Spiritual Poems
POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poetry which debates religion, atheism and New Age spirituality
Here you'll find poems about religion, spirituality and atheism. Whether you're a spiritual person or not, this is where you can present, through poetry, your beliefs about if and what exists outside of our own physical world experiences. Poems in this area will ask questions and/or suggest answers. These include ideas about gods and higher beings, who and what they are and if they exist at all. Poems about scientific theories on existence are also welcome, along with New Age beliefs like Occultism, astrology, and metaphysics. So too is poetry about Paganism, psychic powers, voodoo rituals and cults. This category showcases spiritual poems the DU Poetry way: with lots of different points of view and where an open mind is essential.

Pharaoh's Goddess
Seems your in love with me among these fake ass God's
no weapon formed can change our odds
visualize your own thought and visions
manifest and create in your image and likeness
as your enemies fear your silence
and words finally spoken you are a prophet
a pharaoh's Queen Goodridge power without religion
knowledge without the classes
rise and be acknowledged and know that you are my Goddess...

Wilderness
Living in the wilderness
Wearing a camel coat
Eating locust and wild honey
Dust in his beard
Preaching to a brood of vipers
You can’t be friends with a serpent
Because a snake can’t be trusted
The axe was laid to the root of the tree
Who will sharpen my blade?
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Whom shall I send?
Is it I Lord?
Temptation was in the garden of Eden
Salvation was in the garden of Gethsemane
How well I know temptation
How I long to meet salvation
Only say but thy word
That I may be healed
I...

The End of the World, Really?
Everyone imagines the end of the world
As widespread death and destruction.
This may happen at the start, however,
I imagine the conclusion far differently.
I believe the world we live in is already dead
We exist by harvesting its’ dwindling remains
Not enough food, water, resources, space
Rare species vanish as soon as discovered.
I also believe that death and rebirth
Will happen from one breath to the next.
The earth was not created young
It is created anew every second
For each and every living being
It is...
As widespread death and destruction.
This may happen at the start, however,
I imagine the conclusion far differently.
I believe the world we live in is already dead
We exist by harvesting its’ dwindling remains
Not enough food, water, resources, space
Rare species vanish as soon as discovered.

Will happen from one breath to the next.

blue moon ahedonia
yesterday was faster than i was.
for all my plans
ended up leaving the curtains closed
oh gods
please don't let me be heavy.
please don't
uncannily like a dinner plate, on the verge of shattering
some pastoral chinese scene split down a stressed vein
man and his house
and tree
and boat
wrenched apart
they say it's more beautiful broken
mortared with silver
i don't know, i never saw
but maybe it gave me a headache
anyway
...

A Parable of Purple-Love ( for Flowergirl )
I.
Nature's intimate secrets
are revealed through intuition—
like an insect's blood
mixed with lemon juice
unraveling color's mystery;
Logic explains how marriage between
grayscale cochineal's carminic acid
to citrus fruit's calcium citrate
births living Scarlet or Carmine Blue
Then there's Tyrian-Purple,
the natural order — predators
becoming prey:
Murex marine mollusks—

Divining
Genius one
spread your branches
annoint awareness
sprung from palest
chest
From ancient almanac
I identified your leaf
admiring your gift
Once polinated
By wind wisps
You whispered
My name
And gave me
Purpose
In true colour
of mine eyes
I carry your wand
in karmic blueprint
spread your branches
annoint awareness
sprung from palest
chest
From ancient almanac
I identified your leaf
admiring your gift
Once polinated
By wind wisps
You whispered
My name
And gave me

Dying Into theLight
Fiercely pawing the ground
Death, the winged horse
frightens me
with his fiery snort.
But looking in his eyes, I realize
that there is nothing to fear!
No expectations, no attachment, no regrets.
Nothing but love and light!
My heart overflowing with unconditional love
I nestle down in Death's wings
ready to take off toward the
bright light of the other side.
I understand! Finally I understand!
I am love!
I am beauty!
I am at home!
I will meet you there, my love!
Death, the winged horse
frightens me
with his fiery snort.
But looking in his eyes, I realize
that there is nothing to fear!
No expectations, no attachment, no regrets.
Nothing but love and light!
My heart overflowing with unconditional love
I nestle down in Death's wings
ready to take off toward the
bright light of the other side.
I understand! Finally I understand!
I am love!
I am beauty!
I am at home!
I will meet you there, my love!

Remembrance
A hopeful sanctuary within,
Death gives new meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Left in nothing but a ruin.
A tragedy spills a poison
Not all lie need a meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Take everything, left in ruin.
Hold my life in your eyes,
Let the word spill,
Watch me die.
Take everything, why don't you try,
Blood in your eyes,
I know when you lie.
Drown in the poison,
You don't need them anymore.
Drown in the poison,
They are not here anymore.
The sun burns brighter, ...
Death gives new meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Left in nothing but a ruin.
A tragedy spills a poison
Not all lie need a meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Take everything, left in ruin.
Hold my life in your eyes,
Let the word spill,
Watch me die.
Take everything, why don't you try,
Blood in your eyes,
I know when you lie.
Drown in the poison,
You don't need them anymore.
Drown in the poison,
They are not here anymore.
The sun burns brighter, ...

A feathered visitor
The grass had been cut,
the daisies had their heads lopped off
but were not defeated
and would be back in time,
The bold breeze had died down
giving way to warm sunshine
a truly pleasant Summers day,
While I went about rolling up the lawnmower's cable
a Robin Redbreast flitted by to land on the newly cut lawn
all was still and peaceful
only the soft murmurings of life in the background;
I looked at the robin
and felt nothing
except than the simple serenity of a job well done
and the slightly buoyed up mood ...

eternal knowledge of the becoming spirit
beautiful sage you speak mountain fluently
the forests themselves are keeper of your secrets
through hushed lips, you whisper wisdom
my soul answers as if chastised
the fire in yours charges mine
to carefully listen to the urgency of the river
rushing to greet the ocean's tide with the messages it's received
of days burning with the sun then washed and renewed
