Poets' Corner - Voice Dialogue in Poetry ________________________________________________ GOD PARTS When I can embrace All the parts of me Maybe then I can see How God sees me by Neil Meili ___________________________________________________ VOICE DIALOGUE The facility of the facilitator to facilitate depends on the faces of the facilitator the facilitator has the facility to face by Neil Meili ___________________________________________________ BONDING PATTERNS Although it may not be apparent to you the non apparent parent in you is more than apparent to me Although to be perfectly fair it's not likely I'll mess with a hair as long as you're taking good care But when it gets too big for its thighs when it starts to guilt and to criticize Something will change in a blink of our eyes and it'll be fighting with something its size Even though it may not be apparent to me I'm gonna go running to the parent in me If I tell my Dad he'll have something to say and if I tell my Mom there'll be hell to pay by Neil Meili _________________________________________________________________________ The Parade I sit in silence. I close my eyes. I fold my hands. My intention: to surrender to Him. But suddenly, the inner meditator transformed into a single spectator. A spectator to a Parade. The Grand Marshall, my inner organizer holding banners with lists and lists of my unfinished plans and tasks and dreams. Others follow holding posters featuring yesterday's events: what I said how I said it what I should have said instead The Parade concludes with my inner critic chanting her favorite mantra: "You failed to meditate correctly once again!" "You failed to meditate correctly once again!" So, I readjust my posture, I sit in silence with closed eyes and folded hands. This time with no intention, none. by Yolanda Koumidou ________________________________________________________________ REED BETWEEN THE LIONS My mother's will was always stronger than my won't My father's won't was always stronger than my will Caretaker soft or Cowboy strong How quick I learned to change my face to face the faces that I faced And I can still spin that mirror now so you can see the face you want to see But neither you nor I will know which one is me by Neil Meil ________________________________________________________________ RELUCTANT SHE RISES Reluctant she rises from morning love The voice of a million things to do Argues with the voice of the perfect moment Slowly concedes and falls back into a purr by Neil Meili ______________________________________________________________ A Conversation with God -When will I begin living in my House? Renting rents me homeless. God, help me find the road to my House. -I never stopped showing you! But every station, you treat as destination, you get lost. When you do get a glimse of It you let in crowds. I Am with you in your House. Close the Door. Visit through your Windows. Be careful who you let in. This is sacred ground. This is My House. by Yolanda Koumidou-Vlesmas ___________________________________________________ THERA AFTERNOON Black cat sleeps dreams flickering on an eye long since blind by Neil Meili ___________________________________________________ THE EGGSHELL Lately I've been feeling so empty and more fragile than ever before Everything I believed in is gone Desperate I turn my jagged edges to the world Step on me with sensitive feet, you will be sorry with lumbering boots, I will be crushed by Neil Meili   ___________________________________________________ Psychic Fingerprint There is a Dance you dance alone. You hear the music, You feel the beat, You move. This, is Your Dance. God, your only witness. The rhythm, familiar only to Him. He composed it, Just for you. by Yolanda Koumidou-Vlesmas   Go to Top [Home] [Articles by Hal & Sidra Stone] [FAQs] [Articles by Others] [Book Chapters] Voice Dialogue International  PO Box 604  Albion, CA 95410   Phone: (707) 937-2424  Fax: (707) 937-4119 www.voicedialogue.org Email: info@voicedialogue.org
