Author's Note: "Poetry and the Occult" is a specialty poem that I originally wrote and completed on October 13, 2018. I decided to pursue this particular theme based on an earlier poem I had written and developed under the title of "Poetry and the Soul," which I had completed on November 25, 2017. Both of these poems and the narratives I created on them gave me a chance to do some very interesting research on exploring mankind's relationship to the ethereal world, the world of the supernatural and the unknown, mankind's relationship to God, as well as, darkness, fear, temptation, and the divine role and ongoing relationship that defines the current environment of mankind's presence in the challenging world we all live in today.

Poetry and the Occult
The human psyche and its thirst for both inward
and outward reflection finds its medium in poetry.
The source of poetry’s metaphorical power and its
wonderment exist in the realm of the supernatural.
Poetry oft reflects many arcane notions of the mysterious
as it thrusts mankind into the reality of the ethereal world.
The precepts of the everyday world of mankind may be
inherently challenged, at times, by the aura of the unknown.
Mankind’s historic pathway to true enlightenment brings
each of us closer to God as we seek His divine attention.
The mystical evolution of our individual soul bodies
helps us to understand who we are in relation to God.
The most essential aspect of all of this is for mankind
to have true faith always in the power of the Almighty.
Mankind must never fall prey to fear, temptation, and
darkness which personify the Devil’s earthly presence.
The past, present, and future speak to our soul’s essence,
And poetry’s one impetus to awaken us to our divine role!
