“You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and stars, you have a right to be here.” This could prevent suicides.
I was looking for this comment. I started crying at that point. It's so gentle yet powerful.
I wish I had known it in the past.
My silence morning awaken
Outside Window winds are in the air blowing,
I saw the light wave of sounds
Like the loveliest pen written
fulfill an empty fate
The strangest words mountains of dreams,
Looking out embraced everlasting life
With burning mind, 💓 heart like Autumn fall, give to you the last you love
Honor, anger love, that's life
So far, forget me not, embrace that freaking awesome dreams
Forever light
Speech the 💓 heart for the short of words,
And a things not seen with eyes
With a green, pinky broken hope for a sweet love pillows at night.
BLESSED COMPOSER.
@@mirnasavic917 I felt the same as you. I was like crying.
So true❤
I am in hospice, and these poems bring me comfort during dark days. Thank you.
How do u use a phone in a hospice tho?
Dear Carol bless your heart.. sending you love 💕
Peace be with you 💞
Peace to you sister. So nice to share this enjoyment with fellow travelers. God bless you.
Tranquility and peace to you, you are not alone .
These are not just words nor phrases, these are life's burning torches to guide us through this journey called Life!
Exactly. Very aptly articulated. They are burning torches to serve as guiding lights.
So profound
These poems are so much more meaningful than any damn motivational poster.
And every wannabe Motivational Speaker lest we forget!! . . .
Ha, ha, we had one of these poems on the wall growing up, in the form of a motivational poster - for when you can't hear them read by such a great voice.
Absolutely! 🌹
Thank you for sharing your past with us. And what you said was very true. How was it different for you as a younger person to read the same poem ln later years?
@@Michael-cq7lq I was referring to Desiderata, and I think when I was younger the words carried a tone of almost rebellion, a sort of FU to the "rulers" of society, a kind of how the world should be. Now they are more about how I should be. Never considered that before, thanks for asking :0)
deep in Africa, facing the most terrible financial crise with my companies, but yet alone in the mist of night i hear these poems telling me i still have to fight. they speak to the broken heart of a black life.
I’m sorry to hear of your struggle, Arthur - but not of your courage. Powerful comment born of powerful experience it sounds. May you find all you need and the strength within to bear under all that comes - as you continue to, surely, brighter days ahead. I wish you well. - Paige
You are so right .. it's the only way that we can keep our ship from sinking in this storm, the storm of life even before the events of this day...
For we are not the first to have been tested.. here on Earth...
And all of our forbarers have gone to their graves, yay...
We must continue it is a mortal commandment from the highest echelon that exists in the universe.. this law of our Father in Heaven...
Just strengthen fortitude.. for it is against eternal law to throw the towel in and give up...
@@paigehodges I read your words, I hear them resonate in my mind and feel your empathy in the heart, I am grateful. Entrepreneurs are made to break, raise and overcome don't mind the misty day, I am surely building a Legacy for my continent and the world..
@@janaprocella8268 I am grateful , the univers is so tight, let's feel free to build solidarity. Thanks
Brother, hopefully time has allowed a new perspective and some of your storm has passed. Thank you for sharing your trouble. We have all experienced our own struggles and those that do, succeed and maybe not in our original path, but come through we do. Peace.
"With all of its shams, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."
“I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul.” How true!

There's many of us
First one made me cry, what an incredible poem for younger people to hear.
Dude, i found it yesterday, no joke, had it on repeat since. And hey, now you get to har it again. Wb
Been listening to the 1st for more than 2 years & every time I listen to, i get tears. Alhamdulillah Allah has been grateful on me lately.
“Silence is a source of Great Strength.”
“To a mind that is still the whole universe surrenders.”
“Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.”
“Be still. Stillness reveals the secrets of eternity”

The eyes are attracted to the light, but the mind is trapped in the shadows. Luckily, some nights do not last forever. We are all like the bright moon, we all have a darker side. Tough times never last BUT tough people do 🖖
...that’s very good..and true to..how true....The Heart of the Stars is the Way of the Earth/ Heaven’s rejoice in all our Becomings/For those in need I give a Lightning Steed/ This is the MIRROR you have born to See..TO BE🌈
....but the mind is trapped in the shadows....⚡️
Tough enuff, and soft enough for the woodworker.
@@cosmicman621 : or it an illusion?
Absolutely! Great minds think alike..
