musings on religious conversion

the well intended but deluded soul took on itself to spread God’s word the fixation soon became its mission to rescue those deemed wayward the vulnerable who suffer on earth tottering on the very edge of despair clutch at wisps of straw so proffered but of absolute truth remain unaware there is no solace in words and symbols scriptures merely point out direction we each need to walk on the path alone paving way for our soul’s resurrection the entity who seeks must drop away God cannot be caged in conditioned belief the light eternal is loftier than mind thinks in vibrancy of staid stillness turn a new leaf

A relationship with God is the most personal one we can have. It is a solo journey of the heart and soul. If He calls to us, there must be something He deems worthy. Inspiring, Seeker.

Dear Seeker, Profound and soul hitting, i agree and feel this poem so very much. So many fixated on complicating simple things when reality is as youv said “ the light eternal is loftier than mind thinks” “ but of absolute truth remain unaware“ brilliant! I love every line in this. Especially the opening! So true. Pleasure reading this poem. Sending you light always
