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: ▼ |
Question for My Soul October 29, 2018 at 1:58pm Question For My Soul
Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
hope thou in God:
for I shall yet praise him
for the help of his countenance.
Psalm 42:5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
My spirit is beset by afflictions;
My heart weighed down by lamentations;
My soul pays dearly for sin collections;
Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
hope thou in God:
He has sent His love to each generation;
He has sent His laws to each dispensation;
He has sent one of his Manifestations;... [Read more] Quays of Space and Time October 28, 2018 at 9:26pm Quays of Space and Time
There are worlds only soul can touch,
beyond the limits of our race:
Worlds too distant for our eyes to see,
too small for our hands to grasp,
Or to large for our strides to cross;
where Jehovah by other names is known.
We feel the echoes of these worlds,
in dreams that haunt our deepest sleep;
in dreams that beckon us to flee
matter's insecurity
and ride on particles of light.
There are dimensions only soul can see,
beyond the touch of mattered ... [Read more] Religious Questions February 19, 2022 at 6:04pm 1
Where Will You Be For Eternity?
Bumper Sticker
Are you wrapped in God's eternal faith,
assured of immortal sovereignty,d
while bound to this material lath?
Where will you be for eternity?
Hove you rejected God's Promised One;
or brought yourself down to poverty,
through obedience to matter's wrath?
Where will you be for eternity?
Do you see with the eyes of unity,
the revealers of God's ancient faith?
Where will you be for eternity?

To The Bab and Baha'u'llah
Why does the night deepen?
To fight the day's rising splendor!
Why does the sky bleed?
The glory of the Beloved!
Who scatters dawn's rays?
The atoms of its beauty!
What makes morning cold?
Shedding its grandeur into
space earth bleeds for the Beloved!
Who ignites the dawn?
Rays of living light
dispel the legions of night!