Those who identified with "defeat" by gibran, his other literature is lovely too, highly recommend them
I was in tears all through & as if that wasn’t enough I kept rewinding it ....again and again
Big fan of his. A lot in me is shaped by his writings.
"My Deathless Courage".........That one is just so.......Spiritual. Like.....There is a part of you that will never die. Phenomenal stuff!
Gibran is a master! I adore his works and have been shaped by his wisdom. Most excellent.
1000years of blessing to everyone who likes with faith 🙏
Faith in what god? A blessing from you based on a condition of faith in god?
Be at peace your mind seems at war friend.@@realAzoreschildinUSA
As someone that was without a father at birth. IF by Rudyard Kipling gives me chills every time I listen to it. I have set my own example of the man I need and yearn to be. I can read this poem hundreds and thousands of times as I have and it still gives me goosebumps. The man I need to be through the good times and the bad. Bad times are here and I am going to pull through with this added strength and wisdom.
Same...
The voice gives it way more effect
Definitely makes it more emotional and impactful. I really wasn’t into poetry before this channel but now I am
@@torin6258 me too, really gets you thinking
@joshua james is amazing how the voice can make you see something in a different way tho
The voice the voice the voice

The narrator's voice makes the poems even more powerful ❤️❤️
no doughs
Whose voice
Whose voice
Defeat, My Defeat is one of the most powerful poems I have heard in my lifetime; how it resonates deep in my soul; it heals my brokenness and sets my heart at ease. I feel every word.
Yes. It gets better the more life experience you get. The deepness of that poem is lifelong
Yes i totally agree, this and Man in the arena, is life changeing poems
That William Ernest Henley poem gave me chills! Powerful delivery! Subbed.
The most evil trick ever pulled on men was convincing them that poetry was ever unmasculine, when the words of men like Emerson, Kipling and Henley have taught me more about what it is to be a man than I could have learned in a thousand lifetimes.
I believe that they were all anointed by God the Father.... Special angels as it were... To reach us with more than just Bible verses or commandments could ever do...! 😉
ACCORDING TO THE GOLDENNESS OF YOUR SOUL AND YOUR DEEP SPIRIT PURITY YOU CAN CONSIDER YOURSELF AMONG THE ANOINTED OF GOD... IN THIS EARTHLY SOJOURN...
BEING SURE THAT YOU TEACH NOT ONLY YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR FAMILY WITH NO WORDS THAT UTTER FROM YOUR OWN MOUTH THAT COME OUT OF A RICHNESS OF CHARACTER.. A CHARACTER OF INTELLIGENCE AND COMPASSION, AND EMPATHY FOR AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN WHILE YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE REACH FAR AND WIDE AND TRY TO SPREAD THE WISDOM THAT THESE MEN EMBODY...
Agreed
Poetry is rock and roll in a real sense. It always has been and always will be the closest we can get to speaking truth of the heart. can never
In full agreement with you, TJ Blaidd. And that is an understatement.. The fact that the word 'masculine' is under a cloud of late is one of the saddest occurrences since sliced bread. Just joking. But I am serious here, so make that '..since the big bang'. Honestly. The idea that striving for some honour, pride and steadfastness is considered toxic nowadays is very very unfortunate. This poetry is so powerful, has so much clout. Perhaps people shy away from it because it is so confronting, such a nose-rub telling you how meagre the catch is that you landed on the shores of the sea that is Life. Then again it must be understood (I think) that 'man' and 'men' oftentimes are metaphors, denoting or connoting 'person' or 'persons'. This is rather obvious. Poetry is all about connotation and implying the unsayable. Furthermore, one-syllable-words have special status in poetry for they are the embodiment of condensement. Also, 'person' is the least sexy word imagineable. Having said that, I vividly recall how a clutch of young teachers at a Department of English in a Northern town in The Netherlands at one time collectively scathingly dismissed the poem 'If" by R. Kipling, predominantly I felt, because of the last line. They also deemed it unbearably jingoistic. My simple take on it is that the last line is universal. An offering to all people. On a side note, I regret beyond measure how I (and many others) completely missed what, in one way or another, was made available to me at high school.
I’m not waiting around for the end of my time to come anymore. Thanks to those who are long gone who’s words still inspire today.
Khalil Gibran’s Defeat spoke to me in different level, it aimed directly to my heart!
Once this Covid thing is settled down i will tear through!
Over, under, around or through. Do what you can now, and never give in, never give up.
It's on another level. I've never felt so close to another soul. God bless that man.
The time is now, make everything happen now please!
