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.

Priorities
Once my priorities of noteworthy centered around success and making money. Till the Grim Reaper, that sneaky shadowy creeper, surrounded my heart with a cancerous tumor.
For nearly a year he tried to drag me through Death's door, across a needle strewn floor, but I resisted his persistence. Finally, the Grim Reaper disappeared but not before saying, "Be rest assured, someday I will return."
Forever after my priorities have changed. Money has become nothing more than an annoying necessity. Success is defined by treating others as I would me.

a faithful promise
2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. 3For I am the LORD your God…” —Is. 43:2, 3 (NIV)
i will be a bridge for you
if you cannot cross your river
gently climb upon my shoulder
i will save you from death’s coup
if you cannot bear your burden
i will be a bridge for you
gratified to rendezvous
where life’s strains lithe spirits harden ...
they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. 3For I am the LORD your God…” —Is. 43:2, 3 (NIV)
i will be a bridge for you
if you cannot cross your river
gently climb upon my shoulder
i will save you from death’s coup
if you cannot bear your burden
i will be a bridge for you
gratified to rendezvous
where life’s strains lithe spirits harden ...

JUST LOOK UP
Just as the seasons change so does the element as we know as life. But as each day turns into night, we look, search, and seek what sometimes isnt there as we wish it was there to be apart of our lives. But that is not to say things cant change, for evenually they do change, some for the better some for the worse.
Just like each time a day turns into night,...
Just like each time a day turns into night,...

Demiurge
Does anybody
in this sad day and age
trueiy
understand why
we are trained
not to believe
to never even
take a peek
behind the curtain
of these thoughts
we are told
not to receive
Beyond our brain
Beyond our pain
Beyond the the thing
that drives us
towards
Our Material Abyss
in this sad day and age

Fish and Chips
I know we haven’t had the best of relationships,
We don’t talk as much like we use to over fish and chips,
But I see you in a different way,
Not as a man
But as something bigger than what the human brain can comprehend,
You’re like…
The universe…
And all the good that life represents,
Yet we’re free to choose in what to believe.
I’m not mad or angry at anything,
I’m just sad at how everything has turned out to be,
How the ugly the world can get,
It’s like they forget
About kindness and sympathy.

Boris
Boris
Is the sun superior to the moon?
The moon is illuminated from the sunlight.
With no sun the moon could not be seen.
Would it still be there? How would we ever know?
*Boris rises from his chair*
Of course it would be there. But you would never know.
Because without the sun you would have never existed.

a contemplating soul
one's soul just simply wants to leave this body, not some sort of legacy; one's soul would like to know without doubt that there's guarantee one's soul itself won't entirely cease;
honestly; the only thing that keeps one's soul bound by gravity, is the fear of the possibility of no longer experiencing some form of being-preferably as free and aware energy;
no longer bound to earth's gravity; no longer weighed down by this image known as human being;
there is no "easy" way to exit; the door is always there for me; most times...

Ophidians (Sky_dancer & Tallen)
I, of fire, dwell amidst a garland of flames.
My sex and spirit combined in a double helix,
My darkness and light both clearly visible.
I am the Dragon of the fire element.
Feminine lush, I am protector of Gaia’s keep
During the day of heat
The night of cold, cool and sleep
Diligent
Watchful
I am the Dragon of the element earth
Holder of the Wisdom Pearl,
I wind through clouds, on the air,
to the heavens, celestial dweller.
I come to thee, Gaia's keeper, to entwine.

universal consciousness
archaic gnosis
childlike untrammeled curiosity
children

no longer being pushed

Silent Night
Although, the lids of my eyes weigh heavily upon me, my eyes remain unclosed,
as sleep escapes me.
After many restless nights of laying in silent darkness, I hear a malicious voice, within the space of my ears, softly whispering, "kill, kill, kill."
I scan the darkness surrounding me.
All is pitch black.
Shuddering frantically, I cry, "whose there?
Show yourself."
The voice of silent darkness has no reply.
Suddenly, A thin web of light reflects off the glass; finding itself staring deep into the eyes of a remorseful figure.
as sleep escapes me.
After many restless nights of laying in silent darkness, I hear a malicious voice, within the space of my ears, softly whispering, "kill, kill, kill."

Your Body
The words
life and death
together
is wrong
it should be
life as we know it
or the unknown
but even that
is wrong
because
sooner or later
the unknown
will come knocking
on your door
where the choice
is not yours
to choose
you will embrace
your fear
of losing
what you held
so dear
All these years
life and death
together
is wrong
it should be
life as we know it
or the unknown
but even that
is wrong
because

the unknown
will come knocking
on your door

ACT III
Life is a play told in 3 parts
struggle is the first Act and sometimes in prebirth it starts
Act 2 is survival
it beings upon our arrival
Once we leave our Mother's safe space
we enter a world that is one scary place
In which living can be a long physical and psychology nightmare
and sometimes more than a human can bear
The final Act is one of redemption
where we fight to rectify the evils we have done that we dare not mention
We pray our souls will be set free
then we come to the end of Act III
struggle is the first Act and sometimes in prebirth it starts
Act 2 is survival
it beings upon our arrival
Once we leave our Mother's safe space
we enter a world that is one scary place
In which living can be a long physical and psychology nightmare
and sometimes more than a human can bear
The final Act is one of redemption
where we fight to rectify the evils we have done that we dare not mention
We pray our souls will be set free
then we come to the end of Act III
