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: ▼ |

The universe quivered,
and began
the the process of contraction.
Over the clamor of annihilation,
the fourth trumpet bast sounded!
Proclaiming,d

The ego self
is a cruel master...
unforgiving.
I hold in my hands
the legacy of the Beloved.
I read
the invocation under the title:
"In the name of God, the One, the Incomparable,
the All-Powerful, the All-knowing, the All-Wise."
Who am I
that I should doubt
my own self-worth.
Reality
is not this physical creature,
this animal brain,
which holds
within it the memory
of use and abuse.
My reality
encompasses
this physical body.... [Read more] |