I crriiiireeeddd to my soul
Wishing you all the best in the Universe! God Speed!
As an Arab, although I'm not Lebanese( but Syrian), I'm proud to know that Khalil Gibran is world wide known writer
All this knowledge at our grasps. Sitting comfortably on our phones and computers. Man had traveled the ancient world to listen and gain this knowledge.
What a time we live in…
Watching videos on TH-cam,
About life-changing poems for hard times,
The world around me fades away,
As I get lost in the words and rhymes.
The words they speak are solace,
In a world that's sometimes tough,
The poets' lines are pure and true,
Their words, they're more than enough.
Each stanza's like a warm embrace,
That wraps around my soul,
The phrases are like lullabies,
That make me feel whole.
The tears that flow down my cheeks,
Are like raindrops in the night,
As I watch those moving videos,
I feel like I'm taking flight.
So I'll keep on watching videos,
On TH-cam, for sure,
For the poems that they offer,
Are a balm, that will endure.
Hearing these poems read aloud like this makes them sound way more powerful and impressive then when I read them in my head.
You are a child of the universe,
You have the right to be here
No. You have the obligation to do your best. Listen to the Longfellow poem, and be wise.
That voice is a Gift of God!
Gift from cybertron
This might be centred to men, however sitting in my room angry and feeling hopeless, am drinking (better that than beer) listening to these poems, am in tears but my "defeat will bury all that will die in us". "to be understood is o be levelled down" i know this was said in the video these are powerful to me and my goal is more clear to me now than ever. "I thanks the Gods for my unconquerable soul" Hail the Asier and may Odin help me in my trying times and may Tor grant me the strength and may Fryja leave my heart open to love.
15+ Minutes? 🤩🤯 Thank you! 🙏🏼
👊
I listen to this every day, I sit eating my breakfast looking out into the world. It reminds me how lucky I am to be to hear such deep and meaningful words
That combination of poetry and music is mesmerizing. Please, by all means, keep doing these kind of videos. Thank you very much.
This channel has made my depression tolerable. I think I'm getting better now
Me too. Little by little ha ha ha. ;D
Can't hold my tears when i listen "If" by Rudyard Kipling...i always keep myself deep in this poem since i read it fir the first time
I have to say I found this and I must have listened to it more then 10 times over and over. It gives me a feeling of deep emotions that some guide me to a better place and a feeling of love for words thank you for sharing this and I am once again starting playing it again
Life is blissful when you are at peace with nature, knowing we are just a seed that grows from grace, be strength to those you love...
I listen to these poems when I stay very late after work, it’s a family business and usually get the short end of the stick on doing all the late night prep work for the morning the tedious work no one wants to do. So I go ahead and work without complaining. I listen and hear the poems and think while I work. I try to reflect after my full day of work what went good and how can I fix my faults.
Desiderata By Max Ehrman is by far the most powerful poem ever written. Especially the version on Illneas channel. The music and narration by Tom O'Bedlam gives it an extra dimension.
If more and more people would read or recitals of such poetry, maybe we can listen to the our better angels!
Listening to this badly needed poem made me embrace my own many many defeats with love and kindness. Thank you for sharing.
Same here
I am so grateful for these videos. Thank you to the poets and to the developers of this video. Lift the soul on a difficult day.
Great poems written by otherwise great men who lived through the toils and joys of life and everything in between. Younger men especially should read and take to heart the lessons of prior generations of great men who still have lessons to teach and hand down to the present generation and so on..once heard my parish priest say good men live by virtue but great men not only live virtuously but rather influence others to live a life of virtue themselves.
All of these made me want to cry. I just feel the depth of the soul that wrote it expressed through a voice that appreciates literature.
Each of these poems are absolute treasure and a delight to hear them when they a well recited.
Agreed. It enhances
“I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul.” How true
My mother kept Desiderata in our dining room when I was growing up. I had forgotten how meaningful it is, as much now as then.
Thank you for taking your time to produce this. 💛
The poem about defeat was accurate
This collection is just about the best 'listening' I have done for a very long time. Classic pieces with life messages, life comforts, life motivations. Inspirations ,deep thoughts, food for the SOUL. The chosen narrator is and bringsa to the readings in depth colour. Thank you Redfrost Mountan.
Rejected from every position i have applied to in my field, my passion and the thing i have loved despite being a valedictorian... still grateful for being able to fight my defeats every morning and to try again.
Maybe God has a different plan for you. Keep and open mind. Best wishes
Your voice gives it Extra Energy !!
