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.

EGO
For God do we all search
In temple, mosque, and church
Little do we know that the ego does hide
That very God that lives inside
We must let go of the ego
If God we must find
And for this, we must realize
The biggest enemy is the mind
But first, it is the ego
That keeps saying 'I' and 'me'
It dominates our life so much
That God we cannot see
God is not on a faraway planet
Nor an old man with a long white beard
God lives in the temple of our heart
Alas, his voice is not heard

Gratitude
So you want it real. . .as in honesty—
the kind that rattles your spirit
as a straight-up shot of whiskey,
no rocks or fruity drinks;
well, okay. . .
mine is gratitude
because it's 100 proof, real
honest and true—
it's also handmade
from my own copper still
See, at my age, I know
what conflicts are
regardless of circumstance—
mere opportunities to grow
regardless of resolution
They propel the vibration
of our evolution toward Unity
while...

Reverse Origami
He handed me a paper butterfly
beautiful, complete -
and uncharacteristically,
I accepted it on faith
admiring its perfection
Normally it's my compulsion -
unfolding the delicate mysteries
Those crisp creases
that converge in a point
Taking away dimensions
to make things comprehensible
A path to wholeness
that I can replicate
with confidence:
reverse origami
but over and over you say
Surrender
that need for understanding
(control)
Pause the doing

Transference Through Acceptance of Balance
To recognize
the principle of love, it must be
seen from mindful awareness
To funnell love through the stem
of morality, Is not love
Fill your mind, your body with
guilt and fear, it will flourish
within an empty heart,
It leaves no room for good
intentions
We know , now
Yet, we continue on in ignorance,
looking for truth, it's how we define ourselves, as if it were an individual uniqueness, that can only be
attained, by struggle and heartache.

Guide to Healing
Let the psalms of my palms
salve your being
benevolent auroras
your soul's structure
scenting your senses
awakening your pores
in karmic knowing
kneading , tracing
tissue and
forget me not
knotts
tied within
soiled vernal '
viral streams
Intristic islands
trigger point purpose
vibrato loins
open
Lotus like
chasmed chakras
begin to speak again
a hymned ballet ...

The Love of Scarcity is the Root of All Evil
Ah! no!
I hear them
but it’s really the
love of money it said!
If you love money
you love disparity
not prosperity

the goddess of mother hood appears for everyone to chairish

Antidote
The battle rages inside me
A tug of war
Back and forth for my soul
The righteous path is clearly
Laid out before me
Yet is deceptively
Hard to follow
A life saving antidote
Impossible to swallow
Lord, even though I may stray
Help me keep my eyes on the path
And in my heart please stay
A tug of war
Back and forth for my soul
The righteous path is clearly
Laid out before me
Yet is deceptively
Hard to follow
A life saving antidote
Impossible to swallow
Lord, even though I may stray
Help me keep my eyes on the path
And in my heart please stay

The Musalist, The Muse, and a God for Obsolescence
A minimalism of muse leads me where i mighta gone to any'way.
It's minimal musealism of utter practically between the midnight,
And the glow of another sunrise, & hey, I get a piece of that pie
before it hits
The Spot ........
who's The Muse, anyway? Which way did her Museability fly?
I need her delicate, guiding hand to show the Western Land.
It's a dream for an Afterlife where souls (us all) wait for a
'personal interview' having to do with little of the contemporary
scene. It's an old place. So old, no one knows. So old as...
