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.

Climbing up the stairs
Leaving down all despairs
And without any scares
Because I'm all about dares
Leaving down all despairs
And without any scares
Because I'm all about dares

The first time
I heard the word Sister
was when my older one died—
I was too young to remember
inside a nascent emptiness
unfilled by a brother
There is something indescribable
that happens to a middle child
when they become the eldest;
a salient discombobulation
solidifying over time—
whether or not you qualify

emptiness
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ Luke 12:20 NIV
is your god yourself,
who sits proud on your high shelf?
do you crave acclaim,
as you worship your own name?
is humility
bitter medicine you flee,
as the dispossessed
crumble low at your behest?
do you boast aloud,
self-superior to the crowd,
as you cast your bones
to the dog man full of groans?
do you build new barns
for the surplus from...

do you believe in life after death"
looking up... Yes
"what happens, what comes next, is this all just happening again"
think the snake that eats its tail
brother do want to know how old I am
"I don't understand"
Smiling... think atlantian old, do you
think all this technology is new
discoveries. You're telling me they built
the pyramids with hammer and chisel?
"it does seem like this is all happening again"
nodding... Phone rings
You and I...

Stand
who I am to stand
before the LORD Almighty
I am not worthy
fear overtakes me
my trembling knees give way
my eyes face downward
tears begin falling
at the pierced feet of Jesus
his presence comforts
he calls out to me
my child you are forgiven
remember the cross
I rise from my knees
his love for me is enough
to stand before him
before the LORD Almighty
I am not worthy
fear overtakes me
my trembling knees give way
my eyes face downward
tears begin falling
at the pierced feet of Jesus
his presence comforts
he calls out to me
my child you are forgiven
remember the cross
I rise from my knees
his love for me is enough
to stand before him

Qualified to take a consort
Yet, for the benefit of all living beings
He showed the outer aspect of renunciation.
His inward aspect was bodhichitta, having a heart of the wish to free all living beings from the sleep if ignorance.
Upon a very subtle wind is mounted a very subtle mind of bliss and wisdom realising emptiness, not dual, pure and made if wisdom light.
Within each living being is the seed to enlightenment. The union of Bliss and emptiness. A state of eternal love.

Project Optometry Evolved
What is life Eternal, what is the meaning of forever?? In the reality forced upon the living, these perceptions must be aggressively severed. Everything erased, slate whipped and brought back together. Feeling deranged I was seemingly stripped of all, but being. When abusive power became birthplace of thoughtless agreeing, and lost was the ability of seeing thru my own… 3rd gates chained shut by running from truth, being poisoned by pain, and controlled by fear. I'm convinced that this is truly a gift that must be gained, honing the greatest of all weapons attained. The sheer power of control...

Golden Harvest
Behold, as thy souls lie down
heavy once across standing fields,
while hours pass, among treasures
each plucked and gathered upon harvest,
lifted, counting among the multitude
a journey of splendor shall rest,
yet to rise again, rejoicing forever.
heavy once across standing fields,

all because I said god damn
my whole body is broken
but I still have my will
our beliefs are different
and yet I love you still
but you push me away
because I don’t believe in god
i can’t work for my own way
so you guys help me out a lot
and in a fleeting moment
when I was far too slammed
yeah, I might’ve really fucked up
all because I said god damn
so now we’re not talking
you won’t answer the phone
you say that it’s alright
that you know I’m full grown
but you say you’ll leave me
if I don’t get my shit...
but I still have my will
our beliefs are different
and yet I love you still
but you push me away

Eternal Bliss
Neither am I happy nor am I sad
Wrongly thinking of myself as this body with which I am clad
I am the absence of sound the eternal essence
You can take my body away but not my presence
I want to be grateful to this power that led me to this path
The sounds of the universe moving like ripples in the bath
Here’s my predicament, I am that power
Knowing there’s no difference between the known and the knower
All I can do is to marvel and to watch
The suffering of this world that has no match
Wish I could yell out loud, wish I could tell...

As writers we all crawled out from Gogols overcoat, no?
Maybe it's because I'm Aussie
full European
bit of gypsy blood
wanderlust shoes
Something about Russian philosophy
if you find what's good
don't hoard it, share it around
The way to freedom
is in the deeper gnowing of my soul
