Spirit Suite:
To Michael Fitzgerald

The musica of God's laughter echoes,
generating holy passions
in the stones.

As the century comes to an end,
God's whimsical grace reverberates
resurrecting the lions of God.

Mystery cast its reflection,
in the blue reason of the spirit,
transporting humanity into the New Jerusalem.

Poet's Note: ▼

Date written 12 Kalimat 152 B.E. This was inspired by a group of poem written by Michael Fitzgerald.

Do you write with music playing in the background? If so what kind of music inspires you? Feel free to share a song with us. If you don't why not?

Sometimes I like to listen to music, and sometimes music is distracting. This depends on what I am writing, and if I can find a piece of music that I want to listen to while I am composing a poem or writing a piece of prose. I prefer listening to music while I am composing poetry. When I compose poetry, I like to listen to spiritual music, usually songs singing the Baha'i scriptures or by Baha'i artist about aspect of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah. I, also, like to listen to christian spirituals and music by different faith groups because they all praise the Almighty.

Listen to music
let your soul inhale the words,
and sip the music.
