What is it you see
Trapped behind my pale blue eyes
Spark of God in flesh?

Drift Amongst The Stars (Haiku)
Drift amongst the stars
Each one a spark of heaven
In the form of man

Blinded by the sun
Heaven showing it’s glory
To lesser beings

There’s Nothing To Fear
There’s nothing to fear
Death cannot hostage my soul
For it’s immortal
Born and reborn many times
Until reaching perfection
When it is released
Into the Lord’s loving hands

I Am Not A Wise Man

I am not a wise man,
Questions–I have so many,
A seeker am I.
No–this is not a complaint.
My path is profoundly worn,
Worn by ancestors
All belonging to my tribe,
My brother humans.
Neither the first nor the last;
Others will travel this road
Leaving blood and sweat
As markers of their journey…
Of this I am sure.
I take solace in this fact
That I’ve not ventured alone.

Coptic Christians Killed (Tanka)
Coptic Christians killed
No God would sanction murder
In his Holy name
Call them just what they are…thugs
Taking Allah’s Name in vain

The Spark Extinguished
The spark extinguished,
There is no kindling to reignite the flame.
Light as air, the ash is blown to the four winds
Until nary a trace can be found.
What proof is there that it ever really existed
That it belonged to this dimension.
Attempts to congeal fail
As the miniscule journey ever farther afield.
Their mark on this world, nil in the eyes of many,
Insignificant and unimportant,
This would be wrongly assumed.
We would not know this place without them,
So intertwined is all matter
That without the most minute speck
Life would be forever altered from this reality.
There is nothing insignificant or unimportant,
From the lowly ash and graceful dragonfly
To the mighty elephant and the whole of mankind,
Everything visible and invisible is the perfect creation…
Under Heaven.

Close Your Tired Eyes
Close your tired eyes
Quiet your exhausted mind
A surprise awaits
He has been there all along
Since the very day of birth
Too busy to see
He sat back and simply watched
Waiting for the time
Now in your silence he speaks
Hello my child…I Am God

Angels And Demons
Angels and Demons
Share in this magical place,
This world of man.
What lies between us and them
Is a thin vail disguised as faith.
The faithless believe
There is no God, no Heaven,
There is no Hell, no darkness,
No Lucifer, no Angels,
No war between good and evil,
But they are just fooling themselves.
Call upon them, will them into the light
And they will surely make their presence known.
Look out your window, read the news,
Remember your best and worst dreams,
You will see the unseen at work.
Deny they exist if you must,
But know they live,
Just beyond the reach…
Of your five mortal senses.

Cynicism (Acrostic)
Could I be my own worst enemy,
Yearning for perfection in this world and knowing it can never be?
Nothing can satisfy me as I watch the cruelty of man,
Inflicting pain and suffering on each other,
Crimes–inexcusable by any of God’s sacred texts.
Irreverent and blasphemous fools are these
Scandalous in their deep seated hatred
Maring the kindness and love of the doctrines they so staunchly claim to defend.
