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: ▼ |

Day of Resurrection
This is the day of resurrection
when the voice of the Promised One
can be heard
intoning the verse of God.
From the heaven of revelation
descends the Book of God's Law,
descends the Holy City
the New Jerusalem.

Rejoice
Rejoice,
Lovers of God,
For this is the Day of Resurrection.
Raise your voices in praise
To the Glory of God,
To the Lord of Hosts,
To the Prince of Peace,
To the Ancient Beauty,
For this is the day of unity.

A Metaphor
In my journey I traversed
hallway without windows:
Without cessation or interruption,
I walked through artificially lit corridors
that lead to caverns illuminated
by various degrees of sunlight.
In my journey I traversed
corridors without windows:
Around blind corners
I trudged
to find dead ends,
secret doors,
locked gates,
or blocked portals.
In my journey I traversed
passages without windows:
Through arrow slits
I caught glimpses of my... [Read more] Feast of Ilm (Knowledge) November 18, 2021 at 8:15pm Feast of Ilm
Knowledge
wrapped in scented words
floats on the evening air.
Expression of God's love:
The Lord's Supper.
Feast of Knowledge
Black silhouettes against the dusk
mountains rise
out of the evening shadow.
O Lord,
the light of Thy knowledge
rises behind the mountains of our ignorance.
In the southwest,
Venus,
the evening star,
glows bright.
O Lord,
the rustling of the leaves of Thy knowledge
call us from our sepulchers.
The full moon
