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 a World Without Vision December 10, 2018 at 11:07pm In a World Without Vision
Where there is no vision the people perish.
Proverbs 29:18
In a world without vision
bombs fall on the unfortified roofs
of grad schools.
In a world without vision
bodies are stacked
cord wood waiting for the fire.
{dropnote:"Poet's Note:"}I wrote this in 152 B.E. The inspiration was the Biblical quote and news stories.

Four Metaphors
Humanity Divided by Color or Creed
There is the illusion
of communication between us.
I speak,
you speak,
we say nothing,
we do not hear what the other says.
The Nonexistence of God
There is the illusion of security,
propagated by wrought iron gates,
responding to numbered codes.
The Incompatibility of Science and Religion
Gray shadow mountains
above and behind majestic peaks,
creat the illusion of reality.

A Baha'i Perspective
Inner peace
is achieved through trust in God;
it is the result of experience,
and the practice of certitude.
Inner peace
is the goal of the imprisoned soul;
the reality of the obedient servant;
the abode of the faithful.
Inner peace
is radiant acquiescence;
the liberation of the spirit;
the freedom of nirvana.
Inner peace
is the knowledge that God is in command;
the after glow of prayer and meditation;
the surrender to the Will of ... [Read more] Centerpiece: A Metaphor December 10, 2018 at 6:08pm Centerpiece:
A Metaphor
The embodiment of blind faith,
the centerpiece sets
in the middle of a brown table.
A pyramid of
red carnations,
white daisies,
and green plastic fer-leaves.
The white daisies
are framed by the carnations,
and the fern-leaves.
Climbing upward,
the carnations are framed
by the fern-leaves.
At the pyramid's peak
the tallest carnation
surveys its domain;
a construction
of God-made flowers
and man-made leaves.
{dropnote:"Poet's... [Read more] Whispers in the Night December 10, 2018 at 5:09pm Whispers in the Night
Whispers reverberated through the darkness
that preceded the first light of day;
As vibrations of the last trumpet blast echoed
through the sepulchers of night.
Whispers reverberated through the clouds
that obscured the rays of dawn;
As vibrations of Christ returned in the Father's Glory
echoed into the fleeing night.
Whisper echoed through the morning
that proclaimed a new day;
As vibrations of the Kingdom of God on Earth reverberated
from the day... [Read more] The Manifestation of God and Every Manifestation February 5, 2019 at 11:18pm The Manifestation of God
