Spiritual Poems by Top Critiquers

When I am silent,  
I have thunder hidden inside.    
~ Rumi    
     
Noise germinates verbiage -    
  culturing communication  
  inside petri-dished moments    
     
When distance dissipates    
  proximity dissolves necessity      
  of sound beyond breathing

Barrel-chested rhythms    
  replace words with innate understanding;

blood becomes a messenger    
  subcutaneously carrying    
  an antidote of silence    
superior to our human language      
     
What is...

Who is He that will bless all the nations?
"He, is the faithful witness who witnesses our actions,
both good and bad"
Shows up in all our weakness
He is and ark of those who take refuge in him
He trained the untrained
combined words with power
kept himself pure
aggressive against the enemy
overcame family problems
tore down false religions
broke cultural stereotypes
He was tempted by evil
Yet he was meek before God
He was a righteous sufferer
Mistreated by many around him
He obeyed and prepared
He prayed...
