Writing in Snow

Tuesday Poetry: The Gift and Soul Tracks.

Fiḍál (Grace), 8 Núr (Light) 175 B.E. - Tuesday, June 12, 2018

"You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Act 2:38

The Gift

The gift of the Holy Spirit,
inspires poets,
encourages resilience,
and engenders steadfastness
in the path of faith.

Soul Tracks1

The soul leaves traces:
prehistoric paintings
etched on the walls of caves,
red ochre
scattered in graves,
rock art carved
on the walls of desert canyons.

The soul leaves traces:
subtle essence to guide
the open minded,
the unsure,
and the seeker after truth.

The soul leaves traces:
for the artist who has eyes to see,
for the poet who has ears to hear,
and the agnostic on the road to faith.
