Everyday with poetry #7 -- Beech Street

 12:29 pm 

Beech Street by Robert G Parent 

I travel down Beech Street. It's been awhile I lived here. It's weird because I travel a new road now with new experiences. 

Was this what Robert Frost thought many years ago when he wrote, "The Road Less Traveled." 

Road as an image of going to or moving away, we all have these roads. Road as an image of class of rich or poor, manicured or dirt. 

But, I think road as a journey, a journey of growth, even if I stand still before a decision. I'm still on the journey of growth, either spiritual or another type. 

Whether I go toward sunset or sunrise, my journey continues. A new road is before me. I lift up my foot for the first step, toward growth and walk a new path. 

Everyday with Poetry #6 -- Sacred Space

Check out my video where I hiked Arathusa Falls and found a sacred space in the woods of New Hampshire at ArathusaFalls

Sacred Space by Robert G Parent 

In a world of Technical and Social wonder, I seek that special space, that sacred space. 

To walk in a Church, to walk among the woods, to feel something bigger, to feel changed, I walk with purpose. 

To remember a way of being, to feel at one with the All -- with God, I crave the sacred, to be a re-plucked guitar string and become New. 

Everyday poetry #5 -- Everyday Illusion

Everyday Illusion 

by Robert G Parent

See the illusion in everyday actions 

Where do they come from 

The choices we make 

Based upon our beliefs 

We have in the moment 

Know that 

What we believe changes 

From time to time 

Based on who we are trying to become in that moment 

And about who we think we are 

We create what we think about 

To create differently 

Think different 

And become something new.

Everyday Poetry #4 -- Life's News

Life's News 

 by Robert G Parent 

My shirts spinning in the machine 

News of the day on TV 

People talking about Life's issues 

In the laundromat. 

 Cars travel on the road outside 

 People in their homes 

 Watching movies, sports, and shows 

 All life is centered in the laundromat. 

 Here in Washington, DC 1600 Pennsylvania avenue down the road My shirts spinning in the machine 

People talk about Life's issues, 

All life is centered in the laundromat.

Sacred Places

Here is some poetry from the White Mountains. 

Sacred Places 

by Robert G Parent 

Go into stores 

Restaurants or anywhere 

Bring your mask 

For it's required wear 

Day upon day 

Week upon week 

Many months we did 

I long for the natural way 

A walk in the woods 

Or even a national forest 

To feel those energies 

To hear those sounds 

To see awesome things 

Within a forest canopy 

No masks 

No cities 

No negativity 

Just beauty 

Beauty we all long for 

Come ye enter 

The land of peace 

In nature's sacred places 

And re-balance
