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: ▼ |

I fear to try!
But not to try is death,
Death of my talents, hopes, and dreams.
So I will try!
In trying I will achieve
I will bring my goals to fruition.
I will try!
In trying I will conquer fear.
Fear which is death to all that I hold dear.
I will try faith!
Faith will make my dreams come true.
It is belief in things unseen and done.
What has trying taught me?
To hold faith not fear before me.
With faith I can conquer fear, death, and everything.

The voice of the heavenly maiden,
Calls from behind the mystic veil.
O Followers of the Son!
The Lord of the vineyard has appeared,
God's will on Earth is being done,
As it is in heaven.

For the resurrection and last judgment has occurred.

And the Prince of Peace has arrived.

Celebrating the Declaration of Baha'u'llah
I have seen the dawn of God's new day,
Rising rosy over hills of gray,
And from the mountains lofty height,
caught reflections of God's eternal light.
Through the valley far below--
Still covered by the Winter's snow--
Echoes the Nightingale's call,
Announcing Spring's advent to all.
From behind the Garden's wall,
Comes the Nightingale's call,
greeting Divine Springtime,
In the speech... [Read more] Unity of Humanity May 9, 2022 at 5:51pm 1
Light Absorbed, Light Reflected
Color is the reflection of light from an object.
The color black absorbs light,
without reflecting any of its waves.
The color white reflects light,
without absorbing any of its rays.
One color complements the other.
Making perfect the color spectrum.
So it is,
with humanity's rainbow.
The difference of hue and thought
complementing the race.
