Spiritual Visions

Spiritual visions are gifted not to just a select few
May the warm glow embrace us in calm sincere rapture
Allow not dogma guide us toward an elusive grand view
Or a truer and lusher emerald pasture

By grace, our inner sanctum ignites in a blaze
leaving all judgements behind to gather dust on the shelf
The experience serves to enlighten and amaze
It's best to keep our visions to ourselves

Enjoyed the write, Robert, and gained more insight with your comments below. Yes, we should ponder and meditate on our visions, not necessarily share them when we barely understand. God bless and thank you for commenting on my poem!!

Robert, I like how you explain that we don't have a monopoly on spiritual beliefs. I think that is what you mean by our visions. When something actually appears in front of us as a byproduct of our imagination I would hope viewers understand it is a reflection of what's going inside ourselves. Take care.

You surely got my gist. It's about self-integrity, which is supremely important for our mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Thank you for your words, Robert

How lovely is this Robert? A personal vision which comforts our inner being. "...Leaving all judgements behind to gather dust on a shelf." We all need to experience to have a gentle, kinder, soul toward each other... I have to favorite this Robert, your insightful words bring an ingredient that we should all would be grateful to experience my friend.

Thx Michael. We should trust and honor our inner awakenings without handing them over for interpretations. These graced moments are gifted to us alone!

Robert, spiritual experiences are often very personal with no need to be shared. People tend to be very judgmental which give you doubt about your inner sanctum. Sometimes God speaks in a whisper. Loved these quatrains! Faving ~

Personal insights/enlightenments should usually be kept quiet, in calm appreciation, lest they be tromped upon and divided. Let's not cast pearls before swine! Thanx Anaya
