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.

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.

It’s Okay To Feel Vulnerable
One of my coping mechanisms for releasing frustrations is to write poetry from my heart and soul. This next poem was created at a time when I was feeling a little stressed out and frustrated with myself and I know we’ve all been there, sometimes too often!! The purpose of me sharing this with you is because I feel through my own creative self-expression, there is much encouragement, support and positivity shining through, which may help you if you’re going through a similar experience right now. I want you to know that it is okay to feel vulnerable at times, actually, I believe now that showing vulnerability is often a real strength of integrity and authenticity. Give yourself permission to be who you really are, silence the overwhelmed mind and follow your heart. May you take comfort and courage from the following verse. Much love to you, Clarabelle.
Follow Your Heart
I feel frustrated, but no one knows;
How up and down I feel, but on the inside it shows.
So I take a time out, it’s time to express;
These random thoughts, are a bit of a mess.
But my mind feels strong, I prepared for it well;
The stresses keep coming, but I’m not in hell.
There is one part in balance, so I never fall;
Even though the ground is shaky, I’m walking tall.
I believe that this, pain will go;
I’ve built up an inner resistance, no matter what life does throw.
It’s teaching me something, and breaking old rules;
Changing me for the better, giving me new tools.
So I can mend, myself for good;
Uplifting my spirits, brightening my mood.
So when life gets you down, as it sometimes will;
You can create the way out – minus the pill.
Shine from within, follow your heart;
Your new life is waiting, soon you’ll never be apart.

Life Throws Us Many Challenges
Life throws us many challenges and sometimes just when you think you’ve got a little closer to the mountain top, darkness falls and fears and frustrations kick in. No one said life was ever going to be easy, but we must remember there are many things in life to be grateful for right now. Having an attitude of gratitude will become your inner torch, and will fill up your soul with an abundance of love and light. This next poem was written by me, during a challenging time in my life and my self expression through my poetry, at times, was my saving grace. I now share this with you in the hope that it will help you in some way to move forward regardless of the barriers that are in your way. Much love to you today and always, Clarabelle.
Keep a Strong Mind
Too many things, so much to do;
One day feeling bright, the other feeling blue.
At this age now, I look life in the eyes;
Where am I going? Where’s the surprise?
It’s gone a bit stale, I feel the dust;
I need to take action, this is a must.
The mountain is high, and the weather is bleak;
I must keep a strong mind, even though I feel weak.
Trudge, trudge, every step up the hill;
Moves me closer, this dream I will fulfill.
To escape in my imagination, makes me feel free;
It uplifts my spirits, like the wind’s carrying me.
For I come alive, when I write through my soul;
It opens the straight jacket, and fills up the black hole.
There are no boundaries, no pain my way;
The creativity is flowing, I’m listening to what I say.
It feels like magic, the words they come fast;
Meaningful moments, inspiration that lasts.
This feels easy, as I explore deep inside;
The experiences I hold, come in like the tide.
This I must do, it’s where I feel best;
Forget the distractions and let my mind just rest.
For here I find peace, just the silence and me;
My world is not empty, when I just be.

