This photograph below was taken on a beautiful winter’s day in Bonny Scotland, a stunning little place called Balmaha. It inspired this next inspirational quote. May you open your heart today and see an inspirational vision of love right there in front of you. Clarabelle
“Love has endless beauty,
like the sun shining on a winter’s day.”
(Clarabelle)
Who is She?
I write with ‘she’ in mind. Who is she? What can she become? What does she dream about? What hopes are in her heart? What happiness does she bring to others? What if she just lived? What if she became alive, right now, in this moment? What wonders would she bring to this world? “She” may be you, “She”, may be me. Who is she? This next poem is inspired by just that. May the beauty of each day, shine in your soul forever. Much love to you today, Clarabelle
Dreams in her Soul
She writes with love, she writes with light;
Early in the morning, and last thing at night.
She opens her heart, to everyone;
Sharing her secrets, thinking of fun.
A happy soul, she shares it with glee;
Positive thoughts, changing me.
Hope is on the horizon, look up to the sun;
Shadows paint a pathway, over where she has run.
Beauty is in her heartbeat, shining afar;
Smiles last forever, and wherever you are.
She is a miracle, a symbol of life;
Forgotten are her days, of trouble and strife.
Her life has moved on, she dances alive;
Dreams in her soul, love in her heart does thrive.

I had the most amazing childhood, it was full of fun, adventure and magical spirit. I was surrounded by an abundance of friends, love and laughter….I hold these special memories very close to my heart, they are locked in my soul forever…..we will never be apart!! This next poem is inspired by my childhood dreams and those treasured times of the past that have shaped who I am today. If I ever feel I have travelled afar from who I really am, I think of those rainbow days and those long summer sunsets, where I danced in the wind, laughed in the rain and played with love in my heart, every moment of every day. I wish you a day filled with a childlike free spirit that makes you feel so very happy inside. I am smiling now, I do hope you are. Love, Clarabelle
Rainbow Days
Sweet sweet child in me, playful and full of fun;
Dancing in the rain, laughing under the sun.
Happy was my heart, true friends were all around;
My soul skipped to the music, love in me profound.
Fresh air on my face, the clouds so magical too;
Hopping in an out of puddles, this is what I do.
I wake up with a song, playing in my heart;
Singing to this tune, I repeat this special part.
Smiles, hugs and warmth, fill my rainbow days;
Light shines from within me, reflecting spectrum rays.

Happiness can be accessed at any moment and at any time of the day. Give up the ghost of darkness, for your inner light is special and it is connected to an abundance of pure love. May happiness dance around you today and always. Love Clarabelle. This next poem is for you. Have a beautiful day.
Happiness Dances Around You
Oh sweet and precious moment, I cherish you now;
Long have I awaited, to free me from this how.
I feel my heart glisten, spreading happy thoughts;
Releasing me from pain, undoing the difficult knots.
For once when I was sad, life did get me down;
A painted smile upon my face, masking the frown.
But even through that anguish, a light in me did shine;
The beauty of an open door, a white butterfly was the sign.
Today life is on the up, I’m reaching many heights;
My spirit is alive and I’m flying amongst the kites.
Light as a feather, I’m nourished at the soul;
My eyes sparkle like diamonds, when once they looked like coal.
So pick up the pace of life, your heart has a story to tell;
Happiness dances around you, it’s time to break out of your shell

Listen to you heart by silencing your mind….this next inspirational quote is for YOU. May the whispers of your heart, sing to you today. Love, Clarabelle.

your heart speaks many gentle words…..listen.”
(Clarabelle)
Here are my thoughts on love, put into an inspirational quote for YOU. Much love to you today, Clarabelle. Wishing you a fulfilling day filled with pure love.
“Love is the pure essence of life,
without love, we are empty inside”.
(Clarabelle)
Sometimes a few simple words share a whole lot of meaning. The next poem may be short and sweet but the silence between each line speak many heartfelt words. Wishing you a beautiful day, Clarabelle.
Happy and Bright
Beauty is love;
Beauty is light.
Feel it in your soul;
Happy and bright.

I love inspirational quotes, below is an inspirational quote created by me for YOU….because, your soul is truly beautiful!! Much love to you today, Clarabelle.
“Your soul is beautiful,
let it radiate warmth
and melt worries away.”
(Clarabelle)
Respond with Love
I often feel that when I don’t act with love it puts me out of balance, let me give you an example. Recently I received a message from someone, which I didn’t like the tone of, I waited for a little while before I responded, but still feel I was reacting to the emotion I was feeling rather than responding to the situation. I feel this upset my equilibrium and for the next 36 hours it certainly did. I knew the only way to put myself back into balance, was to see the situation for what it was and not worse than it was. By doing this, I let go of unnecessary frustrations, this then opened up my heart and I instantly apologised for my poor response at that time. What did I learn from this situation? Most definitely, to never fight fire with fire and always to respond with love, this will free you from some unnecessary worry and pain. It’s never too late to respond with love and if you feel you need to do that with someone today, please do so, it will make life for you and the other person involved a whole lot better. Go on, put your life back into balance, what are you waiting for? This next poem is for you. Much love to you today, Clarabelle
Love is Profound
I call out my heart, do you hear my cry?
Where are you now? Don’t pass me by.
I search outside, nothing I find;
Where can it be? I know it’s one of a kind.
Then, in the silence, I discover, glowing from within;
A miracle heartbeat, I take a look in.
I see an extraordinary life, happiness all around;
Feeding pure souls, this love is profound.

