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: ▼ |
God's Tears January 3, 2019 at 10:52pm God's Tears
God weeps
a single tear descends
into matter's pool
Creates--
in the womb of faith
a Prophet is conceived--
The bull's eye that
generates ripples in time.
Ripples that move
away from their nativity;
ripples that slow
with the speed of centuries
Until
dogma's sedimentation
deposits a religion's layer.
God weeps
another tear descends
into matter's pool;
another manifestation
is conceived;
and another bull's eye gener... [Read more] The Purpose of Life August 11, 2021 at 12:17pm The Purpose of Life

Sow Justice,
Harvest peace.
Bumper sticker
Sow Justice,
In all your dealings with humanity
Whether of your faith or not.
With each individual,
Each race,
Each religion,
Each government.
Sow Justice,
Harvest peace,
From the seeds sown
In each field
By God's chosen ones
Harvest peace.

Carvans travel over mountain roads,
Across desert sands,
Their destination is the Promised Land:
Held sacred by Christian,
Muslim,
Jew,
and Baha'i.
From the east,
the west,
the north,
the south,
And all directions in between
Come ships and planes to Haifa,
to Jerusalem,
to the Holy Land
{dropnote:"Poet's Note:"}I wrote this in 145 B.E.

The physical sun
illuminates the entire planet.
Plants--
which turn their leaves to its splendor--
thrive, grow,and bear exquisite fruit.
The spiritual sun
illuminates all of humanity..
As souls
turn to the splendor
of God's Manifestation
they thrive, grow, and bear fruit.
{dropnote:"Poet's Note:"}I wrote this in 149 B.E. It was inspired by a feast held on the evening of of March 20.
