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.

February 25, 2019 at 11:11pm
Pearl Seeds: A Metaphor for Transformation Pearl seeds encased in living shells, we hear only oyster blood flowing. Our minds unmarked by external realities, we feel only the cold kiss of mother of pear, as our rough edges are smoothed to a glassy finish. Pearl Atom of spirit Embedded in matter's shell Secreting mother-of-pearl Death's knife pries open Matter's shell releasing the Treasure imprisoned within {dropnote:"Poet's Note:... [Read more]
God's Promise Kept
November 20, 2018 at 10:08pm
God's Promise Kept The same Divine Reality in a different human temple. The same Word of God, with a different name. Those who say: "I am Christ!" Deceive the world today for by this name He will not come again unto this plane. The Prince foretold by Daniel has come; chariot jostle in the streets; many people run to and fro; knowledge has increased. Sent as a prisoner to Assyria: Exiled from Tehran to Baghdad, from Constantinople to Adrianople, and to Akka b... [Read more]
Devotional Services

1 Sunday Morning Services At a Christian Church in Las Vegas The Holy Spirit whispers to my soul, like the distant echoes of last night's thunderstorm. 2 Sunday Afternoon Services At the Baha'i Center in Las Vegas I entered the Baha'i Center one Sunday and was greeted with a multitude of smiles, a multitude of happy, friendly faces come to intone praise, prayer, and song. I sat in the front row of the sanctuary waiting for services to begin, though I had c... [Read more]