Be truthful. Be Open.” from the book The Path to Love by Deepak Chopra. Happy St. Valentine’s Day to you and your loved ones, Clarabelle.

I have come across a lot of very beautiful people recently, people who are full of love, light, passion and happiness. I dedicate this next poem to the three people I am thinking about in particular, and their first names all being with the letter “A”. I will call them my three “Angels”, may you continue to bless hearts with your love, you truly are beautiful people. Whatever you are doing today, may you spread a little happiness and love around you. Much love to you, as always, Clarabelle
Beautiful People
I have a happy little feeling, dancing inside;
Beautiful people, are being my guide.
Their love is shining, brightly on me;
Giving me hope, filling me with glee.
***
So when love knocks on your door, greet it with light;
It will sparkle so magically, all through the night.
Uplifting your soul, touching your heart;
A special connection, the missing part.
***
For life is a jigsaw, the puzzle is you;
Once you’ve mastered yourself, dreams can come true.
To share your spirit, with another one;
Unleashes new energy, embrace the sun.
The rainbow is real, a miracle sign;
Thank you loving angels, you are truly divine.
poemsbyclarabelle, 9 February 2013
You can always make a fresh start moment to moment, by living in the now and using your mindfulness to change your immediate thinking. It is always important to remember to come from a place of love, because when you let love run freely from your heart, it will always make sure it does its job. This next poem is inspired by living life now, go on make it happen, because every moment, is a moment to change for the better. Lots of love to you today, Clarabelle.
Living Life Now
Living life now;
Frees you from the how.
Just let go;
Let love in you, flow.
Take a step, achieve;
Really do believe.
That you can have it all;
Aim high, stand up tall.
Let worry, pass you by;
There’s a smile, behind your cry.
The pain will come and go;
This, I want you to know.
Today’s a brand new day;
Stay focused and go your own way.
poemsbyclarabelle, 24 January 2013
When someone close to us dies, often prayer can help us to see through each day until we become strong again and are ready to face the world. I wrote this prayer after hearing about the loss of a friend’s loved one, I hope its sentiment brings strength to anyone who is going through this deep sadness at this time in their life. Love to you Clarabelle.
Prayer for the Loss of a Loved One
Dear God,
I pray that my loved one, is now held gently in your loving arms.
May their soul now be free and abundant with love and light.
Let their happy loving spirit, shine and guide us here on earth.
I pray that my close family and friends, remain strong for each other.
May we continue to be blessed with your loving presence, every moment of every day.
Amen
Life can be full of shocks and surprises, usually when you least expect it. I heard some sad news recently, the unexpected passing away of an adult friend from my childhood. Instantly I thought of the loved ones that are left behind and trying to cope with their loss and sadness. It made me think of how I was able to cope when my Dad passed away many years ago. I wrote this poem in the hope that it will bring some comfort and solace to the grieving family and friends, you are all in my prayers. Much love to you Clarabelle
You’re Never Alone
Today I feel your sadness, it’s present in my heart;
Your loss is very tragic, many tears from you depart.
A sinking soul, with a deeper beat;
Emotions are heavy, no people you want to meet.
Is this real? Is this me?
Questions stir your mind, make you feel crazy.
But let me tell you a secret, one I want to share;
When loved ones leave us, important people do care.
They offer a helping hand, to ease your current pain;
Their love surrounds you, to fill your heart again.
The human spirit comes alive, and reaches out to you;
It shines a light on your darkest days, to help you see it through.
You’re never alone, at this difficult time;
Angels dance around you, until you feel just fine.
So when you close your eyes tonight, and rest your head to sleep;
A warm blanket of love and light, penetrates your soul so deep.
poemsbyclarabelle, 16 January 2013
Challenges are a blessing, they make us stronger from within, although at the time it doesn’t really feel that way. Courage will always find you, please have faith and know in your heart of hearts that set backs make us dig deeper and a new opportunity awaits for you. May you create the right opportunity for you in your life today. Much love to you Clarabelle.
Courage Will Always Find You
Have patience my dear, for all is well;
I see it for your future, I hear its jingle bell.
For just around the corner, is a beautiful light;
Waiting for the darkness, so it can shine on you so bright.
Challenges are a blessing, they make us who we are;
Welcome them with open arms, jump upon the star.
Courage will always find you, be brave and carry on;
Just because you cannot see it, doesn’t mean all hope has gone.
Trust in your heart, have faith in all that’s here;
This path that you are on, is quite simply crystal clear.
This encouraging little message, is especially for you;
It brings peace and loving thoughts, to make you stronger through and through.

