Devotional Poetry My Search I Into the mystic realm, I let my mind take flight, Over stone strewn highways, I search the endless night. I was the Wanderer, Looking for a goal, And the Seeker, Searching for my soul. I walked the roads of idle fancy, Paths of material delight, Stumbling over stones of vain imaginings, In my search for the light. A voice deep within me cried: "Here doesn't lay your goal, Upon these darkened pathways, You'll never find your sou." II Into the mystic realm, Again my mind took flight, Over well traveled highways, I search the misty twilight. I was a Seeer, Seeking an unknown goal, And a Stranger, To my own soul. In this realm of half-light, I strolled the roads of tradition, Picking my way carefully, Through the shadows of superstition. Still from within came the cry: "Not in this realm is your goal, Upon these half-lit pathways, You'll never find your soul" III Into the mystic realm, Again I took flight, And walked the paths, Where God has shed His light. I walked the hallowed highways, Trod by the Prophets of old, Strolled the ancient paths, Strewn with nuggets of pure gold. This is the wondrous realm, Where all paths become one, This is the glorious land, Illuminated by God's sun. Through the Word of God, I have found my soul, In the Messenger for this age, I have found my goal. Poet's Note: ▼ |

There is silence in the lines of a poem,
as they dance down the page,
as they pause between curtains of white space,
as they give the brain an opportunity,
to listen to the echoes of creation.
There is silence in the smoke of distant fires,
as it ascends in charcoal layers,
as it drapes the western mountains in black,
as it gives the soul an opportunity,
to listen to the echoes of transformation.
There is silence in the words of a prayer,
as they ascend in c... [Read more] The Handmaiden's Prayer January 9, 2022 at 4:13pm The Handmaiden's Prayer
Baha'u'llah,
from the depths of my insistent self
you called me forth.
Assist me
to be steadfast in Your covenant
and firm in Your cause.
Beloved,
out of my own vain imaginings
You rescued me.
Thank You,
for guiding me to Your ancient faith
and Your forgiveness.

... [Read more] The Poetry of Transformation January 2, 2022 at 4:12pm The Poetry of Transformation
This is the poetry of transformation,
the poet ry of divine love:
the common ancestor of all living things.
Atom by atom God transforms
nonexistence into existence;
nonbeing into being;
nonlife int o life.
And day by day,
prayer by prayer,
poem by poem,
I in response to the divine passion
strive for perfection;
for self-transformation.
{dropnote:"Poet's Note:"}I begin this poem sometime in dd156 B.E.
