Sailing to byzantium By W. B. Yeats - Inspirational poem ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to show your support? Become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Talk_Talks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sailing to Byzantium BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS I That is no country for old men. The young In one another's arms, birds in the trees, —Those dying generations—at their song, The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas, Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long Whatever is begotten, born, and dies. Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unageing intellect. II An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick, unless Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing For every tatter in its mortal dress, Nor is there singing school but studying Monuments of its own magnificence; And therefore I have sailed the seas and come To the holy city of Byzantium. III O sages standing in God's holy fire As in the gold mosaic of a wall, Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre, And be the singing-masters of my soul. Consume my heart away; sick with desire And fastened to a dying animal It knows not what it is; and gather me Into the artifice of eternity. IV Once out of nature I shall never take My bodily form from any natural thing, But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make Of hammered gold and gold enamelling To keep a drowsy Emperor awake; Or set upon a golden bough to sing To lords and ladies of Byzantium Of what is past, or passing, or to come. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Scott Buckley- Released under CC-BY 4.0- www.scottbuckley.com.au Music: Static By: Scott Buckley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chK8ej1rP9M -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk Talks Podcast Liked it?

Roll The Dice by Charles Bukowski, inspirational poem ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to show your support? Become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Talk_Talks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roll the Dice by Charles Bukowski if you’re going to try, go all the way. otherwise, don’t even start. if you’re going to try, go all the way. this could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe your mind. go all the way. it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days. it could mean freezing on a park bench. it could mean jail, it could mean derision, mockery, isolation. isolation is the gift, all the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. and you’ll do it despite rejection and the worst odds and it will be better than anything else you can imagine. if you’re going to try, go all the way. there is no other feeling like that. you will be alone with the gods and the nights will flame with fire. do it, do it, do it. do it. all the way all the way. you will ride life straight to perfect laughter, it’s the only good fight there is. ---------------------------------------------- Title 1: The Evening Fog Artist: Twelve Titans Music Composer: David Edwards Album: Satellite ------------------------------------------ Liked it?

Inspirational poem, Try God By Darlene Thomas ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to show your support? Become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Talk_Talks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Try God by Darlene Thomas When things in life are not going right, stop, think, meditate and pray and ask God to help you fight the fight. Don’t try to do things all alone. Let go and allow God to make you strong. When other people do you wrong as they so often do, Remember, God is working through others to raise you, Raise you up to where HE wants you to be, So that the whole world will see G - O - D. In every choice or decision that you make, ask God, "Is this the right path for me to take?" Every word that you speak, pray and ask God to help you say it righteously. Everything your hands find to do, Do it for the Lord and He will see you through. God has the power to open doors for you. Just learn to WAIT patiently, live faithfully and righteously, and you will be amazed at what Almighty God can do. https://www.poemsource.com/christian-... -------------------------------- Music: Title: Solstice By: Ross Bugden    / @rossbugden   --------------------------------

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? (Sonnet 18) William Shakespeare - 1564-1616 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to show your support? Become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Talk_Talks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st. So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Liked it?

Inspirational poem, Prayer By Richard Palmer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to show your support? Become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Talk_Talks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prayer One more morning,after one more night, One more thanks for keeping things right, One prayer to bed,one as you rise, Good morning God,thanks for another sun rise, Prayer is the fuel that keep us going, Through troubled times,pray for strength keep rowing, And without fear step out,face the unknowing, Although all around negativity blowing, Every day,even one positive seed,try sowing, Within my veins,God love is flowing, God is my friend,the devil,not interested to know him, Here comes the garbage truck,over there throw him, Don't just say you love God,pray show Him, Remember prayer keeps us, spiritual growing...

Poem About Peace - IF By John William Brown - Peace In Our Name ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to show your support? Become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Talk_Talks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IF If you use bombs that when exploding spray A thousand darts called flechettes, overhead, Knowing that such will obviously flay The skin from flesh of children who have fled From homes you phoned to say, “Go! Run away! We’re targeting your house but can’t say why!” If you wipe out whole towns within a day, Destroy civilian lives then spread the lie, That you can’t help it, they were human shields. Then you’re less than the swine that you don’t eat, More led and less than sheep within your fields, More stupid than the slogans that you bleat; If you herd people, trap them in their lands, Denying them utilities and aid, Then you create a debt you never planned: Blood money’s interest, accrued and paid; Destroy your hearts while you destroy their wells, Or, knowingly bomb their schools and hospitals, Then bring upon yourself your future hells That will return your own mercy, in full; If you use bombs tipped with uranium On simple plaster houses by the sea, Or drop white phosphorous, fierce as the sun, You cease to be part of humanity; If you have gained their world, without a care, Staked out their land, consciously undermined The dignity of all whom once lived there, You lose the soul that made you humankind; If you imprison nations and won’t swerve To find a human way, which you can do, Know that you get what you do not deserve: The pure compassion they may offer you. © John William Brown 12 August 2014 https://peaceinourname.com/if John William Brown was born in 1947 in London.

Inspirational poem, O Fear By Anisha Joseph, Powerful Life Poetry ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to show your support? Become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Talk_Talks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- O Fear By Anisha Joseph You made me run away from those who loved me anyway. You pushed me down into the vanity, blindfolded me from every reality. I thought I wasn't good enough. You made my existence so tough. O fear, now I realize, it was all a bluff, and you have already played enough. I lost many opportunities, and now that I am sure of my priorities, I believe I will break through as life always gives a next chance to you. Remember to rise up, and it's okay to fall. This world around you can't define you at all. Be courageous, have an ambition. Be ready to go beyond every limitation. Building a wall of fear will keep you in the dark forever, keeping you unaware of what you are capable of.
