Mountains Touching Sky

Mountains touching sky

Mother Earth breathes in the rain

Moon bows to the sun

All symbols of God’s beauty

If we took time to notice

Quiet of the Soul

Quiet of the soul

Where we all can become one

With the Divine Spirit

He’s Called By Many Names

He’s called many names

God, Rom, Allah, Krishna, Christ

All are names of peace

It’s man who is violent

Not the Gods whom they worship

The New Dark Ages

The new dark ages

Through materialism

Divine supplanted

Mysteries Abound

Mysteries abound

Simply look out your window

And see the wonders

Time of Transition

Time of transition

Inevitable as birth

This is not the end

It’s simply the beginning

Of your spirit’s next journey

In Blissful Silence

In blissful silence

I sit simply listening,

Breathing in the sounds.

Tell me…how long has it been

Since I relished birds singing,

Crickets in summer,

The first flakes of winter’s snow

Wind rustling leaves.

It has been far, far too long

Since I’ve reached out to nature.

Too busy with life,

I seem to have forgotten

What is beautiful.

Perhaps it’s time to slow down

And take in God’s creation.

Fields of History

Fields of history

Strewn with blood and with corpses

Religions finest

Left to rot in their God’s sun

Could it be no one was right

O’ The Beauty, the Warmth of the Sun,

O’ the beauty, the warmth of the sun,

The bluest of blue skies, whitest of clouds floating on hidden breezes.

What worries do I have when surrounded by the Divine’s Creations?

Temporal pains hold no sway in the face of Heaven’s glorious perfection.

I gripe over aches, aging, suffering and death

Spending my life in pity over the trivial.

But why?

Is not peace and joy spread out before me,

Have I not been granted five senses for their pleasure?

What has been given proves to be insufficient,

An incessant want pervades my very being.

This ego drives me to horde ever more of the materialistic…

I am weak!

Lying back in the tall green grass I marvel at Heaven,

Watching birds of all variety crisscross its expanse.

Wondering…Perhaps they know the answer,

Living simply and in the moment,

Requiring nothing, but food and shelter.

Wasn’t this what was endowed to us by the Creator, In The Beginning

Until the day our egos drove us to sin.

Maybe it is time I step back,

Taking time to look for that little spark that burns within

…That is God.

To Be All Knowing

To be all knowing;

Would I become horrified…

Sickened by the thoughts?

Would I share in suffering

Or in humanities pain?

 

I really don’t know,

Maybe I would offer love

Or a helping hand.

I’d like to think myself brave,

But then again…I’m not God.
