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.

Hell’s Dream.
There once was dreamer,
he hadn't a name,
hells chosen redeemer,
a king of the game,
He was searching,
for a title to be known,
An angel lost,
deserving a thrown,
He set his sights,
for the sons of man,
For he knew the making,
of Gods plan,
He crept inside,
this forsaken world,
And found a man,
with rage unfurled,
The lost angel asked this angry creature,
What is life's most powerful feature
He said the opposite of good is evil,
The strongest of powers known by people,
So this namelesss...

WAKE UP (Who has deceived you?)
I got a letter from a long time friend the other day telling me that I needed to wake up and return to what I once believed, as I had been deceived into walking away from Christ. This is not what has taken place at all, I have just over a long period woke up to realize how deep the rabbit hole goes, and how pervasive the matrix we live in has become. Not so much rejecting who Jesus is more refusing to be a willing participant to lies. This is the poem that was inspired by the wake up comments

Five days, counted
Death lingers in the air, ever-present,
But does not land.
Though we would welcome it, beckon to it even,
It eludes our call.
And though there are lucid moments,
Where hearts dance because death tarries,
Mainly there are painful ones,
Where death would rescue, yet throws no line.
What unfinished work must await her,
We sometimes wonder--
Though impossible to imagine work
From a vessel so frail.
Her strength must be super-human,
We sometimes speculate--
Though her tentative grasp on life appears in

Faltering Steps
To Love
Thyself
I must first try
to understand
Thyself
to begin
with faltering steps
to look within
Thyself
to strip away
the pretence
of being
Thyself
to finally see
what it means
to be
Yourself
Thyself
I must first try

Things I don't know
I am intrigued mostly by the
things I don’t know
Like where do we come from?
Why does the wind blow?
I understand the whole jet stream thing
But where does the notion to blow evolve?
If Einstein is correct what is this fabric space sits on?
My meditation time is spent watching birds
How do they all know to take off
then in unison
all turn left
then all return?
Why do we see some things so clearly?
And to others were just dumb?
When does a religion become a myth?
and
What really makes...

Thinkers Dilemma
Learning the language of nature
spellbound in a thinkers dilemma
sitting grounded and still
listening to teachings offered
flowering is my wisdom
among blooming thoughts,
and crystal clarity
eyes accept permission from mind
to see and feel everything
heart aligned with soul
never once felt such control
yet a boundless freedom
in harmony, in balance
rooted in my tree of knowledge

In the end, he followed his dream. In the end he achieved his goal. In the end he did good, because it was good.

Ficus tree
I did not grow you
I am an agent of your birthright
You are not my ward
We are siblings
And I suspect you will water me in another cycle
You are of old ancestry
More venerable than speech could convey
A lineage of goddesses
Who choose to afford us breath
Providing us the platform to flower or falter
great priestesses of essence
I do not own you
Although there was a purchase
You are deep and founded
Steeped in the the language of creation

You Are
You are quick, I am slow
You are exalted, I am low
You are perceptive, I am dull
You are wise, and surely so
You have knowledge, I have none
You are wisdom's only son
You are versed, I am dumb
Where you go I can't come
You are open, I am shut
You are scholarly, I the nut
You are greater, I am less
You are purer than our mess
You are us, I am none
To all you welcome, to all I shun
You are leading, I am retreating
You are shepherd, I am bleating
You are fire, I am hay

Venit In Nomine Domini
Oh fortunate am I to thee
Thine kingdom's promise is free
As thy will is my sword
And faith in my earthly lord
For thine kingdom I vow
In thy name I fight here and now
To take these desert lands
And see the High Kingdom in the sands
Jerusalem sings for the angel's flight
Grace us with thy presence son of light
Thine warriors answer the call to arms
To protect this land from heathen harm
These promises we do make
In return Father our souls do take
Thine kingdom's promise is free
As thy will is my sword
And faith in my earthly lord
For thine kingdom I vow
In thy name I fight here and now
To take these desert lands
And see the High Kingdom in the sands
Jerusalem sings for the angel's flight
Grace us with thy presence son of light
Thine warriors answer the call to arms
To protect this land from heathen harm
These promises we do make
In return Father our souls do take