A Wonderful Human Being
Today is the anniversary of my Dad’s passing away in 1997 but I remember it all like yesterday. Even though he suffered with cancer for about 5 years I choose to remember him when he was happy, fit and healthy. What a wonderful human being he was, full of laughter, always singing and loved his family very very much and even though he is not here today I still feel his unconditional love around me, so very abundant and strong. When loved ones leave our life here on earth, I believe their loving spirit still shines upon us, more than we will ever know. Their love is surrounding you right now. Clarabelle
Here is the post which I shared before here on this blog:
His Loving Spirit Lives On
I initially had second thoughts about posting this poem, simply because it is extremely personal to me and tells the true story of my Dad’s fight with cancer over 15 years ago. Sadly, after battling with this disease for 5 years, he passed away on 1 February 1997. The reason why I decided to share this poem is because although it was in some places, painful to write, I do feel other people who have gone through a similar situation with their family members will be able to relate to it and hopefully help them to come to terms with their sad loss and be able to gently move on. I know everyone deals with grief differently and I think it took me about 5 years for the sadness to truly melt away. Now when I think of my Dad, I think of the wonderful, happy and outgoing person he was, this then makes me smile and so proud to be his daughter and part of his life…..his loving spirit lives on in every heart he touched and I know he touched many.
My Wonderful Dad
It was 15 years ago, when you passed away
I must admit, it was my saddest day
My heart felt heavy, from deep inside
I had lost my Dad, I had lost my guide
The tears were painful, unbearable at times
Red bloodshot eyes, were swollen signs
When all alone, I cried out my heart
The deepest sadness, when you did depart
I held your hand, a few days before
And took a last glance back, before I left the ward door
Something told me to look back, when visiting that night
It was 24 hours later, you gave up the fight
I was out with a friend, but didn’t want to go
You told me to ‘live on’ and for the sadness not to show
I came home that night, there was a cold chill in the air
I instantly knew, why no one was there
They were called to the hospital, late that night
You were taking your last breathe, and approaching the light
Everyone was there, except for me
Because I went out, very selfishly
I lived with that hurt, for a few years
Why wasn’t I with you, I cried so many tears
I think it took about 5 years to move on
It was a painful few years, when your presence was gone
But now when I think of my wonderful Dad
I remember the good times, never the sad
I celebrate your life years, there were 58
I was part of 23 and you made them great
You never lived a perfect life, worry got to you
It’s easy to blame, but we didn’t live in your shoes
I think of your singing, I think of your smile
I think of that waistcoat, you wore for a while
You were fond of the mirror, a poser you were
Talking to yourself, as you played with your hair
When you left for work, I missed you right away
When you arrived home, it made my day
You were always positive and friendly to all
You liked to use humour, to break down the brick walls
A charmer you were, fun and caring
A Dad in a million and a little bit daring
You sang at most weddings, with a few whiskys inside
You jigged on the dance floor and flirted with the bride
You loved a laugh and would welcome a crowd
You loved your family, they made you feel so proud
In this physical world, your body is away
In another dimension, your spirit lives on each day
Maybe I can’t see you, but you can see me
You can feel my spirit and its frequency
So I’m sending you this message after 15 years
Life is good Dad, we have no more tears
You are still greatly missed and always will be
You have an extended family, it’s so beautiful to see
As the years go by and the older we get
We must live in each moment, but never will forget
The loved ones of the past, who are present in our mind
Who live in our hearts and are one of a kind
We love you, we miss you and to hold you once more
Would be a dream come true, if you walked through that door
The tears of the past, are now gone forever
They ran down my cheek and joined the river
And as the river flows, my heart does to
It is joined by my soul and reaches out to you
Because on the crest of the wave, there you stand
Holding out your heart and holding out your hand
Thank you Dad, for in me you live
Thank you for the lessons and to others I now give
Live your best life, every moment of every day
Connect with your inner self and listen to what it says
Enjoy the journey, as you sail down the river
Because there are hearts and many hands helping you forever.

Moving from ‘Stuck’ to ‘Unstuck’
We’ve all had days when we feel a little bit ‘stuck’ and I include myself here, after all we are only human. It is possible for you to go from stuck to unstuck within moments and I believe the process for this is different for every person. When I created the poem below I was feeling in a ‘stuck’ place, but by the time I had finished the poem, I had moved to unstuck…the answer came from within and when I was in ‘creative flow’. What will you do today to help you move from a feeling of being ‘stuck’ to ‘unstuck’? There is a way, there is always a way, silence your mind, open your heart and let the answers flow. Much love to you, Clarabelle.
Today I Was Stuck
It’s nearly midnight, and I’m lying in bed;
I think of my inaction, before I rest my head.
Today I was stuck, I didn’t play the game;
Life got the better of me, unleash this chain.
Many brick walls, are in my way;
Built up by me, getting higher each day.
I kick and I punch, the battle is in me;
I’m fighting myself, this I can see.
So what do I do, to turn this around?
Inside is the answer, this I have always found.
Let go of the fight, it’s not a war anymore;
Staring at these four walls, will not open the door.
Step outside, breathe in the air;
Replenish your spirit, feel the wind in your hair.
Dust yourself down, and put a smile on your face;
Slowly walk down the path, and gradually pick up the pace.
To master the mind, it not about control;
Release that desire, and you’ll discover your soul.
Silence is golden, connect to the now;
The answers will come, and then you’ll know how.

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.

