Faith Poetry

"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding." Ephesians 1:7

For now they are all here together. Later I may subdivide them into more catagories.

The Dream of the Self

It is the dream of the Self,

'Tis the goal of the soul,

to reach for forgiveness

and to find salvation.

'Tis the path of the warrior

'Tis the road of the survivor

to thrive through it all

to surpass the inner limits.

'Tis the journey of the person

'Tis the way of the flesh,

to fail through fight,

to learn through strife.

'Tis the means of the heart

'Tis the growth of the mind,

to succcumb to pain,

to forgive the world.

'Tis the nature of the soul,

'Tis the need of the heart,

to judge no one

to accept everyone.

Inner Grace

'Tis inner grace that comes to thee

when all seems filled with loss.

'Tis thy heart which sings outloud,

when hope can not be found.

Listen Ye, to thy inner Self,

let wisdom find it's way.

The graceful song of natures love

will find thy troubled soul.

Know ye well, of natures gifts,

As miracles abound.

Thy troubled soul can now be healed,

through natures graceful song.

Of that which haunts thy troubled soul,

It's lessons ye now embrace.

Take them now and hold them tight,

For strength to ye they give.

So walk thee now, with hope renewed,

and songs within they soul.

Know this well, 'Tis in they Self,

Where truths be ever found.

Lifes' Ocean

Have we all lost our sense of who we once were?

Of who we are now, and of where we are headed?

As the wind forms light ripples upon the water,

I see the ocean as merely a reflection of the human soul.

It's banks are covered with rough corouded rocks,

yet they harbor many magificant life forms,

Although the water suffers mans constant abuse,

It miraculously continues to thrive and to grow.

Has humankind forgotten what he once knew?

What he once thought, what he once felt,

As a miracle of beauty unfolds before me,

I see the ocean as a reflection of the human heart.

Tribute to Great Mother Earth

Like the flames of fire that burn ever strong,

Within the Great Mother Earth,

So too, the fire burns deep within

the soul of my being.

As the flames reach upwards to grasp

the wonders held within life itself,

I too raise my arms, that I may

Come to know the joys of Her many gifts.

As the air is made clean by

the healing powers of the Great Father sky,

I too, travel amongst your open spaces,

that I may learn the secrets You hold dear.

Along my journey into time and space,

I bring with me great joy.

I linger amongst your many clouds,

that I may inherit their freedom.

As I stand upon the solid Earth

I come to know your awesome strength.

Humbled by even my own existence,

I am thankful to receive this glorious day.

As you travel along your given path

I too, travel along mine.

May we, one day come to rest,

to be joined, to ever be as one.

Strength from Within

When body and soul are not in union,

When days are filled with confusion,

When I am feeling so very blue,

I call upon the spirits true.

Tell me, great one, wise and strong,

What makes my journey so very long,

Reveal to me your secrets deep,

The joys of life, I wish to reap.

They say to me, through silent prayer,

The gifts of life are very rare.

Trust your soul with all your might.

That it will bring to you what's right.

Heal your body, heal your soul,

For that is how you'll reach your goal.

To find the peace within your heart,

Your inner soul is where to start.

At times it seems the journey's long,

But you are brave, and so very strong.

My worthy child, I say to you,

Walk the path I give to you.

Take the steps, one at a time,

Up the hills, you can climb,

I walk beside you, all the way,

Each and every single day.

Search inside your heart and soul,

For this is how to reach your goal.

Find the courage locked inside,

Your future dreams, you must abide.

Your hopes and dreams you will find,

As your journey does unwind.

As you do the things you must,

Keep the faith, keep the trust.

Thank-you spirits, so very wise,

For helping me to realize,

That in myself, I have the power,

To blossom bravely, into a flower.

The Greater Self

From Greater winds than I, comes life.

From greater widsom that I, comes truth.

From greater forces than I, come change.

From greater Beings than I, comes love

May the winds of life gracefully

brush against the being I call Self.

May the widsom of love teach

me the lessons I need to survive.

May the forces of change enable

me to grow to become the being that is the Self.

May the Beings of greater existence

continue to love and nurture me.

That I may become my

Greater Self.

Childrens Bedtime Prayer

The sun has set,

It's time for bed,

Goddess bless my sleepy head.

Earth and Water, Air and Fire,

Bring gentle dreams as I retire.

When the morning sun does rise,

I'll open up my sleepy eyes.

Thankful for a brand new day,

Among Your fields I will play

A letter to my soul mate

Like a fresh breeze from the ocean deep,

You move my spirit.

Like the scent of a fresh cut flower,

You inspire me.

Like a tidal wave roaring over the water,

You fulfill me.

With the power of a hurricane,

You grip my spirit.

Like the tenderness of a gentle breeze,

You touch my heart.

Like the droplets of dew upon a blade of grass,

You touch my soul.

As the soaring eagle needs it's wings,

I need you.

As the earth also needs the sun,

I need you.

Like the energies of the Universe,

May our love grow and remain constant.

Like the shadows of a lost Atlantis,

May our love last for eternity.
