Sacred Beliefs
Poetry Contest Description
Get your Hoodoo on
I want to know about your system of belief, what it is you adhere to, be it religion, spirituality, atheism, agnosticism, witchcraft, voodoo, hoodoo, or even nihilism. This is your chance to educate us here at DU about your sacred system of belief.
Yes; sacred. Because regardless of what you believe, your path is your experience, and all experience is sacred to knowledge and growth.
I look forward to reading and educating myself in regards to your personal truths and the path you tread.
A few rules because DU:
New entries only
No erotic entries
Two entries per DU profile
No dissing anyone's beliefs. This is about YOU.
All forms acceptable ( visual, spoken word, and song included )
I don't want to cap a length on your personal beliefs; however, I also don't want a manifesto. So, let's say around 300 words max.
Any style: poetic, prose, song lyrics, whatnot.
I think that's it. Feel free to ask for clarification.
Afterlife
Only now am asking my Lord
to make me steadfast in His religion..
Now that am possessed
But still not yet invade..
I can't find my aid
Covered in a cob web..
What's wrong with my brain?
So much pain in my head..
Pool of my own blood
Soaked in a drill hole..
I must have gone sane .. or is this insane?..
What's up with my change?
I might have exchanged..
What's this am feeling?
How can I engage?
How far can I live?
I need not an answer
I don't need a back up..
If so am living
Still on the sidewalk
Submitting my homework..
Voices from far away..
People so nearly..
No one will stare at me..
Pretending not to see me..
Am not understanding..
This might be the hard way..
Some got the soft way..
It is stated that I know Marie Claire..
Also reported that I know Fowler Sia..
I am not a foreseer..
I don't know Mary Claire..
I only know the name Fowler Sia..
I might not sound very clear..
This is me reporting from the afterlife..
I can only hear the sound of a baby yelling Mama mia mia..
to make me steadfast in His religion..
Now that am possessed
But still not yet invade..
I can't find my aid
Covered in a cob web..
What's wrong with my brain?
So much pain in my head..
Pool of my own blood
Soaked in a drill hole..
I must have gone sane .. or is this insane?..
What's up with my change?
I might have exchanged..
What's this am feeling?
How can I engage?
How far can I live?
I need not an answer
I don't need a back up..
If so am living
Still on the sidewalk
Submitting my homework..
Voices from far away..
People so nearly..
No one will stare at me..
Pretending not to see me..
Am not understanding..
This might be the hard way..

CLUELESS
kindness
is my guiding light
my blessing
and my holy fight
and all the gods
can have their time
dispensing hope
in hearts and minds
because we're lonely
out in space
trapped inside this scary place
where mayhem
always takes the reins
and lovers leave
and sickness pains
and i can't guess
what all awaits
when my body
meets it fate --
something?
nothing?
either way
i know I just
don't have a say
so, yes,
i take the time to pray
and feel the light
and bless the day
but i don't know
who hears those prayers
and life has taught me
not to dare
to guess at things
i cannot see
still,
my faith
has set me free
and angels
real or make believe
dispense their gifts
to clueless me
is my guiding light
my blessing
and my holy fight
and all the gods
can have their time
dispensing hope
in hearts and minds
because we're lonely
out in space
trapped inside this scary place
where mayhem
always takes the reins
and lovers leave
and sickness pains
and i can't guess
what all awaits
when my body

The temple of the mind
i
Our structured manifestation
Here first letter revelation
Such bears no sound,
A zero point all-expansion
Silent carrier of vibration
Purporting unbound,
ii
Atziluth wand of a King Yod Tejas noble
Yetzirah cup of a Queen He' Vayu to fly
Briah sword of a Knight Vau Apas global
Assiah coin of a Knave He' Prithivi abide,
iii
Material fruits among astral leaves
Falling from the archetypal stems
Formed from all spirited seeds,
iv
One fundamental point--in kind
Crosses each octave line--rhyme,
Across every fifth surface--mind
Into hither fourth volume--shine,
v
1/1 Kether in a supernal fire uni born
2/1 Tiferith as an ethical air dual reform
3/1 Yesod into an astral water triform
4/1 Malkuth each material earth reborn,
vi
The natural is but the dense aspect of the spiritual...

No worries, anna. Tallen created his ( almost a week ) after I did this one. Not sure why, as they're basically the same thing. Can only assume he didn't see this one.
