The Shift Poem by Barbara Nixon

The Shift

Rating: 4.8


There's an undercurrent of change sweeping city and dale

a quiet awakening of old secrets buried deep,

in the psyche and the hearts, uncoiling like a snake

leaving hopeless ways behind and transformation in its wake.


We'll arise like a newborn and face the sun with eyes anew,

our days of grief and plundered hearts, plagued by man's old failings

will disappear like ghoulish ogres into the mists of the weary past

and to the new awakened world, our spirits will hold fast.

I am fully and 100 % with you on this. The positive energy in this world is increasing. It is a silent revolution that is going on unsen in the media. A kindness revolution is around the corner. I got this 'yes' experience reading this poem Let us work all to make this SHIFT a huge reality. Perhaps 21.12.12. is a good day to reach a sharp rise in the exponential curve of kindness Nobody and nothing can stop the shift If I had a 100 marks to give to this poem, you got them
