Into darkness and death

Bereavement
Of soul’s breath and light

I started to learn
About suffering

Saw clearly now
What before was out of sight.

Soul
The soul is patient
The soul is kind
.
The soul is not self-seeking
And does not rejoice in wrongdoing
.
The soul rejoices
With the truth
.
The soul bears all things
Blieves all things
.
Hopes all things
Endures all things
.
The soul
Never ends
.
And hope
Faith and love
.
In the soul
These remain
.
And the greatest of these
Is love.

The Story Waits in Darkness
.
What flourishing
For the soul
.
Saturated by incense
Myrrh and gold?
.
The story waits
In darkness
.
And by workmen
Wise men

Spirits
Must be told.

Enter The Castle
.
Enter the castle
By prayer and reflection
.
Inhabit each room
Through divine meditation
.
The door of life
Opens
.
And before
Is the way
.
Of wisdom
Of love
.
And of soul’s
Salvation.

Inspiring Poems: “Wisdom and Spirit of the universe”
” WISDOM and Spirit of the universe!
Thou Soul, that art the Eternity of thought!
And giv’st to forms and images a breath
And everlasting motion! not in vain,
By day or star-light, thus from my first dawn
Of childhood didst thou intertwine for me
The passions that build up our human soul;
Not with the mean and vulgar works of Man;
But with high objects, with enduring things,
With life and nature; purifying thus
The elements of feeling and of thought,
And sanctifying by such discipline
Both pain and fear,–until we recognise
A grandeur in the beatings of the heart. “
by William Wordsworth (from “The Prelude”)
Questions of the Soul
.
What is
The dark inscrutable
.
Workmanship
That reconciles
.
The elements
Of humankind?
.
Does science
Or religion
.
Solve the riddles
Of human time?
.
And what
After aeons of searching
.
Do we ultimately
Find?
.
Inspired by Wordsworth: “There is a dark / Inscrutable workmanship that reconciles…” (The Prelude, 1.340-341)
