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.

He, who walks behind the headstones
As the wind blew much colder than years before,
Amidst the shivering cattle
that stood for nothing
but convictions of selfishness
that only ignited pleasure,
A man appeared through the fog
walking softly across the blanketed snow,
he stood silently, adjacent from the lost souls,
as his thoughts were so grand and spectacular,
They could feel the ground shudder beneath him...
His words need no voice,
his gaze spoke of centuries.

They could feel the ground shudder beneath him...
His words need no voice,
his gaze spoke of centuries.

EVOLUTION is in the First Chapter of the Bible
Genesis 1.20,24 says that God commands NATURE to "bring forth" life:
"Let the WATERS bring forth the moving creatures...
Let the earth bring forth the living creatures.."
Here we have the idea that God enabled NATURE to do what it would not ordinarily be able to do !!
If Jesus enabled a man with a withered hand to extend it - it was a miracle for the man to do so.
Likewise, for NATURE in the form of "the waters..the earth" to create ("bring forth") life (and speciation),
it was nothing short of a special MIRACLE.
My point is (Theistic) EVOLUTION is...

The Stars
I believe in fate
And everything happens for a reason
I'm reminded of this every time I look at the stars
I like the feeling I get knowing something greater is out there
Somewhere, somehow
Everything big and small means something
I feel like I'm guided by the night sky
Taken on a journey
Forever wandering this planet
I fear nothing when I think of this invisible force
I like thinking this way
I'm at peace with this world
If there is anything I am certain of in life
It's that everything will be okay as long as I can see the...

Ripples
Would the universe be any different if you or I were never born
I guess the earth would still revolve the same as ever before
Casting pebbles into the infinite sending ripples far and wide
Changes something in some way as each expanding circle collides
How do we truly affect earth in all we do, say and believe
Cannot be fully seen in each moment as our ripples expand endlessly
The miracle of the heart beats for more than love alone
For the ripple of its compassion continues after the pebble is thrown
The immortal web of the universe changes...

Oh thy grooveless heart
Just reductive jamming hoity-toity fuddyness
The poesy la-di-das blissful deconstructionist
Always unclear in novelistic shines of tragedy
Train stolid crash of melodramatic insincerity,
They cycle back slick on the air wit so stylized
By yore time made to cause allegory unwind
A wiz, as symbolist windings pseudo poeting
Such effrontery to tell fortuitous highfaluting,
The intellected obscurity inherently contrary
With a partial farce as their sendup mockery

Pharisees
You kiss his face to give the sign, not knowing he's aware
But your heart can't hide, the truth that lies, within your soulless stare
So bow your head and pay your dues, try to buy yourself some time
"Ye HYPOCRITES" in fancy clothes and the "spotless" cars you drive
No room for dirt, no room for dark, as ego takes the lead
We thank you for your words, we thank you for your shine...now move over so we can see
For the Son of God is coming back, with a shout he'll recompense

God uses a wah-wah pedal
As hereabout mystics warp the sensation space
Dropping a center mind ocular twisted staircase
As this aged one phenomenon, all are born apart
Never will forget as to bend the memory crosse
Writhen the blow to their mental coup de grace
Wander near their wilderness, still to roam in part
Interface in oblique amidst self-induced trance
Undulation upon their seal by a spiritual dance
Godhead distortion to rock but nevermore to part
Dropping a center mind ocular twisted staircase
As this aged one phenomenon, all are born apart
Never will forget as to bend the memory crosse
Writhen the blow to their mental coup de grace
Wander near their wilderness, still to roam in part
Interface in oblique amidst self-induced trance
Undulation upon their seal by a spiritual dance
Godhead distortion to rock but nevermore to part

JESUS' THOUGHTS ON THE CROSS
JESUS' THOUGHTS ON THE CROSS
I feel my sheep's deep grief more than my pain.
Their hearts are bleeding though they don't complain.
Their gloom has dressed their faces with despair.
My cross brings them a plight too big to bear.
Three days in tomb, but then l will rise up
and tint their gloomy hearts with hues of hope.
Delighted they will be and filled with faith
as l can overcome the might of death.
They'll live a kind of thrill so new to them
as thorns of mighty death can cause no harm.
When they discern that l from death...

Seasons of Cornucopia
Emotionally and hopefully, mindfully,
I walked along our given shoreline
collecting a cornucopia of interesting
looking pebbles, smoothed glass
and shells of creatures
who traveled to the interconnectedness
of us all long ago.
Based on active disconcerting waves
I feel our ocean is restless as my soul
is now and then.
Reaching down again
I pick up a fistful of sand.
I notice how the sand slips through
no matter how tight I strengthen
my grasp.
Thinking about time and my...
