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: ▼ |

The chains of matter,
are the chains that bind,
soul to material plain
freedom is the splendor of
God's undying flame.
The Glory of God,
was bound by chains,
within the Siyeh-Chal,
He endured the weight of Qara-Guhar,
to free us from th is eartly thrall.
Cataracts of ego,
cover our inner eyes,
hiding from their vision
the Beauty of God which is nigh.
Blind to the Grandeur,
of God's new day,
we huddle inside the prison of self
and to our own id... [Read more] In Your Home January 24, 2019 at 8:13pm In Your Home
1. Every residence should be equipped with the sacred books of all religions.
2. Carelessly handled these objects will transform you into an open-minded seeker.
3. Matches and lighters can only destroy the physical forms of these books and not the Holy Spirit that revealed them.
