a hug, a touch
From someone that you Love so much
A flower, a leaf, a blade of grass
Nature’s treasures we blindly pass

The serenity of a sleeping child
Even if, in the daytime they tend to run wild
A newborn baby, so complete, yet so small
You can’t help but wonder, the miracle of it all

Poems About Nature:
The Tree In Me

My roots stem from my family
Deeply embedded in Mother Earth
Strongly supporting my presence
That fed my early self-worth.
My roots are also a mighty link
Mostly unseen, as underground
I am connected to all of life
Growing in Spirit, as more depth is found.

My trunk is very evident
The physical body is what you see
Developed in my strength of roots
But solidness is only a part of me.
With each passing year I grow
The cycle of life, always in a ring
Changes with each new season
Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring.

My branches grew as a child
Count how many there are
All the ways I reached out
Wanting to learn and go far.
Supported by my trunk body
Also nurtured by my roots
My mind branches developed
All starting from little shoots.

My branches extended to twigs
As I ventured out more to explore
In the numerous directions
Always wanting to do more.
The twists and turns of life
Shape the twigs I create
Am I willing to grow more
Or do I hesitate?

My branches and twigs went out
Into this magnificent world
For all the things I’ve said and done
Another expanding leaf uncurled.
Abundantly representing me
As I ‘photosynthesize’
Transmitting and transforming
Always right before your eyes!

You may notice a few knots
Or whirls patterning my bark
Some experiences deeply felt
Impacted and left their mark.
My bark is my protection
Covering, so you cannot see
My layers of growth underneath
As I developed into the real me.

My blossom, pure and gentle
Delicately full of perfection
Comes when I am focused
And guided by Highest intention.
For me blossom represents
My Soul, Spirit, Inner Core
It’s profound physical beauty
A sign of there always being more.

My flower or fruit shows
Who I really came here to be
Colours, fragrance, food of life
Gracefully given from my tree.
Other life forms are nurtured
When I flower and fruit
As I open to the Divine
Still deeply Earthed at my root.

I let go and I give
To all nature my seed
To grow and develop
Wherever there is a need.
Next season, or years away
With Love, I will write
I give my seeds of truth
To grow in God’s Light

I’ve survived the storms
That are present in all life
Steadfast as a tree
Throughout worry and strife.
For my roots are so strong
Gripping tightly, down deep
Holding me safe and sound
In the Faith of God I keep.

The wind may howl
And blow through my leaves
I know I’ve lost a few
As it’s presence weaves,
In and out of my life
There’s always some turmoil
I am flexible and easily bend
Focusing on the goodness in soil.

The Heavens often open
And rains come falling down
Drenching my life
From my roots to crown.
But without water
They’d be no life at all
So I cherish this Blessing
Whenever it does fall.

The Light of the sun
In all of its Heavenly glory
Brings growth and upliftment
Essential to my own story.
Sun, another giver of life
Shining brightly, and so clear
Eliminating all forms of darkness
For God’s Light is always near.

There have been some droughts
But I survived them too
When I blocked the flow
Parched, but I always knew,
Balance would prevail
And I would be stronger
Energy would rain on me
If I patiently waited longer.

The cycles of life
Sometimes lay bare
No leaves on my tree
Dormant, I don’t share.
And them comes the snow
Uniqueness in every drop
Delicate purity its truth
Messages from Spirit never stop.

Sharp and hard frosts
On a cold winters morn
Can make me shiver
And feel a little forlorn.
But if I look closely
Making beauty my intent
The picture it paints
On my tree is Heaven sent.

My truly greatest part
Most people do not see
My Spirit radiates
As I rise up like a tree.
To the Heavens I reach
Branching out into the unknown
We are linked, we are all One
With the trees I have grown.

