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.

I’m sorry,
To throw it all at you
On a second thought
It’s all your Pastor’s fault
Who opened the church
Who told the congregation it’s safe enough in church
Who is standing idle on the pulpit observing social distance
But you all are clustered together like sheeps in a flock
Believing you are immune and being in church is the only way this pandemic can be fought
Saying Amen to a sermon on how this virus can’t be caught
I’m sorry,
To throw it all at you
On a second thought
It’s all your Pastor’s fault
Who opened the church
Who told the congregation it’s safe enough in church
Who is standing idle on the pulpit observing social distance
But you all are clustered together like sheeps in a flock
Believing you are immune and being in church is the only way this pandemic can be fought
Saying Amen to a sermon on how this virus can’t be caught

ISN'T THAT A PROOF?
My Lord, You taught Your men for just three years,
but could establish what no man can do.
They ate the bread and drank the wine, You changed
Into Yourself to be a complete You.
A person eats Your Sacrament and gets
a Christ through Whom You can instruct and speak.
Those people can achieve Your will on earth,
and each can fulfil Your way to the peak.
These deeds have proved You are the Lord, my God,
Who can perform His work from His great height.
Through miracles You live in lots of men,

Clearly (Instrumental by FALLEN)
Why do, Why do you, no..
I do, I do this to myself
Myself, I do this
To myself...
Forgetting this is my path and only I can walk it
Missing it oh my bad like look at who is talking
I'm in conflict, honest, feeling like a ship wreck
Here I am still scrubbing deck, yeah that makes a lot of sense
Hold me in this moment so that I may see more clearly
What is it I notice? hoping that somebody hears me
Feeling like a reject, yeah that be a cheap guess
See stress in all my weakness, yes, I need this
Give away all that I...

In the trenches with the NHS
Fast they stood untill they fell
an army with no guns; just war
the mile of all compassion seen
the tired smiles, the often tear
Smothered in a safety shell
the Hyppocratic Oath they swore
the battle rage with foe unseen
for in that work they are THE team
For all they did "for the sick, the ill. the frail"
the day the month how long the chore
for each roll upon deaths drum
some survive and some succumb
That the enemy can be curtailed
the fight be won and health...

Mentation Incantation Sensation
What Do You Mean Quarantined ?
I Am A Radical Magickal Libertine
Perceive The Picture Unbound By Stricture
I Quaff The Essence Of Life's Elixir
Hail Dionysus I Am Yours And The Rest Of Us
At Your Altar Shall Never Be Treasonous
Those Who Abstain , Their Life Shall Drain
Overconcern And Worry Shall Rot Their Brains
We Dance Entranced Under Full Silver Moon
Knowing Those In Tune Are Now And Shall Be Immune !
Hail Inanna !
Hail The Ancient Goddess And Gods !

After The Final Moment
He looked down on me
with sympathy:
"It will only get worse
until you learn".
Ripped from the room
I saw his mother, covered in black,
our son passed into the arms
of another man
I saw my friends
with their shame, their secrets.
When my angel put her hand on mine
she looked through me like an old lover.
Memories flooded back in the white light,
through my father's dissapointment.

System
you need lots of space
to spark up a star
a few planets
scattered here and there
then revolve the lot
in a counter-clockwise motion
sit yourself down and wait
in the middle of the night
look around
and wonder
to spark up a star
a few planets
scattered here and there
then revolve the lot
in a counter-clockwise motion
sit yourself down and wait
in the middle of the night
look around
and wonder

The point one percent
There is the 1% of wealth
and the 1% of spiritual realization
and the intersection of the two
is less likely than being struck by lightning
the same day as winning the lottery.

WE IGNORE WHAT SIN IS.
WE IGNORE WHAT SIN IS.
He forgave all who killed Him on the cross
as they were not aware what they had done.
No one who knows what sin can be will throw
himself in burning hell, which spoils his earth!
We don't know what sin is and what it brings,
remorse and painful gnashing of the teeth.
Will man seek such tormenting fate if he
knows that his sin will fetch him much regret?
We are too small to ken the vital truth
that makes us know and set us fully free.
We think that fire is so bright and nice;
we burn our hands, and...

Dirt
You cannot take the Earth from me
she's mine, I'm hers, each leaf and seed
the dirt beneath my nails is hers
the rain, the sun, the fish, the birds
is this the end of all that's free?
you cannot take the seas from me
the waves belong to ocean's womb
the tides are tied unto the moon
the air we breathe, all nature's gift
a precious home on cosmic drift
you cannot take the atmosphere
or keep it as a souvenir
The lore below is as above
and what you sow is what you love
the harvest is what sets us free ...

You Are In Everything
You are in everything. The book is light, but showing the world you love is important
I was once again a child in the heart of nature, dying again in the wild spirit of a wolf that lives for hundreds of years. Your brain stays like a shadow
The shadows of humanity, also healthy. "Life is Power. Put others first"
Glass of glass. A million things ring out in themselves. I am, as you know. Learn, accumulate and lose nothing. Be also like the grass and dense with self
