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: ▼ |

To Mark Sadan
Sandwiched between
yesterday and tomorrow
negatives mate,
give birth to corporeality hybrid:
Slides
sculpted by imagination
and tinted with emotions
reveal...
A wall of cars
standing guard over childhood memories;
A door
held in the embrace of darkness
stands open to the pure light of faith;
A dark Icelandic horse
its main and tail flowing
runs across the harsh landscape
escaping from/to
the home of the faire folk;
Silent craters stand ... [Read more] Salvation on Interstate 95 November 22, 2018 at 8:07pm Salvation on Interstate 95
On the highway to salvation,
the soul radiantly acquiesces
to both
limitations of speed
and confinement in matter.
Confinement
in a physical body,
or mental machine,
generates unreasonable fears.
Of course,
the left front tire
might explode,
or the semi-trailer truck
in the middle lane
might overturn
on top of your car:
this is only a metaphor
for physical existence.
Just as the Off ramp
is a simile for sex,
or some other mundane obsessio... [Read more] Contemplating Unity February 23, 2019 at 11:07pm Contemplating Unity

Unity in diversity
All working in harmony
To build a better world.
2
Being in unity
That's important today.
Nothing can resist the power of unity.
3
Evolution works toward unity.
Through material and spiritual evolution
Humanity moves toward unity.
4
Voices in the darkness,
call for reconciliation,
Call for America to implement
The unity its flag represents.

Reflecting reality
rainbows dance
among obscuring clouds.... [Read more] Unity Senstina September 12, 2021 at 1:24pm Unity Senstina
Seven candles of unity,
Seven lights to the world,
Glow on the distant horizon,
Growing brighter each day,
Giving the downcast soul new hope,
That world peace is in sight.
The first candle that comes in sight,
Is political unity;
Giving world citizens new hope,
That parties need not divide the world.
The second light that nears each day:
Agreement about global projects is on the horizon.
The third candles on the horizon,
Comes slowly into sight;
Unity of fre... [Read more] |
