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: ▼ |

"in the world of the spirit one does not lose what he has gained."
d.a.levy
lose is for the material world
death and taxes
flowers wilt in their vase
death's cold kiss on a tear streaked face
this is matter not spirit
spirit ascends
always rising
spirit isn't in the body
this body is the umbilical cord connecting spirit and matter

"And they don't speak English. We should take care of our own right here!"
Remark Overheard in a Restaurant
Below all of our diversities:
across the patriotism of nations,
beyond the loyalty of religions,
outside the divergence of languages,
beneath the passions of gender,
and inside the variations of skin tone
on the core of our genome
is the double helix
of our unity.

"but if you really want
a revolution
learn how to change
your internal chemistry
then go beyond that"
d.a. levy
spirit reacts
to word and action
to choices made
to choices reevaluated
to fault placed
to fault accepted
all ineluctable
soul responds
in word and deed
to choices made
to choices reevaluated
to fault places
to fault accepted
all unavoidable
vices are overcome
spiritual attributes practiced
virtues acquired