“It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me and I’m feeling good”…..these words beautifully sang by wonderful Mr Michael Buble, a very uplifting song indeed. If you or someone you know is needing their spirits uplifted, then maybe, just maybe this next poem might do it for them, share away, as it might make someone’s day. Lots of love to you, Clarabelle.
Rise and Shine
Wake up, wake up, rise and shine;
Get out of that bed, life is divine.
No more wallowing, in negative talk;
Get dressed, put your shoes on, and go for a walk.
Breathe in the fresh air, feel the light on your face;
Turn your life around, pick up the pace.
For no one can change you, you’ve heard it before;
Opportunity awaits you, open the door.
Make this one memorable, make it your goal;
To commit to a better future, this is your role.

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.

Sometimes when I’m writing, random thoughts and words come to mind and I just jot down what flows from me at that time. Sometimes it doesn’t really make sense to me at that moment but then afterwards I feel the message that is coming through. This next poem is created from that, full of random words with meaningful impact. I wish for you a day filled with meaningful actions towards your purpose. Lots of love Clarabelle.
The hand that writes,
the pen that sings,
words of beauty,
mystical things.
Line after line,
like motion in the ocean,
Sand in between my toes,
I love your potion.
All is magical,
I’m under your spell,
The stars call out to me,
above the wishing well.
And at the core of it all,
the child in me smiles;
A special connection,
on the golden miles.

Passion Keeps You Strong
To all my fellow bloggers, passion keeps you strong;
Expressions from your heart, that’s where you belong.
Creativity flows, when your soul talks to you;
Mesmerized in the moment, defining what you do.
I hear your calling, I feel it in your words;
The writing is on the wall, beneath the flight of birds.
Magic comes from you, you’re mystical for sure;
Your posts are like gold dust, to your audience they are so pure.

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.

My day job is an Executive Coach and I work with individuals to break through barriers and make positive changes in their life. Recently I have coached a few people who are doing just that, they are now ready and willing to face the stormy waters to eventually get to the calm sea ahead. The weather may be changeable and challenging at times but by riding the huge waves, it makes us stronger from within. Real change happens from the ‘inside out’, start there first. This indeed inspired this next poem.
Open the Door to Life
What’s stopping you, from dancing in the rain?
What’s keeping you, from moving away from the pain?
The clouds will move on, the sunshine will appear;
Uplifting your spirits and filling you with cheer.
Just take a moment, to treasure all you’ve got;
I bet when you really think about it, you have such alot.
Open the door to life, let the fresh air in;
Don’t let the bumps on the road, keep you from a win.
For there comes a time, when enough is enough;
Lift your head high and challenge the rough.
Soon you’ll be amazed, what you can achieve;
Smile with an open heart and really do believe.

Sometimes I feel like I could just explode with excitement and happiness and yesterday (05.01.13) was one of those days. So I grabbed a pen and paper wrote the following poem (well 8 in a row actually). Embrace life and all of its adventure, even in the toughest of tough times, there is great learning to be had. Open your arms to the world, live this life for you and nobody else. Have fun, dance in the moment and be brave in all that you do. May your day be filled with love and laughter. Much love to you Clarabelle.
Life is an Adventure
There’s fun in my heart, waiting to escape;
The invisible boundaries, cover it with red tape.
I’m bursting with song, love and laughter;
I’m on the move, towards happy ever after.
As I free my spirit, I wake up to the light;
The orange bird dances, wings spread in full flight.
Nothing seems real, imagination is high;
The past is forgotten, don’t ask why.
Discover, explore, all that’s in you;
Life is an adventure, make it come true.
Poem created by Clarabelle on 5 January 2013
We all go through some very tough times in life and for me it is no different. I have lived with my own inner battles and often find, that is when my creative self-expression is at its very best, because I am living the pain but moving forward at the same time. This next poem was written about a time in my life when I was in a challenging place, this I feel to me was a breakthrough poem. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, believe that and you shall see and experience that for yourself. Lots of love Clarabelle
Rescue Me
It’s been a tough old week,
Feeling stressed, and out of peak.
But by releasing the feelings,
It allows me, to start my healings.
I’ve cried and I’ve struggled with the pain,
But I’ll use my learning to recover again.
The answer is there,
In the darkness, I stare.
Asking for help, does anyone hear?
The answer is within, there is nothing to fear.
***
So I look at my life, from a helicopter above,
Amongst the clouds, I search for the dove.
I raise my body, out of my soul,
Floating above, I see my heart with a hole.
I begin to imagine, life is so dear,
Swimming in the bluest of oceans, near the edge of the pier.
I drift back down and join my mind,
By taking myself out, the answers I find.
To appreciate life, and all it will be,
Is discovering the truth, and then you will see.
***
That to end it all now, would not rescue me,
To not wake up tomorrow, will not set me free.
Emotions are high, and the tension is real,
But to give up now, on a punctured wheel,
Is to say that this low, will not change in time,
I’m in control, for this life is mine.
So I smile with a tear, and get off my bike,
This journey ain’t over, it’s a wonderful hike.
So I lift my head high, and carry on,
The horizon is so beautiful, and from dusk till dawn, I will stay strong.