Love Strikes Like Lightning
Loves strikes like lightning, it grows very fast;
Shaking your world, forgetting the past.
Just when you think, all is lost;
Down comes cupid’s arrow, whatever the cost.
The red heart of love, pumps passion into you;
It’s lifting your being, and brings happiness too;
Peace is on your doorstep, calling out your name;
Your soul breathes in life, welcome to the love game.

I love creativity, I love imagination, I love self-expression, I love painting with words. I feel this is where I belong, it feels like home to me, I feel I’m connected to another source when all of these come together and I know I am not the only one who feels this way when in artistic mode. This next poem in inspired by that. I wish for you a day where you do things that you love. Much love to you, as always, Clarabelle.
Painting with Words
I write these words, there’s no stopping me;
Late at night, the moon shines on what is to be.
It fills up my senses, with pure delight;
Awakens my spirit, all through the night.
There’s no escaping, the beauty of this soul;
It flows so abundantly, fills up the black hole.
Painting with words, is like treasure in my hand;
A princess of all princesses, welcome to my land.

Faith for me is knowing that the unknown is going to be okay. It is knowing that what you believed as a child would come true for you, will come true for you. Never giving up on a childlike faith, is such a beautiful thing. It is such a deep knowing and offers the deepest connection to your soul. I have managed to recapture that childlike faith and it brings much love and peace to my heart. May your heart be filled with patience and understanding that all is going to be okay for you. Much love to you Clarabelle.
Faith Showed the Way
The clock strikes midnight, I write alone;
A candle softly burns, glowing in my home.
Sweet whispers of the soul, speak to me;
Dreams of pastures new, big city lights I see,
Romance is in the air, it has captured my heart;
Magic awaits us, soon we’ll never be apart.
As I enter the unknown, it’s a scary thought;
But excitement carries me, under the sun so hot.
I always believed, I always knew;
Faith showed the way, now my vision is true.

Poemcasts for YOU
I do hope 2013 is getting off to a great start for you. I am so focused and driven to achieving my goals this year and one of them relates to putting a lot of energy into this blog and making it even better and more impactful for you. I can genuinely and honestly say that I LOVE this blog, I just love working on it, love sharing with you and love reading your comments and your posts too.
Podcast Host
Whilst looking into blogtalkradio this evening, I came across a podcast host, http://www.podbean.com. I got so curious and excited about it and after a good 6 hours playing around with it and voice recording some of my poems, I have now created my own Poemcast website http://poemsbyclarabelle.podbean.com which is directly related to and linked to this blog. I wanted to create podcasts, which as I am sure you have guessed by now, I have renamed to Poemcasts (thanks to a wonderful conversation I had with my friend Tom last year – his idea).
Poemcasting
I think it was Tony Robbins who said the quote “where focus goes energy flows” and I can’t agree more, because my focus on making this blog even better has led me to a new world of Poemcasting!! I share this information with you today, because you may wish to try it out for yourself.
So, if you would like to hear my beautiful Bonny Scotland accent whilst reciting some of my poems, you can.
Below are three links to my most recent Poemcasts for YOU, I do hope you enjoy.
PBC Poemcast 1 – Happiness is the Way
PBC Poemcast 2 – Love is Free-Flowing
PBC Poemcast 3 – Postcards from the Heart
I have also added the above links into the related posts on this blog and I have a lot more to update!!
I am sure I have still a lot to learn but baby steps all the way and I am very excited on this journey.
Much love to you as always, Clarabelle.
Can you understand my broad Scottish accent?

When my heart is touched with the gift of giving, I feel so abundantly grateful inside. Today my heart melts with happiness when a follower of this blog sent me such a beautiful message that has inspired the following gratitude prayer.
The gift of gratitude is so empowering and spreads the most loving energy out to the universe.
I thank you all for being here and more. May your day be filled with loving thoughts of gratitude and abundance. Much love and gratitude to you, Clarabelle.
Gratitude Prayer
Dear God,
Thank you for being present in my life.
Thank you for the abundance of love that surrounds me.
Thank you for the beautiful people I share my life with;
And thank you for the knowing that you are always there for me.
As I take each step on my journey of life;
I am grateful for all that I am and all that I am becoming.
May each breath of life that I take;
Fill me with true love, light and happiness.
Amen

It’s not very often that I receive a postcard these days, when I was younger it was much more common and usually every time a friend or family member would go on holiday you were usually guaranteed a postcard, which normally always arrived when they were back. However, lately, I have received two postcards from a very good friend of mine, the first one is from when she visited Berlin, Germany and the second one is from when she visited Cambridge in London,UK. It really did make my day when I received the postcards and I have decided to pay that forward when I go on holiday – it will be postcards all round. This next poem is inspired by just that, I hope you like it. Wishing you an adventurous day filled with travels to wonderful worldly locations. Lots of love Clarabelle
Postcards from the Heart
Postcards from the heart, travel very far,
Passing from country to country, raising every bar.
Caught up in the wind, making its way to you,
Filled with beautiful energy, inspiring what you do.
And when the postman knocks, to put it in your hand,
It brings with it adventure, from across this wonderful land.
It tells of happy times, memories with a smile,
And now lives in this present moment, bringing love from every travelled mile.

