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.

Don't Care
It always comes
as a shock
those feelings
you forgot
that you hide
but once in a while
it leaks
like slow drip
from a tap
as your tears
begin to form
in sympathy
for your pain
as you
replaster the cracks
in your smile
showing your friends
a hollow defiance
of you don't care
if you never touch
caress
smell
hold
someone
who feels
the true colors
of your pain
as a shock
those feelings
you forgot
that you hide
but once in a while
it leaks
like slow drip
from a tap
as your tears
begin to form
in sympathy
for your pain
as you
replaster the cracks
in your smile
showing your friends
a hollow defiance
of you don't care
if you never touch
caress
smell
hold
someone
who feels
the true colors
of your pain

Starlands
For when I go, I pray my
spirit circles overhead. I
trust my soul will make
rings in the storm
clouds above my eyes, and
the nights won't be so
eternal after all. Let the
fiery evening burn into a
peaceful, ashen dusk. Let
parallels and wayward
dimensions align gracefully.
I hope I will wander starlands and
fields of cosmic light, in
search of nothing but to
satisfy the part of me that
wants to go home - and there
is no heavenly home like the
spheres of our origin.

A Sacrifice Of
Forgiveness and love
A nailed scarred hand
On the wings of a dove
A Light from above
Not as a command
Forgiveness and love
No open shove
A victory planned
On the wings of a dove
Endurance without a glove
A cross not a stand
Forgiveness and love
A sacrifice of
They don’t understand
On the wings of a dove
The spirit thereof
Arose across the land
Forgiveness and love
On the wings of a dove
A nailed scarred hand
On the wings of a dove
A Light from above
Not as a command
Forgiveness and love
No open shove
A victory planned
On the wings of a dove
Endurance without a glove
A cross not a stand
Forgiveness and love
A sacrifice of
They don’t understand
On the wings of a dove
The spirit thereof
Arose across the land
Forgiveness and love
On the wings of a dove

The Nightmaiden
I've never felt the
weight of the world as I
have staring away from
it. Eyes are drawn
against gravity through the
night's swirling skies,
hazy and filling my head with
ideas of sleep. The moon
enchants and chills, warms and
breathes Her cold mist into
the wind.
I've never felt such a binding of
spells and the hand of
fate holding me underneath the
starlight to bear witness. Frost
slinks across exposed skin like
spiders and flashes of lightning;
the tide's flee and chase, the
push and pull of...

Bless: Flame Imperishable
Silently, she would remember a cry
in lands unseen and not foretold
would she know how she would die
or she sought shelter in the cold?
Awaking in a state of knowledge
where a device undying
will not withstand its pledge
because it would be lying.
So Let it Be a Law of Voice
the Absolutness in the Word
Intent when it's the Noise
cannot kill him, or hurt
the Flame Impereshable, or the Phoenix,
the being that observed him silent,
so he made un dono* for it's ennex*
and the Vedic Way is...

You cleanse me and wash away all the

Saw you the other day on the cover of a

I am in awe of you as the sun of righteousness

Mighty rainbow of living colour, you know all

The Human Form - 2
From summit to nadir
our form reflects
primordial man
in his holiness
whose blueprint we carry
and make manifest
when refining our spirit
so raising our dust
The sanctified human
immortal becomes
from trial and toil
over vast aeons
now complete
in reflecting Gd
in spirit and body
his Divinity owns

Peaceful Meditation
longing for delight
mindfulness could be the cure
content with mundane
become healthy whole
get tuned in tapped in turned on
mindful awareness
reprieve from chaos
natural intimacy
peace in the garden
lush landscapes linger
placid pastoral places
meditative dens
felt every day
sacred connectivity
peaceful grounded flight
soon we'll be floating
adrift in lazy current
going with the flow
music of the spheres
crystalline oscillation
celestial movements

Carry the card
In my wallet warm and secure
a bond with others to embrace
no badge to wear, no grinning face
faith, your hearts in the right place
Throw your cape 'or a puddle
know the pain of toil and struggle
throw your hat into the ring
and help the others suffering
Give of yourself while you still live
for blood and tissue to a relative
and humanity be the sacred book
the cross to bear while others LOOK
Depreciate your time sublime
for god will mark your card
as they nailed him to the wood
gave his soul for the...

The Human Form - 1
In spirit pure are angels dressed
only body do animals possess
but the ones that dress in human form
of matter and spirit both are born
Gd immortal our spirit reflects
the human form Gd manifest
when human spirit evolves to raise
to Divinity its earthly dust
thus alone can humans climb
higher than angels in their realm
Gd’s purpose then will be fulfilled
Divinity in earthly dust to dwell
only body do animals possess
but the ones that dress in human form
of matter and spirit both are born
Gd immortal our spirit reflects
the human form Gd manifest
when human spirit evolves to raise
to Divinity its earthly dust
thus alone can humans climb
higher than angels in their realm
Gd’s purpose then will be fulfilled
Divinity in earthly dust to dwell
