Notes About The Poem

" THE DIVINE WORLD " MY PHOTO!

The Divine World Within

All his life 
Around the world, he traveled.
He:
Walked on arid lands and fertile valleys,
Crossed endless deserts and climbed precipitous mountains,
Sailed over rough seas and turbulent oceans
For
A sign of the divine to find, to be able, God to embrace
But
He found none!

Disappointed by his fruitless efforts, he gave up trying.
He sat down:
To relax
To think
To ponder
To Meditate

It was the first time he abandoned logic and asked for help,
Thus
He closed his inquiring mortal eyes for a while
It was then -in the silence of those moments,
In that time of unconditional abandonment of the self,
That something called him from within:

"Here I am,
Here I was and 
Here I will forever be for as long as you live 
For
How could I ever leave my creation without guidance?
Without this inner light that only those who come to me by
Their own will, can hear and see?"

Dazzled, opened his soul's eyes for the first time
And behold- there it was:
The world, all his life, was looking to find,
The divine world
That only the enlightened ones could witness!

M. L. Kiser October 3, 2018 at 4:58 AM That was a beautiful story that you've penned; do you meditate? This is something like one would find in meditation. Beautifully done. Demetrios Trifiatis October 3, 2018 at 6:50 AM Do I meditate? There were many years that I did meditate for hours a day, now I am in a permanent meditative state and I do pray! Thank you dearest MLK!

Anne-Lise Andresen October 3, 2018 at 2:53 AM - No matter how heavy and black life looks, it's about not giving up hope that things can get better - Sometimes everything is so black that there's almost no difference between life and death - it's important to listen to it's own heart - It's not a cliché that one can find "the divine world" - A wonderful story, my friend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Demetrios Trifiatis October 3, 2018 at 6:46 AM So true dearest, Anne-Lise! Thank you so much for your gracious comment. Hugs