Sometimes when I look into someone’s eyes, I just know if their soul is truly enlightened with love. I know they want to be really happy and maybe look happy on the outside but the window to their soul never lies, it’s all about the inside. I experienced that recently with someone and decided to write this poem for them and send it to them. I hope you like it. May your soul be filled with love and light today. Much love to you Clarabelle.
“Love is Free-Flowing”
I see in your eyes, no light or love;
Dead in the moment, but the rainbow is above.
You attract what you become, not just what you’ve got;
Love is free-flowing, and cannot be bought.
It’s nice to have freedom, choice and dreams;
But to enjoy it alone, bursts a heart at the seams.
Change your direction, take your soul along the path;
There you’ll meet true beauty, and with faith, your other half.
For sometimes we look so hard, and still cannot see;
Sometimes the ‘law of attraction’, works mysteriously.
It’s not in ‘the secret’, or a special treasure box;
It’s not hidden in a cave, or where the wishing well talks.
It’s found in your spirit, and blooms in the sunlight;
It brightens up your mood, full of happiness and delight.
Your paradise of love, will always find a way;
Seek truth in each moment, and loves light will shine on you today.

I was on a creative roll yesterday (08.10.12) and found myself writing five poems in a very short space of time, I love it when that happens. This next poem was the fourth one I wrote, the words just flowed to me, I do hope you like it and it makes some sort of connection with you. May you find beauty in each precious moment of your day. Love Clarabelle
Reveal Your Heart
Reveal your heart, dust it down,
Let the magic escape, around the town.
It will go on a journey, to find a match,
Inspiring souls, before the catch.
And when it comes back, its spirit will sing,
Beautiful true love, to you it will bring.

Life can be really really tough sometimes, it can throw you curve ball after curve ball, whilst you’re climbing up the highest mountain, in the toughest terrain and then just when you think you’re getting somewhere, down comes the avalanche!! You may not realise it, but this is where the lighting strikes, this is where the miracle happens….saturated in doubts and drenched in tears, your heart and soul gets to work and creates a special magic inside of you, which reaches out and touches the stars. When you feel the deepest pain, believe me, it’s the start of your healing. How do I know?……I’ve been there. The New Year is just around the corner, there is life after 2012, I see it is so very special for you, full of love and abundance. My inner calling told me to share this with you today…….sometimes we all need a helping hand – listen to the whispers of your heart, for they only speak truth to you. Much love to you today, Clarabelle.
There’s a Champion in YOU!!
Your light shines brighter, in the dark,
Your heart beats stronger, but leaves no mark.
The soul reconnects, to all of you,
The mountain climb, is in full view.
Pause for a second, feel the calmness in the air,
Your inner being, has much love to share.
The battle ain’t over, but YOU will win,
Believe it and see it, hold up that chin.
Because sometimes we fall, and keep on falling,
Tumbling down the hill, away from our calling.
***
But where you land, is the start of your healing,
Disguised in your tears, and in the pain you are feeling.
Nothing feels worse, but please trust, in what I say,
As you freeze in the moment, in the heat of the day.
You are a miracle, you are the one,
That can move any mountain, your journey has begun.
For inside your being, a bright flame does glow,
The tougher life gets, the more it does grow.
The eyes cannot see it, as the mind struggles on,
But it’s burning down the virus, until it’s all gone.
Don’t shut out these whispers, have faith, they are true,
Keep going, my friend, there’s a champion in YOU!!

For some reason I have been getting into the Christmas spirit and it’s only October, that’s really really early for me. So I’m planning ahead to Christmas day and created this Christmas Day poem just for you. Have a beautifully blessed Christmas. Love Clarabelle
On Christmas Day
Snowstars fall, on Christmas Day,
Twinkling Angels, guide the way.
Mr Robin, joins the choir,
Chocolate hearts, melt with desire.
Family cuddles, and present giving,
Special moments, happy living.
Warm and cozy, life is bliss,
Merry Christmas, to my mistletoe kiss.
***
Blessings glisten, on the tree,
Prayers of hope, and dreams of ‘we’.
Icy tracks, from the sleigh ride made,
Ho, ho, ho, to the Christmas Parade.
Love creates, magic in the air,
Treasure this Christmas moment, so wonderful and rare.

I awakened very early yesterday morning, just before 5am and I seemed to be in creative thinking mode. I grabbed a pen and piece of paper and wrote 3 poems, one after the other, I love it when that happens. Here is the first one, inspired from being in the magic of ‘creative flow’. Wishing you a wonderful day, enjoy being present in every moment of it. Lots of love Clarabelle.
Waiting for the Sun
Waiting for the sun to come up,
Darkness fades, as I fill my cup.
I contemplate, the day ahead,
Dreams, hope, love, fulfills my head.
Tick tock, tick tock – my morning call,
Balanced beauty in this moment, no rise or fall.
Presence is here, spirit is drive,
Passion awakes me, energy I thrive.
The air is tranquil, my mind is free,
Watch out world, I’m coming to get thee.