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 walking home from my mum’s house the other day (17.09.12) and I found myself really embracing the moment, it was so beautiful and everything just felt perfect. A phrase popped into my head at that time, “the piano in my heart” and I just knew I had to write a poem about it. So here it is. Happy New Year to YOU…..Happiness is the Way!! Lots of love Clarabelle
Happiness is the Way
The piano in my heart, plays for you,
The sweetest musical notes, so whole and true.
The solitude of love, needs no home,
On this journey of life, wherever I do roam.
Happiness is the key, happiness is the way,
The polished ivory effect, shines today.
Listen in the silence, it whispers in the breeze,
Sparkling in the moonlight, stardust on the trees.
The voice within my soul, sings without a cue,
Touching my spirit, connecting with every part of you.

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!!

When we really stop and take a meaningful look at the beauty around us, only then do we see it and feel it. We have the power within us to magnify joy in each moment. Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder and I hope you choose to pause for a moment and open your eyes and heart to see it on this special celebratory day. This next poem is inspired by just that. Merry Christmas Everyone, Lots of Love Clarabelle.
Jump on that Cloud
The stars have no beauty, without your eyes,
Are the lights still shining? – Truth or lies.
Without your presence, nothing is real,
Nothing is enjoyed, no emotions you feel.
Paint a picture, of a world without time,
No space on earth, just simply sublime.
Let your imagination, stretch that far,
Outside of your reality, no sound from the guitar.
The magic is in you, do you see what I see?
Without your world, nothing can be.
The universe is calling, life is your gift,
Jump on that cloud, to your dreams you will drift.

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.

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.

What would if feel like if….?
You were dancing under, the starry sky,
And the music playing, was your natural high.
What would it feel like?
***
What would it feel like if….?
The sun blessed your face,
By smiling at you each morning, with a warm embrace.
What would it feel like?
***
What would it feel like if….?
You travelled the lands,
Your partner by your side, holding hands.
What would it feel like?
***
What would it feel like if…?
The happiness you feel,
Could be accessed each moment, so beautiful and real.
What would it feel like?
***
What would if feel like if….?
You had the job of your dreams,
Fulfilled in the doing, bursting with love at the seams.
What would it feel like?
***
What would it feel like if….?
Your mind was clear?
Full of positivity, absent from fear.
What would it feel like?
***
What would it feel like if…?
You had a genius mind,
Intelligent and knowing, one of a kind.
What would it feel like, if you had all that now?
Believe, ‘YES’, you have it, and you will feel WOW.

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.

My mum told me when I was a little girl, I loved to play out in the rain, it always felt very refreshing and free to me. I would be jumping in and out of puddles and catching raindrops on my tongue, it made me feel so happy. Nowadays, with my adult head on, I simply just go for a walk in the rain but I still love it. I suppose living in Scotland is the perfect place for me, because we always get lots and lots of rain, so I am spoiled really. I went for a walk in the rain the other day, which inspired the next poem. May the next raindrops that fall on you, cleanse your soul and uplift you to higher spirits. Lots of love Clarabelle.
A Walk in the Rain
A walk in the rain, refreshes your soul,
Ignites your dreams, explores your goal.
When the heart feels heavy, and all seems lost,
The answers are awakened, where once worry was the cost.
Think of freedom, as your mind escapes,
Into the space, to form cloudy shapes.
The view is still, silent whispers you will hear,
Every deep breath you take, banishes the fear.
All is beautiful, your vision is sweet,
Be at one with yourself, hear the music in your heartbeat.

Lately I have been noticing that things have been going my way, such as green traffic lights, people going out of their way to help me, smiles from strangers on the street, unexpected gifts, getting treated to lunch and receiving beautiful thank you notes. I am so so so grateful for the abundance that is in my life right now and I am even more grateful that I am aware of it. Stop for a moment today and think of 3 small things you are grateful for in your life right now, I know it will make you feel good. Lots of love Clarabelle
Green is for Go
Green is for go, I see it everywhere,
Moving me forward, it’s so special and rare.
The key to the door, the answer to my prayers,
The blossoming of the flower, uncovering deep layers.
The sparkle in the sky, the smile on the street,
An abundance of joy, dancing in my feet.
The seasons have changed, a new freshness is in the air,
Autumn leaves fall, and softly touch my hair.
I’m switched on to life, glowing at night,
Such a beautiful opening, I’m now in full flight.

