Creating My World
I touch the heaven inside of me
Flowing, boundless, creating my reality.
Always changing, twisting, transforming
Beliefs morphing, still being born, forming.
All before me limitless
Unending joy, pure bliss.
Listening, tapping into the whispers that surround
Nature’s miracles through my eyes abound.
A spirit transcending time and space
Manacles broken, no longer in a race.
Moment to moment the scene will change
As I try to capture it just out of range.
A word, a melody, the light
With pen and paint our senses delight.
So harness the wind, oh I think you can
Creating your world with a wave of your hand.

the opening thought is pretty cool….the heaven inside me…
what a relationship we have with creation….we hopefully join in it
as opposed to working against it….
That opening line was what came to me and the rest just flowed from there….it does feel like heaven when we connect with our ‘inside heaven’. Frustrating when we do work against it.
And so we can ~ I specially like this part:
All before me limitless
Unending joy, pure bliss.
Isn’t it amazing Grace to know we can be limitless if we allow ourselves…so glad you enjoyed the poem!
I like the idea of touching the heaven inside….rather than reaching out, reaching inward. So true that ‘moment to moment the scene will change….’ And hopefully we are there with a pen to write it down. Smiles.
Oh I do so agree with you Mary….trying to capture those moments.
Ourselves is what we find inside.. I think only by reaching inside we can truly absorb the outside.
Agree Bjorn….looking inside at myself has unleashed so much creativity, and I see with new eyes.
love the opening line,
a heaven inside us or all of us,
that’s our dream and goal in life.
It is Sheila…and that goal keeps my pen writing.
very powerful talents.
Thanks so much for your kind comment!
I like to think we all have a bit of heaven inside of us..we just need to open our eyes and hearts to experience the beauty.
Perfectly stated Truedessa….tapping into it is amazing.
This is so uplifting to read……and the photos are glorious!
I am so pleased you found it uplifting Sherry.
I love the pink lotus mosaic, so pretty. And the heaven inside ~ so much beauty can be created from within. A lovely post, Donna! 🙂
Thanks so much Loredana…..there is so much creativity within ourselves.
I felt my own spiritual journey catalogued in this piece. So much is universal!
That is so amazing Kim ….I do think creativity is a spiritual journey.
What a lovely post.. Your poem is beautiful and the waterlilies are gorgeous.. Lovely images.. Have a happy week ahead!
Wishing you a beautiful week Eileen, and I hope it is warm.
What a talented and generous person you are Donna. Your poetry is lovely — I really believe in the concept of creating one’s world. We can make it what we want — if only we can remember to do so. The heart mosaic is so creative and so beautiful .
Sallie isn’t it amazing when we realize we can create our world how much is suddenly open to us…..freeing, liberating and soulful! So happy you really liked the poem and pictures.

If only we could harness the wind…lovely poem and pretty pink waterlilies.
Thank you for linking to Mosaic Monday Donna.
Some days i believe I can harness that wind Judith!
Makes me feel a little like flying, this breezy dance with the wind!

Oh you see so much inside of me Jennifer….definitely flying on the wind being swept up in all its glory!
“So harness the wind, oh I think you can
Creating your world with a wave of your hand.”
We can indeed! What a beautiful visual. Thank you.
My favorite lines too Elizabeth….so glad you liked it!
Having two blogs of those magnitudes is very impressive. I also have two with almost similar type though separate time and space, but can’t really do them full time. I congratulate you for the quality of your sites. Congratulations and more power.
Andrea I am very humbled…thank you for your wonderful comment!

I am pleased Sumana that you liked this!
This is lovely, Donna! We are the one who set the limit to the world we create. And when we create it must be clear that we also take full responsibility for all the actions we makes & used to create this world. Smiles.
Absolutely Kelvin…there is great responsibility with life.
loved the opening line
It was amazing when those words came to me and the rest just flowed right along.
Well this lifted me up – life truly is what you make it…or create it
I think it truly is that simple Jae Rose….thank you for your thoughts!
This is delightful, Donna. I love how you are spreading your wings and flying wherever your heart takes you!
It has been freeing letting go and flying….thanks Ginnie!
One of your best Donna. Very inspiring.
Oh Donna that means a lot to me! Thank you.
Donna this is so beautiful. The entire post is a prayer. We do have a heaven within. We need to unleash it, allow it to thrive. I love how you write this. Your photo is lovely. And thank you for your generous gift for downloading.

Yes Gillena you read that I ask us all to look inside to create….so happy you saw that!
Oh, this is magical to ‘touch the heaven inside of me’ and create your own world….Love the rhythm, sounds like a song!
I had not considered that but yes it does flow like a song….thank you for that observation.
Lotus flowers symbolize serenity to me, perhaps because of the way they float effortlessly on the water. Beautiful photos.
Thanks Lorrie…the flowers do seem to bring a sense of serenity.
Lovely sentiments, lovely phrases
Thanks so much Rosemary!
the waves of our hands make lots of beautiful arts….
profound wording..
Thank you….it is amazing what we can weave with the wave of our hands.
Yes we create heaven here and now.