We don’t need to wait until Christmas Day to share love and happiness with our family and friends, each brand new day in our lives is a special gift. Wishing you an abundance of Christmas blessings over the festive season. Merry Kissmas from Clarabelle
A Christmas Gift
Frozen footsteps, in the snow,
Christmas candles, burning slow.
Love and light, endlessly shines,
Carol singing, Merry Christmas chimes.
Children giggle, with excited thoughts,
Bundles of energy, from tiny tots.
Prayers of hope, and happy smiles,
Families gathering, from across the miles.
Everyday, is a Christmas gift,
Not just once a year, for a special uplift.
Hold each moment, treasure it well,
Fairies dance, under your magical spell.

I’ve been feeling alot of love in the air recently, it’s everywhere around me, it’s abundant, I know I don’t need to search for it, it is always there and you have it within and around you too. In the silence of my heart I drew a picture of love, which then led me on to writing this next poem about love, and I share it with you today. Much love to you Clarabelle.
Love is . . . . .
Love is the fresh air, on my face,
Love is the energy, in this place.
Love can move mountains, travel in time,
Love is a symbol, that’s truly sublime.
***
Love is creation, with all your heart,
Love’s bond is unique, and can’t be broken apart.
Love is truth, and calmness in sea,
Love stops wars, and frustrations in me.
***
Love is free-flowing, and beauty at its best,
Love is mother-nature, putting us to test.
Love is the stars, moon and the sun,
Love is where we belong, love is everyone.
***
Love is me, and love is you,
Love is wholesome, and vibrates in all you do.
Love is the answer, love is the song,
Love just “is”, and has no right or wrong.
***
Love is the journey, and the destination in one,
Love is magnetic, love is pure fun.
Love is in your eyes, and in your precious smile,
Love is your radiance, shining mile after after.
***
Love is joy, and peace from within,
Love is happiness, and the air you breathe in.
Love is the universe, the future of time,
Love is abundant, love is divine.

When you feel emotional pain in your heart, sometimes it is really difficult to get into the Christmas Spirit, I know this because I experienced it for a few years in a row. At that time, I didn’t really want to celebrate Christmas and now I realise that that thinking was all wrong, it didn’t really serve me well. This poem is all about that, release yourself from the heartache and cherish today for what it is, very very special. May the joy of Christmas spirit connect fully to your heart, mind and soul. Lots of love Clarabelle
Christmas after Christmas, the spirit died,
Pain in my head, from all the tears I cried.
No sparkling tree, under the moonlit sky,
A heavy heart, from the last goodbye.
Something felt missing, I let it all go,
Focus was negative, no energy did show.
I had closed the door, to life and all,
Until little robin redbreast, chirped his jingle bell call.
He said…..”Open your mind, to all that could be,
Your spirit is alive, set it free.
Spread your wings, get out of the box,
There’s a twinkle in your heart, its voice does talk.”
Fireworks exploded, I joined the stars,
My Christmas Life on earth, was felt in Venus and Mars.

I am receiving such beautiful comments from followers of this blog and these wonderful sentiments of support are really touching my heart. I want to thank everyone for their heartfelt comments, I am so grateful for them. This next poem is all about that. Have a beautifully inspired day, love Clarabelle.
Beauty is all Around
Touching words, moving hearts,
Lost in the moment, in all of its parts.
Feelings are special, unique and true,
Gratitude means everything, and I believe in you.
Love is on the horizon, its energy attracts me,
Beauty is all around, as far as the eyes can see.

We are all on a journey of personal growth and self discovery, some moving faster than others, often through a spiritual connection, individual choice and/or ambition. Whether you’re reading a book on your favourite subject or having a meaningful conversation, it all adds to your own personal development in some way. May you be inspired today to move outside your comfort zone and into your learning/stretch zone, where the known meets with the unknown and new learning has been achieved. This next poem is all about that. Have a joyous day filled with inner growth and self development, love Clarabelle.
Personal Growth
I feel the change, my being is flowing,
The sun shines on my face, my cheeks are glowing.
Personal growth, just made a spiritual shift,
The universe listened, such a positive uplift.
No words can explain, the special vibe in the air,
It’s pouring out my skin, with such beauty and flair.
It attracts pure souls, such an abundance of joy,
The happiest of spirits, real love to enjoy

