Best Enlightenment Poems


Premium Member Enlightenment
There is a land where peaceful giants dwell
A magic forest, on a mountainside
Its waterfall carved out a wishing well
Where wishes ride a giant waterslide

An old stone troll bridge leads up to its crest
The pesky trolls were banished long ago
Their sandstone cottage, now a place of...

Premium Member Enlightenment
Quietude endows hushed mystical space
Admonishing words have no role to play—
Look how in solitude its posture bends
Bowing in deference to calming intellect.

Listen to the utterance of wailing heart
Where grieved voices subtly resonate
In stygian echoes of aches and pain
As bawl of mortal life kneels down to...

Premium Member Walking Into Enlightenment
So many think about changing the whole world,
few think about changing their very selves.
Standing on the precipice, peer beyond.
Pierce your personal, privileged bubble.
View the vast vision across all beings.

In wonder, count the petals of a flower.
Be amazed, probe a chambered nautilus.
Walk backwards out of Fibonacci's...

Premium Member Enlightenment, Hope and Harmony
God sent His only Son to Earth to bring
Enlightenment, Hope and Harmony.
Free will forbade that he should force
The Truth on world that would not see.

For thirty years Christ labored here,
With His clear message from above.
Enlightenment, Hope and Harmony
Will come when Man has learned to love.

Betrayed...

Premium Member Enlightenment
Away from the fever and fret of life
In absolute stillness, in abject surrender
Looking into the core of my being
In deep silence and solitude 
In an ardent gesture of adoration
I was in dialogic communion with God.

In that divine setting, I heard the spirit whisper,
“Shear off the...

Enlightenment
Seek Life after life
Illusive task to obtain
Beyond doubts and fall

Start and end dramas 
Decipher complexities
Find partial answers 

Paradigm issues
Confusion overrate quest
Esteem falters wit

Stand mindful actions
Stuck within clearer pathways
A stretch still needed

Persistent conscience
Always crave enlightenment
Recall life purpose....

Wherefrom Enlightenment Dwells
To define innocence in the
countenance of a child's smile
and love's eminence in wildflowers,
conceive infinity in exalted ocean's roar
whilst summer breezes glance splendor
flourishing jasmine and hummingbirds
amidst evermore expansive sunrises,
whence space and time ceases to exist 
thereupon shall enlightenment dwell...

Premium Member Kindness and Grace
Life is like a gentle sigh
Breathing out a heartening reply

Coloring the thoughts in laughing gold
Silencing worries and struggles so untold

Whispering peace into the heart and soul
Lighting up the spirit so it’s alive and whole

Easing the broken heart with warm hope
That comforts the solemn, helping them...

Premium Member Open Thine Own Heart
Immerse in the tranquility of truth 
And believe in the opulence of your
Devine being, BEHOLD IT,
As the proof, You seek is THOU
As Heaven’s Breath of Spiritual eloquence
As an Infinite horizon
In the radiance of light of Heaven
As beyond Yourself 
As LOVE with Conscious intent
In the waves...

Premium Member Angels Among Us
Many believe there are angels among us.
Where do these angels come from?
Are they manifest from among us?
If so, how does it happen?

A being in the physical state
seeks the source of its being.
It looks within its current form
for the essence of its being.

Determining that that essence...

Omission
Solid roots buried deep within the earth
Though a chimera
Far above the dense ground
High high above
Where there is no one else around
But down down below
To a place rarely talked about
Where everybody goes

To confront the darkness that lies within
Slowly eating away at our soul
Slowly devouring us all

A...

Premium Member Haunting Moon
I shine my light upon the green earth
Reaching down from heaven’s domain
To show the world that their fantasies
Are the way that I illuminate the night

I touch the stars with my soft perimeters
Radiate love through clouds and storms
Mystify the writers and poets of nature
Send a shadow...

Premium Member Creation, Infinity and Truth
My mind is captured by the intriguing nature
of all things that are eternal.
I doubt any other thoughts will ever have the simplistic complexity
to free my mind of its all-encompassing love.
Or the infinite completeness of the wisdom and truth
intertwined within such a topic.

To realize that it’s...
