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: ▼ |
Holy Year Meditation January 12, 2019 at 4:04pm Holy Year Meditation
Nineteen candles burn for the Beloved
Radiating the splendor of God's Glory
To a world blind to His love
Nineteen mirrors reflect the divine beauty
Shedding the grandeur of His dominion
on a world oblivious to His light
Nineteen crystals echo the mercy of the Almighty
Broadcasting the music of His voice
To a world deaf to to His words
Nineteen roses bloom in the garden of faith
Shedding the fragrance of God's perfection
on a world insensate to H... [Read more] Faith Defined February 19, 2022 at 5:58pm 1

This is the choice that comes only once;
This is the answer to love's questions;
This is the difficult choice between opposites;
This is the affirmation of spirituality;
This is the soul's confirmation of faith;
This is the demarcation between heaven and hell;
This is the answer required to open the gates of paradise;
This is the consummation of divine love;
This is the double positive of immortality.