It’s amazing what can grow out of a tiny little seed. By giving the right care, attention and nutrition, what at first is like a tender little plant, can turn into a strong, gracious and radiant tree. Take a look at yourself, take time to nurture at the roots and this fulfilling nourishment will create an abundance of graciousness and radiance within you. This poem is all about that. Wishing you a fabulous day full of warmth, energy and loving nurture, Clarabelle.
Little Plant
It was passed to me, with love and care,
A tiny seed, no leaves it did wear.
Its eyes perched, above the yellow pot,
Searching for the sun, so warm and hot.
I gave it water, I fed it well,
I’m sure it listened, I could tell.
It grew stronger, day by day,
Branching out, in a wonderous way.
It took time and patience from me,
Then this little plant, turned into a tree.
And now it blooms, in my garden so fair,
Covered in leaves, it no longer is bare.
The right nutrients, did it good,
Sowing seeds with love, is the best food.

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.

Today (2nd August 2012) I finished reading the book, “The Ultimate Happiness Prescription” by Deepak Chopra, in which it gives you 7 keys to joy and enlightenment. I found this book to be extremely fascinating and truly ‘mind-expanding’ on a much deeper and more personal level. I just love this quote from the book, “If you focus on the present, your life will be constantly renewed”, this for me is such a refreshing thought. This next poem is inspired by happiness. May your day be filled with an abundance of happiness. Love Clarabelle
Happiness, Happiness
Happiness, happiness, where are you?
It’s a gift of the present, the awareness of what you do
The path to enlightenment, is right at your feet
You stand in its doorway, and breathe its heartbeat
See the world in yourself, you create what is here
Not in the past or future, happiness now is so clear
Make it your goal, to give each moment a smile
Your spirit comes alive, when you are still for a while

The creative spirit uplifts the imagination to another dimension and produces art that moves the soul. In this moment, I am listening to inspirational music and I am in ‘flow’, taking action and embracing the true beauty of life, this next poem is for you.
The falling star, shoots from the sky
Paradise captures, the reason why
It glistens and sparkles, for all to see
Magic in the air, oneness in me
It uplifts my mood and takes me there
Awakens my heart, soul stripped bare
Light as a feather, I dance and sing
The white dove has taken me, under its wing
True beauty is life, if we see it that way
Tomorrow is not here yet, let’s live for today

I was out running today (08.10.12) in the very beautiful autumn sunshine, it felt so wonderful. I was running up hill and could see I was approaching a group of young children (about 4 years old) with their nursery school teachers, it looked like they had been on a mini adventure. They had all been told to stop to make room on the path for the ‘lady runner’, and as I run towards them, I was given the most amazing, heartwarming waves and smiles from them, with one little girl in particular shouting an excited ‘hi’ from the top of her voice and spreading much happiness from within. It was such a beautiful, treasured moment and it really has made me smile all day. This next poem is inspired by all those cute little angels I crossed paths with today. May your day be filled with sparkles and smiles, love Clarabelle
The Spirit of an Angel
The spirit of an angel, smiled at me,
A beautiful child in the moment, loving and carefree.
The sweetest gift, with such a sparkle in her eyes,
Wholesome and heartfelt, a miracle surprise.
The true magic of such, a youthful soul,
Creates the most precious diamonds, out of coal.

This next poem is inspired by enjoying each moment, embracing the now and manifesting the dreams that you desire. I wrote this poem whilst feeling in the ultimate moment of contentment, tranquility and happiness. May you manifest each moment to your advantage on this creative journey of life. Love Clarabelle
Manifesting Dreams
This moment is calm, a feeling of bliss,
No thoughts of the future, or pasts I have missed.
Just embracing the now, as I quietly think,
A connected soul, heart and spirit, intertwined in link.
This feels precious inside, so touching indeed,
Contentment and tranquility, has taken the lead.
By appreciating this life, and fueling the fire.
I’m manifesting dreams and all I desire.

