Poetry Wrote Over Several Years on Spiritual, Religious, and Devotional Subjects. |
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: ▼ |

when love ones cease the talk.
In contemplation we
remember starlight in a lover's hair,
and the quiet loveliness
at the parting of our ways.
In contemplation we
put on laughter's invincible armor,
to face the bittersweet... [Read more] Self-Talk: A Journey of Transformation March 16, 2022 at 9:00pm 1
Self-Talk:
A Journey of Transformation
Over the drab
and rocky wasteland of unspoken fears.
Above the distant voices
whispering in my mental ears.
Telling me:
"You can't;
You're stupid and incapable;
unwanted;
unloved;
undesired.
Voices causing me
to cringe in terror
at the though of either success or failure.
Above all this noise,
I hear the Nightingale calling,
telling me
that the whispers I hear
are not my true reality.
Telling me,
that the p... [Read more] Out of Zion December 30, 2018 at 6:47pm Out of Zion
"And may people shall go and say, come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his path for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
Isiah 2:3
In the last days,
when humanity stands on the brink
of the abyss,
when the flames of Armageddon
consume the fortresses of religion.
A multitude of angels will say,
to the children of the ... [Read more] |
