This Imaginary Life

If this is a dream

ClarabelleLeave a comment

I wasn’t planning on sharing the following poem – it was just free flowing poetic randomness at the time. I’m not even sure I wrote it – if that makes any sense?

My little notebook, with various scribblings, poetic notes and doodles, was sitting on my desk, facing my window. Throughout the night, it was very blustery and windy outside, so I had to close my open window, as my curtains where blowing about like crazy.

When I sat at my desk this morning, I noticed my notebook was open, as per usual, and obviously, the wind had turned the pages over. (Photo below).

This was a clear sign for me, to share the poem with YOU. The message, however you take it, is for YOU…

THIS IMAGINARY LIFE

If this is a dream
How do I awake?
When I fall asleep
What dreams do I make?

Expand your mind
Open the door
To a wider Universe
Where less is more

Thoughts are not real
My eyes cannot see
This imaginary life
Is deeper than free

My smile has power
My heart is forever
The bridge of hope
Arches rainbow and river

~Clarabelle

It seems for me, the poem is not finished – I feel it needs another verse…..so here goes…

So dream in colour

Dance in light

Magical is everywhere

When you sleep at night

I wish for you, the answers to all your problems and the inner strength to brave on.

Lots of love.

Your Horse Awaits

You can do it

YOUR HORSE AWAITS

Get back up
Your horse awaits
To ride you forward
Out of the gates
No time to waste
The clock is spinning
Your dreams are now
I see you winning
The falls may hurt
In pain we grow
Another chance
Opportunity to show
You can do it
Just believe
Keep strong in faith
You will achieve

~Clarabelle

“The calvary ain’t coming”

You don’t need it!

Welcome to wonderful YOU.

My Poetic Heart

I invite you in

Clarabelle2 Comments 
I pick it up
my poetic heart
into the suitcase
for my depart

Goodbye yesterday
my life's not there
memories drift on
roadblocked, beware

Seconds tick by
the dark past is dead
bright speckles of light
are floating ahead

A spectrum of magic
bursts through the sky
guiding my spirit
beaming so high

A dream, a purpose
fulfulling my soul
a future so perfect
but now is the goal

I hold the power
to what will be
feeling abundance
joyful and free

My energy exudes
into a special space
remembering tomorrow
a loving embrace

~Clarabelle


Often I don’t know why the words dance in harmony that way. I’m not even sure it’s my message. Regardless, of the source, it always comes with “a loving embrace” – the purest kind.

Only when the mind is still and empty, can it receive the highest wisdom.

I invite you in.

A Special Kind of Love

Clarabelle5 Comments

“You can’t force love in another, all you can do is love yourself.” (Clarabelle)

I woke up this morning and that was the first thought that came into my head, so what does this mean?  For me, it means many things but the one true sentiment from this sentence is really about having self-love, only then will you attract real true love into your life.  Love attracts love and when you have self-love then you will be a magnet for pure love from another   This next poem is inspired by just that, focus on the power in you, put your energy into your own self-love and believe me, you will be surrounded with an abundance of love from others, that is a special kind of love.

A special kind of love

A Special Kind of Love

There is a special kind of love, dancing in me;

Flowing through my veins, setting me free.

A burning energy of joy, happiness and light;

Capturing my soul, in the heat of the night.

Focus on yourself, give attention to you;

Your spirit welcomes, pure love in what you do.

The right person will come, for they never left your side;

Self-love is your answer, hold it in your heart with pride.

What is a Talent?

Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath
Know your strengths

I would like to recommend a book to you today, it is called Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath, Tom is also a New York Times Bestselling Author of the book “Wellbeing”.  

I really love the Strengths Finder book because it helps you to identify what your top 5 strengths/talents are and provides you with a 19 page individualised report which coaches you into thinking how you can utilise your strengths more in your everyday life and work.

My top 5 strengths are:

1.  Futuristic – People who are especially talented in the Futuristic theme are inspired by the future and what could be. They inspire others with their visions of the future.

2.  Maximiser – People who are especially talented in the Maximiser theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something strong into something superb.

3.  Positivity – People who are especially talented in the Positivity theme have an enthusiasm that is contagious.  They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.

4.  Woo – People who are especially talented in the Woo theme love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person.

5.  Strategic –  People who are especially talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

The following poem is also inspired by the above, I do hope you like it.

What is a Talent?

What is a talent?  What is a strength?

How is it measured?  What is its length?

Only you, can experience the feelings,

Passionate moments, purposeful healings.

Recognise this quality, treasure it well,

Captivating hearts, like a magical spell.

Your audience awaits, imagination is high,

A hypnotic transcendence, go on just fly.