Poems About Nature:
The Tree That Spoke

Oh, the things I have felt
For over a hundred years
From bountiful joys of nature
To the sorrow of human tears

When I was first planted here
There wasn’t much else around
A field of grass, some trees like me
A few upright stones on the ground

As I grew tall and strong
Yielding as each season passed
The people came and went
Always mournful and downcast

My wisdom grew with time
As my roots delved into the Earth
I also connected to the sun above
All-That-Is pronounced my worth

The ever-flowing abundant life
Birds, foliage, butterflies, bees
Most people never-ever noticed
Oh, please! BEHOLD us trees

We are the inherent Guardians of Earth
Filtering and providing more than they see
The original network, our roots underground
We may seem static, but we are truly free

The empty field that once surrounded my youth
Is now filled with hundreds of stones
Becoming more ornate over the years
But still, just mark the position of bones

I absorb the waves of sadness that flow
From the people visiting a stone
If they let me, I can help them
For we are One and never alone

I sense the Spirit of their Loved one
They block the energy by thinking them gone
My leaves whisper the truth on the breeze
‘They are beside you, they do live on’

Poems About Nature:
The View

Written for my parents 60th Wedding Anniversary

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

With family and friends around
On a March day you were bound
Together, young and in Love
Blessed in church by God above

You vowed to always stay together
Through sunshine and stormy weather
Life would throw all aspects at you
But your Love would pull you through

Now sixty years have gone by
Speeding time does surely fly
And here you are together still
After surmounting many a-rocky hill

Standing steadfast where you are
From that hill-top you can see far
You’ve created a spectacular view
With the Love that came from you

Generations have blossomed and grown
From the Love that you have sown
Each a Blessing, flowering in your Light
Ever present, ever bright

Scattered around you, each flower grows
All different: cosmos, forget-me-not, rose
Beautiful blooms, growing strong
Seeding more as time moves on

Some little buds don’t really know you are there
Watching over them because you care
But still, you send them your Light and Love
From your vantage point on the hill above

God Bless you for all you’ve done
Creating the view since your Love begun
Now rest and enjoy the outstanding view
Eternal Love and Blessings, to you two

Poems About Nature:
Through The Eyes Of Source

Quote Title: Abraham-Hicks

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

My physical eyes have limited sight
Filters of thought and belief blur my view
But if I look Through The Eyes Of Source
I will see everything clearly, and true

To look through with The Eyes Of Source
I first need to change and Lighten my mind
I let go of any not-good feeling thoughts
And think ones that feel better and kind

I talk to myself about things that are good
And things that I really appreciate
Then as I feel that upliftment in me
Through The Eyes Of Source, I will vibrate

Looking Through The Eyes Of Source
It is easy to appreciate and expand
By noticing all the beauty there is
Wherever my enchanted gaze may land

Walking outside with Mother Nature
Using The Eyes Of Source as my looking glass
My vision sometimes gets blurred with tears
At the intense magnificence of everything I pass

With the colours, shapes, size and variety
Of the infinite abundance of nature’s forms
From the majestic tall trees, to a daisy in the grass
Looking Through The Eyes Of Source, my Heart warms

In every face there is a simple beauty
The Eyes Of Source will always see
Wrinkled, scarred - it matters not
Even looking in a mirror at me

The intoxication I feel has seeped into my life
I am now selective on where my focus will be
I’ve lost interest in looking with my dull ‘human’ eyes
As Through The Eyes Of Source I now choose to see

Poems About Nature:
Watch Out For The Seekers

My Vision: 2003

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

I met James on the beach
Just as I did before
Wondering what he’d say
I wanted to learn more

We stood at the end
By the edge of the sea
The beach began to fill
With many a family

One little boy playing
I noticed near by
With bucket and spade
Then, time began to fly

The years passed by
And families returned
Drawn to the beach
Relaxation they yearned

The boy had grown
Now a young lad
Still playing in the sand
Always fun to be had

But then he looked up
As he noticed near by
A man was ‘preaching’
He went to listen why

Returning to his play
It became known to me
Everyone was caught up
In their own lives, by the sea

The years carried on
The boy now a man
Relaxed on the beach
Enjoying getting a tan

Eyes closed, deep in thought
A memory surfaced, one day
Of hearing the ‘preacher’
And what he came to say

He walked in the direction
Of where he had heard
Thinking of the wisdom
Now evident in every word

