Mind Full vs Mindful

Mind Full vs Mindful
by Rachel Hoyt

Mind Full:
Push-pull.
Want. Need.
Must feed.
Warp speed!

Mindful:
Be cool.
Watch. See.
Love free.
Just be.

A Rhyming Prayer for Easter

I feel it is time to change the focus of Rhyme Me a Smile. While I may highlight news articles as inspiration occasionally, my poetry has become an integral part of my spiritual journey and I feel called to begin sharing those thoughts here. The poem below was inspired by my discovery of New Thought (a spiritual belief system) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to which its adherents subscribe.

Make Me a Twinkling Star

by Rachel Hoyt

I wish upon the stars tonight.

I pray I may,

I hope I might,

Give the world

All love and light,

Help push darkness

Out of sight -

Kill with kindness,

Accept fright,

Cherish oneness,

Sparkle bright.

I wish to spread your Divine light,

To twinkle for you day and night.

Two Tricube Poems About My Firey Personality

I decided to try out a new poetry form, the Tricube. A few hours later, I found myself staring at these two poems, wondering which one conveys my sentiments more clearly. I would love to hear what you think.

Heartfire

by Rachel Hoyt

I try hard

to tone it

down for you,

But flare ups

and blow ups

just happen.

My soul won't

extinguish

its heartfire.

On Fire

by Rachel Hoyt

I'm on fire

all the time,

burning bright.

You love to 

watch me burn

and add fuel,

Then you say,

"Keep the heat

to yourself."