I wrote this poem only yesterday (20.04.12), it is about a recent time in my life when I was unwell and felt trapped in the situation. Thankfully the sun is shining on me now but I remember those stormy days where I had to use every ounce of my inner strength to keep me sane and battle on…..it is in these difficult times in life when the courageous soul emerges with open arms, you just have to believe it is there.
Through the darkest moments and darkest days – where is the light?
When my mind feels trapped and I cannot sleep, into the night
What a horrible feeling, when times are tough
The way out is lonely, the weather is rough
My soul is a prisoner, to all I have thought
My heart it feels dead but it cannot be bought
My values are here – an inner guidance they bring
Like the first musical note, before I do sing
They keep me sane and hold me together
They carry me forward, like I’m light as a feather
As I trudge through the snow, I call out my name
Keep going, don’t stop, treat life as a game
The character within me, fights through the shell
I punch and I kick, until I feel well
In this battle, although the bruises give me pain
No blood has been shed and inner strength I did gain
And as time passes by, the emotional scars they do fade
I walk into the sunlight and out of the shade

‘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.

I have been working very very hard lately and not had much of a break, so now I think it is time to let my hair down a little and have some fun. After all, it can’t always be work, work, work, even though I do love what I do, it really is nice to have a break and dance to the sound of the music. This next poem is all about that – go on have some fun!!
Sometimes you have, to let fun in
Life without it, can be a little bit dim
Feel the excitement, enjoy it for a while
Let you hair down and your face it will smile
Jump to the music, just let go
Treasure the moment, let fun flow
My head’s in a spin, this feels so good
Embrace the happiness, within your mood
Now is the time, to banish all blues
Have a wonderful day, dancing in your shoes

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.
poemsbyclarabelle, 4 October 2012
I’m about to make some life changing decisions in the very near future, decisions that I feel will positively shape my life forever, new endings will meet with new beginnings and a new chapter of my life will become alive. So how do I know if I am making the right decision? I can honestly say that I am a values-driven person and I will use by values as my inner guidance to ultimately support the right choice for me. After all, how else can I ensure I be deeply authentic to myself if I don’t honour my values. It’s all about nourishing your heart and that’s what inspired this next poem for you.
Values are your inner guidance, that’s what I believe
Honouring your values, will help you to achieve
They live inside of you, keep your soul on track
Holding you together, never looking back
They hold the golden key, to a life that’s true for you
Filling up your senses, in what you choose to do
Decisions in each moment, to always meet your needs
Nourishing your heart, planting little seeds
I am values driven, the steering wheel is mine
Living life on purpose, it feels so mighty fine.

I wanted to make up a poem for my friend who has recently celebrated her 60th birthday. She absolutely loves the colour yellow and every time I visit her house it is surrounded by the beautiful brightness of this sunshine colour. May your day be filled with the magical joy and enlightenment of sunshine yellow. Lots of love Clarabelle
Sunshine Yellow
Young at heart, that’s certainly you,
Effervescent, in all that you do.
Love is abundant, in your magical soul,
Life’s energy surrounds you, fulfilling and whole.
Outgoing and fun, sunshine smiles all around,
Wonderful friend, and happy spirit I have found.

Drift into your dreams, feel happy inside,
Realise your potential, fill your heart with pride.
Energise your soul, let it take your breath away,
Aim as high as you can, connect with the synergy.
Make your dreams come true, forever inspiring….forever YOU.

Self discovery for me is in the search for paradise. What do I mean by that? So there is this place that my mind goes to every 20 years or so, I picture it quite clearly and I call it ‘paradise’. I used to think paradise for me was a place but now I realise it is a metaphor I use to create a special feeling inside of me, the most beautiful feeling in the world, that no words can describe. What does paradise give me? It takes me to who I am today, right now and it helps me answer the most challenging questions- only by connecting to my inner self can I get the true answer for me. This is a hard one for me to explain but I know it works. I trust you will discover your own paradise one day, maybe you are already there and if you are, I know you are smiling now because you have found your soul in solitude. This next poem is inspired by paradise. Love Clarabelle
The Path to Paradise
I visualise paradise, alone I am there,
Pale blue skies, the freshest of sea air.
The whitest sands, you ever could see,
Stillness in life, happiness in me.
Oneness with the world, beauty at its best,
Breathing in life’s energy, my body is at rest.
The path to paradise, is the ultimate start,
Escapism from earth, bliss within the heart.
Turn on your imagination, experience it all,
Enlighten your spirit, let your soul fall.
