Prayers For Peace

*The Coming of the Light*
Through the storm of morose memory,
The white, winsome, winters of night,
Arise reborn, all new beginnings,
So comes, the dawning of the Light.

Thrown off are coverings, which divide,
Those of cloth and coin held tight.
Open wide your hearts,
Let loose the tide,
Rejoice and welcome,
The coming of the Light.

*Soul Stance*
Dark the eve, but bright the dawn;
The sun returns, the Earth’s reborn.
Upon the turning and the chime,
Each race, each culture, God’s divine,
Yet within the ebb and flow,
Of blood and tide, the spirit goes….
Attempting with each opened mind,
To join the whole, for all of time……….

*Holy Days*
In the darkest days of Winter,
When only snow retains the glow
Of sunshine and summer days;
We go within our memories
To the heart of Home.

We peek deep within wide open doors ,
Full of light and hearth fires glow,
Full of warmth and wonder,
For the lore of Home.

These are the days most Holy,
Gifted by the Lord of Love;
True Holy days in the womb of wonder,
When we are welcomed home.

*God’s Side*
Between the between’s,
Where the vastness of Universes,
Comprise the backbone of cosmic structure.

Where comets create neural synapses;
And plasma pulses nourish black holes;
Where solar flares erupt,
Spewing spasms of information,
Into the abyss of space.

In this sublime endless, mindful, state;
Where neither up nor down,
Now, nor then, exist,
Where is God’s side?

*God’s Voice*
Whether Jesus comes to listen to you pray,
Or the Moon and the Stars show the way.

Whether Buddha sits smiling over all,
Or Allah listens from minarets tall.

Perhaps, Hindu Gods guard your dark nights.
Or Jehovah sees your candle lights.

The Sky Father may brighten your day,
Earth Mother’s eyes may watch as you play.

No matter the season or the choice.
Know,
All Goodness speaks with God’s voice.

Happy Holy Days

Hi there greetings to you. This is a very interesting poem, very creative indeed. Thank you for commenting on my poem TIME. You talked to me about a blog, and that you are trying to help us make some sales for the holidays. I am trying to publish my poetry book, before the holiday, need help with writing my manuscript. Do you have any ideas? This will be my first book. I am writing two other books also. Stay Blessed, Gloria

Sounds like the Precept's call itself Debbie!! Sound the trumpet in Sion! When there is at least a single acorn in Love's life system, for a blind hog in a thousand moons, looks like it would be more desirable. Seem 99% of the world is lost in the gross darkness of their own mind illusions!! O well, the wake up call continues. One here and one there will see and flow together in the light. Awesome verse!Agape, Moses

I think we all yearn for "The coming of the light." Your piece shines beautifully. As regards book or books for sale. I have a couple of novels I'm trying to find agents for. So far no luck. Love, Dave

I know that it does not matter what faith we are. If we love each other and treat each other with respect our creator would be pleased. I do not have a book out as yet, not sure who to publish with. I do have a few poems in a book called On Butterfly Wings by Global Poets Guild and can be purchased at Amazon.com Thank you for asking. God Bless Phyl

It doesn't matter which faith we follow, as long as we treat each other righteously our Creator will be pleased. This is wonderfully written, Deb. As per the latest book, it's "Colonizing Atlantis, the New Earth" and can be purchased at www.publishamerica.com. Thanks for asking. Hope you'll give my new contest a shot too! Love, Carolyn

A powerful use of alliteration in this wide investigation ... the candlelight flashing every which way in the progress of the journey. Then to come to rest on the rock of God's goodness that the gospel says leads us to repentance. It's all for the thanksgiving

Tis the season and your openness makes me jolly. Soul Stance is my fave. In reference to my Senryu "Thoughtful", I'm talking about an ex girlfriend. =)
