The Poetry of Spirituality
Category: Ascending to the Truth
To live here To die there ~ It is being That matters ~ The spirit’s Lightful presence ~ In this plain day Amongst shining trees ~ And flowers Everywhere. ~ Inspired by https://thecontemplativewriter.com/2018/05/22/thomas-mertons-prayer-for-pentecost/
It is all gift All meaning received Everything good I ever believed.
I met God In darkness Encounter with the unimaginable Unknown I met God In darkness And invisible Seeds were sown In darkness I met God And slowly Like roots In the darkness I’ve grown.
God is And everywhere There is nowhere Where God is not And so we can say That wherever I am Is I am
This flower This light God is In every moment And in every moment I am In God Inspired by Thomas Merton: "This flower, this light, this moment, this silence = Dominus est..."
Love Of God Piercing through me Like nails of light Brightening the invisible Dark clouds of night.
First The light And then the darkness Then the love That’s invisible Boundary-less.
Created in God I am Not what I think But God’s abundant Love creating me In deepest graceful mystery. Inspired by words by Thomas Merton: "The secret of my identity is hidden in God" Image by Ano Nymus from Pixabay
Without God The world Is full of threat And fear With God The loving spirit May gently Draw near. Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay
Not the silence Of fear But the silence Of listening Of appreciation The silence Of wonder Of divine revelation. Inspired by Thomas Merton - "The silence of the spheres is the music of a wedding feast"