I have been reflecting today on the wonderful close friends I have in my life, some of them I have known for over 30 years of my life and others for about one year. Regardless of the length of time I have known them, each and everyone of them is very special to me, their support is second to none and just talking to them instantly uplifts my spirits to another dimension. This poem is dedicated to my dearest friends, Donna, Sharon, Richard, Debbie and Dagmar, I shall champion you forever, thank you for all that you give me and much more. May I encourage you to let your friends know how truly special they are to you.
Friendship has true meaning, a simple gifted treasure,
When you’re feeling a little stuck, or need a partner for your leisure.
A real friend will be there, always just for you,
Holding your hand, to help you see tough times through.
An empathetic listening ear, gentle hug or warm smile,
A forever empowering note, that goes the extra mile.
Friendship is so sweet, like sugar in your tea,
Friends separate from the ‘I’ and turn it into ‘We’.
Friendship is the gift, of endearment and inner strength,
To support you indeed, friends will go to arms length.
Today I reflect on my friends, who are so very dear,
Like beautiful guardian angels, they bring me good cheer.
So wherever your dreams take you, please remember to tell,
Your friends that they are magical, like an enchanting wishing well.
Happy are their hearts, that shine upon you,
The closest of connections, without needing any glue.
Now we share the laughter, and hopes for all time,
I have friends in a million, I’d give them my last dime.
So often we forget ,the joy they bring each day,
Thank you my closest friends, in my heart for you I pray.

Have you ever had a friend that you lost touch with for a few years and then all of a sudden and out of the blue, they contact you to say ‘hello’. This happened to me the other day and although it was unexpected at that time, I somehow always believed that I would hear their call, I just had to give it time. Rather than trying to catch the butterfly, give it the time it needs and then it will come and sit on your shoulder. May your day be filled with beautiful butterfly moments. Lots of love Clarabelle.
The Stars Come Out To Play
He said ‘hello’ today, on his own,
No prompt from me, when I felt alone.
It’s taken 5 years, to melt the ice,
Because a broken heart, does not feel nice.
Letting go of emotions, frees me from pain,
I’ve learned a hard lesson, not to do that again.
So I’ll take this step forward, detached from it all,
The flame is still flickering, and burns down the paper wall.
I don’t hold on to hope, or feel any fear,
It is what it is, this moment is here.
I cherish the movement, as the stars come out to play,
And the moon masters the night sky, at the end of the day.

‘L.I.F.E.’ = Love It Feel Excited!! This is my motto, it used to be ‘Live It Feel Excited’ but now I feel changing the word ‘live’ to ‘love’ is much more fitting. This next poem is inspired by just that, wishing you an exciting day, love Clarabelle.
Love All Things
I’m excited about life, and all that could be,
Opportunities are abundant, look and see.
A hop and a skip, will help me think,
Free up the body, as quick as a blink.
I sing to the music, my heart plays a tune,
I’m dancing and laughing, under the moon.
***
This world is so beautiful, treasure it all,
Love flows like a river, towards the waterfall.
Time may go fast, so treat it like snow,
It can melt in the moment, like a heart with a glow.
Your body will tell you, if it doesn’t like its fuel,
Look after it well, is the number one rule.
It’s nature’s way, to help us grow,
Love all things, and the love in you will flow.

We all have dreams, some of us make them happen and some of us hold on to them in our imagination and never let them go, allowing them to sleep silently in the midst of our minds and that’s okay, if that feels right for you.
I would say that I am a dreamer, my dreams make me feel alive, for me I need to take action towards making them come true, because in my opinion, without dreams the world would be a lifeless place.
This next poem was triggered by looking at a photograph of an absolutely stunning sunset, it was so hypnotic and mesmerising that I just had to write. This is what the imagination created, I hope it awakens your spirit too.
I watch the sunset, through your eyes
You are full of mystery and surprise
The brightest stars, the highest moon
Sparkling forever, in your cocoon
Your genuine spirit, is shining through
A magical paradise, as I dream of you
I feel your heart, connecting with me
The most powerful magnet, the eyes cannot see
I’m drenched in your soul, the river is deep
Together as one, this moment we shall keep

We have all been through very tough times in life and I also have had my fair share. In the midst of these struggles it can be very suffocating at times but it is at these stressful moments in our life, when even though we don’t see it, our broken wings are being supported and helped by others, until we are ready to fly again. It can take time to fully heal, but during this time there are many blessings and many lessons and you will always come out stronger in the end and you will fly even higher than your imagination can take you. This next poem is inspired by just that and maybe just maybe this poem is meant for YOU to read today. Stay strong and believe this temporary situation will soon be over, love Clarabelle.
After the Storm
After the storm, I was shipwrecked at sea,
But paradise appeared, and I saved me.
You’re never alone, at the toughest of times,
Many hearts surround you, releasing magical chimes.
This angelic sound, is not heard through your ears,
It’s a waterfall of love, expressed in your tears.
Close your eyes now, breathe in the light,
A blank canvas of thought, will help you sleep better tonight.