As this happened I was told
People are caught up in living
Many not noticing around them
The beauty of what is given

But some will hear
And take it all in
Dormantly waiting
For their Path to begin

They become a Seeker
Of Truth, Love, and Light
Now set on a course
For a future so bright

‘Watch Out For The Seekers’
James said, and he went
I wrote the vision down
Acknowledging the wisdom sent

*****

I became a Seeker
Many years ago
Even these visions at first
Their truth I didn’t know

Things that I’ve heard
Back in my distant past
Return with new meaning
I understand, at last

This vision taught me
To never give in
Sharing my words of truth
Time will always win

If it’s meant to be
I will do my part
Sharing with all
The Love of my Heart

Poems About Nature:
We Are Just Walking Each Other Home

Quote Title: Ram Dass

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

It’s a well-known way to view life
As a ‘Path’ we all must take
The Path can be rough or smooth
Depending on choices we make

We can travel on our track alone
Or with close and trusted friends
Their presence gives us support
As we navigate the dips and bends

Varied Loved ones will accompany us
Along the majority of our life Path
The Love we share gives us direction
The Joy, Lightens our way as we laugh

But where does this Pathway begin?
And where does it go to, and end?
Or is it a vast circular Highway
We want to know, to comprehend

I believe the two points are the same
From Source we arrive at our birth
Wandering along to find our own route
The reason we decided to come to Earth

Experiencing the Joys and the beauty
Giving Unconditional Love to one-and-all
Discovering our unique gift to share
Is the true Path we all came here for

Sharing our Love and our gifts
With any who join us on our roam
Enlightenment comes to let us know
We Are Just Walking Each Other Home

Where Is God?

Spiritual Nursery Rhyme

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

God is in the flowers
God is in the trees
God is in the butterflies
And the birds and bees

God is in the sunshine
God is in the storm
God is in the snow and frost
That makes you wrap up warm

God is in the good
God is in the bad
God is in what makes you happy
And what makes you sad

God is everywhere you look
And everywhere you go
God is your best friend always
Because God Loves you so

Poems About Nature:
Why Did You Come Here?

For Children

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

“Why did you come here?” I asked the daisy
As I lay on the grass, feeling dreamy and lazy
The answer just appeared in my mind
“I came to add to the beauty you’d find.”

“Why did you come here?” I asked the bee
Flying so fast I could hardly see
The bee turned and started to fly more slow
“I came to help the flowers grow.”

“Why did you come here?” I asked the ant
As it ran across the beautiful plant
“I was alone, but now life’s a dream,
I came to work as part of a team.”

“Why did you come here?” I asked the cat
As she clawed away on the fireside mat
She looked right into my eyes with a stare
“I came to help you become Aware.”

“Why did you come here?” I asked little Lucky
Our precious, playful Labrador puppy
“I told you before, when we were in Heaven above,
I came to give you Unconditional Love.”

“Why did you come here?” I asked my teacher
When showing my carefully painted picture
She thought for a moment and began to say
“I came to guide you along the way.”

Why did you come here?” I asked the old man
Who was sat in the park and getting a tan.
The man smiled at me and said, “Ever since my birth
I came to enjoy my life here on this Earth.”

Why did I come here? I wanted to know
Then all these things I attracted to show

I came to…
Find beauty, enjoy life, help, guide, and share
Unconditional Love, and become Aware.

Poems About Nature:
You Only Hear What You Are Ready To Hear

Quote Title: Abraham-Hicks

Be Love, Seek Joy - Quote purple hearts Trina Graves, SpiritualQuotesToLiveBy

Even though we are all One
We’re also individuals too
Which means we are each unique
Looking at life with our perceptional view

It seems our lives are moulded
In so many different ways
But the truth is we are the source of it all
With our own thoughts we create our days

You only hear what you are ready to hear
Many people are not open to see
Whatever is going on in their lives
They created their own reality

But all is not lost by such words
The seed is planted and you will find
One day in the future, something will ‘click’
And the truth will blossom in their mind
