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: ▼ |
Feast of Qudrat (Power) November 23, 2018 at 9:54pm Feast of Qudrat (Power)
The power of the Holy Spirit
Flows across my soul
Refreshing and reviving my thoughts.
In the word of Baha'u'llah
I taste the divine flavor of resurrection
and the sweet savor of immortality.
Through the healing power of love
My vision expands to perceive
All religions as the rays of God.
{dropnote:"Poet's Note:"}I wrote this in 157 B.E.

A Poem of Transformation
"Nothing living can look for the light forever, not find it, and not be changed."
Bruce McAllistar
Light leaves it shadow,
recorded on the walls of matter.
Recorded
where it can be unearthed
by those who have been transmuted.
Where
it can be uncovered
by those changed
by light's deprivation.
Light leaves its shadow
to be discovered
by the transformed.
To be located
by those that have lost
the desire of gr... [Read more] Legal Questions: Soul and Body November 23, 2018 at 6:39pm Legal Questions:
Soul And Body
The question to be considered en banc is this:
Is the soul per se
responsible
for the body's actions?
de nova
Is the body's actus reus
the results
of a mens reus
that is ultra vires
of the soul?

Consider carefully the prima facie evidence!
The body is the container
the soul the contents.
lThis being the case,
is a violent act against the body
an act that is in personam ,

A Metaphor
The stream polished lava stone,
Carved by diurnal motion;
Water flowing alone,
To the eternal ocean.
Metaphor for the human soul,
Imprisoned in matter's dream;
Wile religion's unseen goal,
Attracts the water of the stream,
which flows over
hidden stones to give birth.
Life's swift flowing river
borne from cradled stone's mirth.
Life's river flows toward the sea,
Transporting objects that float free,
In its swift current... [Read more] Building God's Kingdom August 24, 2023 at 7:48pm 1
Building the Arc of God:
Mount Carmel in Israel
The time has come to complete,
The Arc upon God's holy mountain,
We must obey His Manifestation,
And complete the Arc of God.
With sacrificial endeavor,
We will arise to complete the Arc,
Rising on Carmel's crest,
The New Jerusalem.

Required to carry forward an advancing civilization,
That sacrifice will be made by those given the responsibility