Sometimes our hidden love for another is so deep, it silently creeps to the surface and rocks our world forever. To ignore this calling would surely haunt the heart for an eternity. Love is often mistaken as a feeling but love is a doing word, to receive love you have to give love..so go on ‘Just Do Love’ and fill your life with the richness it truly deserves. This next poem is all about being brave and opening the door to love.
This love for you, torments my core
I hear it’s knock, upon my door
Do I answer, say hello?
Or keep it hidden, deep below
It hurts sometimes, the emotions are strong
Is this the place, where I belong?
It stops and starts, but the engine has fuel
Do I give out my heart and let love rule?
To be honest, this feels dangerous for me
The fear is greater than to let this love be
But to not let love in, would feel heavy on my heart
Seeing you walk off, feeling sad as you depart
So I’ll be brave, let courage win
I’ll share with you my soul and let love in

What inspires you? What ignites your spirit from within? What would it take for you to feel inspired at this moment in time, right now? I just love the feeling of feeling inspired, it awakens the soul and lights up the fire inside. Like an explosion of excitement and abundance of enthusiasm, when you are truly inspired there is no mountain that you can’t climb. Wishing you a super inspired day. I hope you enjoy this next poem about inspiration.
Inspiration is full of heart, it comes from deep inside
It fills your soul with energy and captures you with pride
There is nothing greater, than feeling truly inspired
Connecting the mind, body and spirit, never feeling tired
In these inspirational moments, there is nothing you can’t do
Life feels amazing and fulfilled through and through
It moves you, it makes you, it changes your inner self
It masters your soul and gives you abundant health

I had a meeting today with a very good friend and colleague of mine, a truly wonderful gentleman who is very kind, caring, a giver of his time, with a head full of knowledge and a heart full of wisdom, he is a very special human being…thank you ‘J’. We got into a discussion about my poetry blog and ‘J’ very kindly said that I speak the ‘language of the heart’ through my creative writings. I loved that phrase and instantly thought, “I’m going to write a poem about that”, and so here it is, with sincere dedication to ‘JM’, thank you for everything.
Language of the Heart
Let the dust settle, before you start,
A journey of hope, language of the heart.
Strapped in tight, on this roller coaster ride,
To-ing and fro-ing, no place to hide.
Some share their secrets, others choose not,
A silent cry for help, raises true thought.
***
Yet far in the distance, beyond empty dreams,
Appears an angel and true love redeems.
All that is, all that was,
Take a deep breath, put life in pause.
A temporary moment, that challenges your smile,
Will soon fade away, then you’ll smile for a while.
Blue skies will appear, the sun will shine,
Because your spirit is glowing, you are divine.

Where are you inspiration?
Throughout our journey of life, the book holds many lessons but sometimes we get stuck in a chapter and fear the creation of a brand new page. It is in this blank canvas that our dreams can be nurtured into reality. By embracing change and stretching ourselves outside our comfort zones, we hold the key to an exciting new world. This next poem is all about ‘letting go’ and feeling free enough to turn the page of life.
Goodbye to my past, I’m letting go of you
Now I focus on the present, this beauty is shining through
I’ve closed the door to your love and finally have moved on
Too many sleepless nights, and worry from dusk til dawn
I didn’t need another, to help me close the book
I know the early chapters, were always worth a look
But the best is yet to come, the rainbow is on its way
It paints a bright picture, of the excited thoughts I hold today
Each step forward, I dance between the puddles
Like an umbrella of magic, embraced with joyful cuddles
Some will join the journey, others will choose to stay
But I will not forget you, in my heart for you I pray
Life can turn around fast, but only if that’s your choice
I say yes to change, by listening to my inner voice

When I see stunning photographs or paintings of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, it takes my imagination to different heights. A feeling of magic, mystique, romance, energy, vibrancy, connection and love all rolled into one, comes over me. I will soon be back there, living the dream and embracing the most perfect moment…..I see it, I feel it, I believe it. Today, let your imagination soar into the clouds and see yourself in that place you want to be. Have a beautiful day, love Clarabelle.
My Brooklyn Bridge King
Oh Brooklyn Bridge, how I love thee,
So strong and robust, above the sea.
You light up my soul, in the darkest night,
Like a powerful beacon, a shining knight.
You stretch my imagination, and unite lonely hearts,
A gentle giant and protector, in all of your parts.
Carry me over, let my spirit sing,
Dance with me forever, my Brooklyn Bridge King.

Yesterday I had this inner calling to go close to the water, so I did. When I got there, I instantly felt at peace, surrounded by nature which was indeed nurturing my soul. I then got my notepad out and I wrote the following poem. Today, listen to your calling, inner silence is when it’s at its loudest. Clarabelle
The Water’s Edge
The water’s edge, sets my soul free,
Nature’s hands, are holding me.
Open space, silence in the lake,
This is real here, nothing seems fake.
A treasure island, where tranquility prevails,
A rower in the distance, sets his own sails.
***
The rain may be falling, but it is a beautiful sight,
Soft cloudy skies, birds beneath, in full flight.
The ripples on the water, come out to where I stand,
I take a deep breath in, and reach out my hand.
I feel no coldness, for love shares this place,
Its beauty is inside me, and puts a smile upon my face.

