Spiritual Poems
Commit
by Cassie Frazier
I relapsed today. Not in a drug way!
No!
Stop— it’s more complicated than that.
It’s okay, I’m fine,
I mean; why wouldn’t I be?

A Choice
by Ken Ripley
Death is a wall we cannot see
What is beyond or meant to be.
So we place our fate in speculation
Or hold the hope of revelation.
What Jesus did and claimed to show
Is truth beyond what we can know.
So we can choose to doubt his grace
Or follow him and see God’s face.
To Live in the Mercy of God
by Denise Levertov
To lie back under the tallest
oldest trees. How far the stems
rise, rise
before ribs of shelter
open!
To live in the mercy of God. The complete
sentence too adequate, has no give.
Awe, not comfort. Stone, elbows of
stony wood beneath lenient

My God remember me
by Sharon Morgan
When my beating heart refuses to beat
And the breath of life proceeds to leave,
My God, I beg that you please,
Please remember me.
As a product of your works
You made me, me
I am unique, a person,

Set, my Protector and I, his Devout
by Mya Hamilton
Yer touch upon my brow, so kind and tentative
all those days under the warmth of the sun.
I felt the scorching sand between my toes,
and I knew yer energy then, and I hid.
How good are ya oh holy Set, the deity of We,
the people not of yer homeland?
He came and he hailed yer arrival,
yer presence greatly needed in
the lonely life of mine.

Be You
by John Duffy
Foundation.
With the considerable rise of AI software on all social media and business platforms, will humanity lose its creative edge?
Will you be tempted to do so?

Be You

Bethlehem
by Somali Mukherjee
Where's that Bethlehem?
I toiled hard to find out that
It's right in my heart.
Spiritual Initiation and How to Self-Certify that You are Enlightened
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
What is the meaning of Spiritual Initiation?
It is a start to reach our ultimate destination
The guidance of a Guru can take us there faster
But for this, we need an Enlightened Master!
Initiation is the beginning of our Journey to the Truth
It is the way to get to the bottom of the root
Why Spiritual Initiation? Why must we go on a Quest?
Why must we put our beliefs to test?
Because of ignorance, what we were taught in schools

The secret of heart - Alexis karpouzos
by alexis karpouzos
In the quiet chambers, where the soul resides, There lies a sacred wisdom, where true knowledge hides. Beyond the realms of logic, beyond the mind's vast art, There blooms a deeper knowing, the knowledge of the heart.
It whispers in the silence, in the spaces in between, In moments soft and tender, in visions deeply seen. It's felt in every heartbeat, in the rhythm of life's song, A truth that's pure and timeless, where hearts forever long.
This knowledge needs no language, no words to understand, It's written in the actions, in the touch of a loving hand. It sees beyond the surface, to the essence deep inside, A bridge that spans the distance, where souls can safely hide.
For in the heart's own knowing, there's a wisdom vast and true, A guide through all the shadows, a light in every hue. It teaches us compassion, to see with loving eyes, The beauty in each moment, where grace and wonder lie.
So trust the heart's own wisdom, let its knowledge be your guide, In every step you take, in every tear you've cried. For in the heart's own keeping, there's a wisdom pure and bright, A path to deeper meaning, where day transforms to night.
