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.

Love looked within; Love saw The perfectly formed atoms And subatomic particles, That composed The matter of the stone. {dropnote:"Poet's Note:"}I wrote this in Jamal 154 B.E. after reading the story...

Reading in Bed: Two Poems
February 19, 2019 at 10:39pm
Reading Poetry In Bed My mind sated with verse falls into a contemplative stupor. Eye lids close, pupils focus on the interplay of light and shadow. Words unassociated with those I just read jolt my mind. Eye lids open, pupils focus on the interplay of meter and rhyme. Reading The Word of God in Bed My mind hungry for reality consumes the Holy Words. Eye lids heavy with meditation fight to stay open. My mind thirsty for the Water of Life drinks long an...

I Write Of My Beloved
July 26, 2020 at 7:52pm
I Write Of My Beloved Shall I write And not of Thee through Whom my fingers bend To hold my quill? George Herbert I write of my Beloved Through whom my fingers bend To pick up my pen! I write of my salvation Using ink drawn from my own veins To document my liberation! I write of my pain Caused by my ego's attempt to gain My soul's allegiance! I write of my fears Caused by the disempowering years In Self's prison! {dropnote:"Poet's Note:"}... [Read more]