I often remember special times that filled my heart with sheer ecstasy and excitement and I know I can bring that magic into my life at any moment, just by thinking about it. I have a favourite city that I absolutely love to visit and it is the wonderful city of New York, New York. I have an abundance of heartfelt memories with this magnetic city and whenever I hear someone mention New York or I see a picture of New York, my heart does smile. However, it is also important for me to remember that although these were especially good times for me, it is not about the past, it is about right now and about creating even better memories in the future – wherever my heart takes me my soul will follow. This next poem is about my New York experience. Let’s reflect on our happiest days, and by being happy right now, aim to make even happier moments by planning and creating the future that we truly desire. Start spreading the news!! Love Clarabelle.
New York, New York
I left my heart, in New York, New York,
Happy celebrations, from the champagne cork.
Fireworks in the sky, magic in the air,
People coming together, it was wonderful there.
On top of the world, feeling so good,
My soul laid its hat, in this neighbourhood.
***
A city of hope, where dreams come alive,
A vibrant atmosphere, where busy minds do thrive.
I was swamped in emotion, a new world at my feet,
I danced in the rain, with new friends I did meet.
Although I’m not there, the pictures still play,
My imagination can take me there, anytime of the day.
***
But it’s not about the past, and that amazing time,
It’s about RIGHT NOW, as I search for the divine.
I create tomorrow, from my thoughts of today,
I’ve taken my heart back, and now I’m on my way.
New York, New York, I will always love you,
We shared special moments, so heartfelt and true.

Often we go through life and we forget how influential our closest family members have been in our life. This poem is a heartfelt sentiment to my wonderful and beautiful younger sister,who through the highs and lows of my life has always been there for me. Thank you Leanne, you are so very special to me, more than you’ll ever know.
When we were young sis, we always used to fight
Early in the morning and mostly every night
I didn’t really appreciate back then, the special person in you
I now recognise that failing, so evident and true
But as we got older, I changed my poor sisterly ways
You became a best friend and we went on holidays
I love you my dear sister, you are so special to me
More than you’ll ever know, more than I let you see
I always feel so happy, when you are around
You cheer up the room, lots of laughter is your sound
And always when I need you, to my door you come a knocking
There with open arms and then we do some talking
You laugh at your own jokes and I find that very funny
Your spirit is so alive and your attitude is always sunny
Sister dear sister, you’ve made my life so great
I couldn’t ask for a better sister, 10 out of 10 you rate

What does it really mean to have faith? Faith is taking the next step without seeing the whole staircase and ‘Faith is the bird that sings to the dawn while it is still dark’ [Tagore]. Beautiful words and very true, without faith in ourselves and without faith in others, where would we be? The following poem is about love and believing in faith, whatever that maybe for you.
Motion pictures, in my mind
Broken heart, love was blind
Where is the stage, that I do seek?
Empty soul, I feel so weak.
Excited thoughts, of what could be
Embraced together, that’s you and me
But now the gap, swells up inside
I let it go, because of pride
My mouth was dry, I lay on the ground
The words got stuck, just silence, no sound
My dreams of white, as you lead the way
Are lost forever, what do I say
What do I do, is there hope at all?
Let me break these chains, kick down the wall
The audience awaits, with tears in their eyes
The curtain is called, to my surprise
There you stand, with a smile on your face
Is this real, as I stand in this place
The universe was listening, the whispers were loud
It brought us together, out of the crowd
To have faith in your heart, to believe and see
That together as one, we were meant to be

What does happiness mean to you? I have tried to capture in this next poem, some of what it means for me. The sweet simple things in life are there to be enjoyed, I wish you a very happy day.
Happiness is . . .
Love for another
My sister and brother
Tea with my mother
***
Reading a book
People watching, is a hook
Midnight stars, worth a look
***
Holding hands
Marching bands
Walking on sands
***
Swimming in the sea
Feeling free
You and Me
***
Sun in the sky
Imagination high
Kites that fly
***
The falling snow
Having faith, to know
Creative flow
***
A poetic note
An inspirational quote
Sailing on a boat
***
Dancing on the shore
Connected to your core
Happiness is all that and more

A Poem for Chuck
This poem was requested by a wonderful gentleman whose beautiful dog ‘Chuck’ sadly passed away recently. The poetic words capture the true essence of Chuck in every sense of the word and highlight the special bond between Chuck and his owner. Chuck’s spirit and vitality continues to live on in the hearts of the people he touched in his local community.
You’re forever in my heart, every moment throughout the year
We had the strongest bond, together we were one
Your caring ways were captured, in your playfulness and fun
Never have I had, such a best friend like you
As my protector and guardian, your bravery did shine through
And even though your presence, is missed each and every day
I know that you are watching over me, in a loving kind of way

After I finished reading the book, The Path to Love by Deepak Chopra, I created the following ‘self love prayer’ from the teachings within this book. I share this prayer with you today. May your activities today ignite your spirit and fill your soul. Love Clarabelle.
Self Love Prayer
Dear God, I love you.
Thank you for giving me the gift of spirit and self love.
I pray that today brings me closer to thyself, my inner being.
I pray that my heart remains whole, true and abundant with love.
Let my actions of today uplift my soul and open my spirit,
Allowing me to freely share my love with all of life’s energies.
Amen.
