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: ▼ |

In the afterlife

and the nether world.
However,
neither condition is permanent.
At the end of time,
at the final judgment
evil will be incinerated.
The idea
is to serve the master
without though of the world to come.

Invocation
To Baha'u'llah
O Glory of God!
I feel the Holy Spirit's power
flowing through your words.
Awestruck
my soul falls prostrate to the ground
begging your forgiveness.
O Lord of Host!
When I read your verses
I hear trumpets echoing taps and reveille,
I see
the old heaven and earth rolled up
and the new spread out in its stead.