Max Erhmann's poem spoke to me the most, that poem is the only thing keeping me alive right now, it's the only thing motivating me to stay alive
How you doing buddy? Need someone to talk with or vent to?
Remember it's still a beautiful world. HAPPINESS will come. Like the poem if said. "HOLD ON."
You are a child of the universe, no less than the tress and stars. YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE!!!
@@tofuisnotfood3348 That gave me the feeling that I belong here when he said "you are a child of the universe."
@@tofuisnotfood3348 Turns out I am doing better now, thank you for asking. 😊My life is starting to turn around for the first time in a while
@@kme321 glad you are doing better and in a better mental state. As offered before, need someone to talk with or just listen. My ear is always open.
Defeat my defeat ... we shall stand in the sun and we shall we dangerous... these works are timeless ... !!!
a very deseperate modern med student. hearing this makes me feel like a soldier of my own dreams and aspirations. a hopeful soldier who's ready to sacrifice herself for the greater good
Life changing words.... listen to them often , bound to bring out the best in you .
Many many love and respect from india. Love for all the country in the world.
Nothing can be a remedy to a broken heart than these poems.
The voice of this man is soothing and quite honestly motivating in a calm way.
So moving.
Smiles, hi Emma 🌺😊
One of the best poems my ears have been blessed to hear.
The last poem made me cry. I really needed to hear those words.
KHALIL GIBRAN, I never knew was such a Greatest poet, until today after submitting my heart to dive into the poem he left for readers like me.
The man who is reciting this great poem has a voice that will surely be echoing in my ear.

One of the best poem recitations I've ever heard and beautiful collection of poems. Thank You. Powerful words of extraordinary poets or say humans......
Perfect choices for these times 🌹🌿all of them are inspiring and sad it seems they go hand in hand I can live with that ❣🦋
The conviction in the voice when words are spoken makes this poetry even more powerful. It's like every word that is spoken is spoken from experience and nothing else..
Thank you for making great poetry available publicly. It is more important than the majority of what is pushed forward as entertainment on TH-cam.
I'm blessed I get to listen to this. I'm going through a tough time. Thank God for the great men lives and God bless the narrator, his voice ✨❤
Ultra Legends.!! Deep heart feelings and intentions..!! Powerful words are like good seeds. Rooted in all hearts.!!
I'm falling in love with this magical voice
Me too🥀✨🌍🕊🐾🦅🌼
OMG these poems are beautiful, but the reader, the David Attenborough of Reading and Narration, Throat Chakra resonates with such a powerful gift Amen.
Love and Light Steve White horse.❤☀️🙏🏼
Wow… this really hit hard. That was so so beautiful. It really felt reassuring. To know that life is all about perseverance, and to keep persevering is absolutely everything. I can’t even tell you how amazing that felt to hear. Your struggled shape you, make you stronger, show you that you’re going to make it each time you do.
This is one of the best things I have ever come across. I love to write whenever I am out of my space and this is beyond any motivation I needed. Now I have things to listen to all of these. And am sure alot of you are here for more inspiration and love. May God bless you all
That voice is the best motivation! Just by listening him you get a feeling you could move mountains!
I have been showing that is the only way for me to learn to truly learn about all of my challenges through the defeat and examining my failures beautiful poem
I guess that such beautiful work came by your discipline and hard work, I really loved it !! keep going because you're changing mindsets of thousands
Thank you so much for these uploads. They have exposed me to something I was never privy to growing up: POETRY! Never thought words could bring me to tears like this…….it inspires me! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such an amazing deep voice... Really felt every word what Shane Morris was saying.
These poems attempt to address different aspects of life, ranging from adversity and self awareness to personal fulfilment, gratitude. Truly inspiring 🙏.
I just love listening to your poems,
They are perfectly read out. Keep it up 👍.
God speaking directly to us in pain. To live and to continue to put one step in front of another, no matter how big or small, no matter if we step back.. to live.. to be here.. the desire to rise…. No matter how suppressed it may be.. burns on
Rise
Exactly! ;D
My favorite poem Desiderata.-Max Ehrmann.
That voice....that voice... Makes us one with the poem and its soul
The voice. I havent heard a stronger more masculine soul hurting voice than this.
I loved the poem by H W Longfellow it touches the soul ❤️💐
Me too.

Poetry and music saved my life. They reminded me to love myself. This was the piece/peace I’d be searching and seeking outside myself for so long.
