Best Life Spiritual Poems


Be Still

Be still..
There is only now..

Be still..
In this precise moment ..
Tis in the moment..
Your magnificence is born..

Every single breath you take..
Sustains life now..

Be still..
Is to know thyself..

As the light inside you illuminates..
Your senses ignited..
Gracefully lifted..

To truly feel whole..
Live in the now..
Be in the now..

For only the present exists..

Premium Member Sonnet of Space and Time

I savor my precious, quantum bliss;
the vibration of the strings, echo Heaven’s kiss.  
In parallel worlds, are parallel lives; 
With them, I can identify.

I’ve passed through, many walls of stone; 
through countless lives, I have roamed.  
I’ve tasted every experience, 
I found, that some, I still lament.

A molecular epiphany, I have received.  
My life’s frustration, is appeased.
Pure energy, is what we are 
and we can visit, every star.

Quantum souls are limitless; 
join me and pursue your bliss.

Premium Member Like a Phoenix

To live forever like the phoenix;
To re-taste the process of birth;
From the cleansing flames, to rise
Knowing death is no end;
An eternal soul
On a journey
May just find 
Supreme
Bliss.


Premium Member Acquisition of Mortal Knowledge

For the nonce, living soul,

you will breathe in new lessons through our tender tethering

as your seeking thirst is slaked through your skin;

for life's osmosis seeps mortal knowledge not implanted at conception.

"Embracing the teachings of God and Tao "
            Quote by _Constance


Earth

I am a fragment on this sphere of Earth,
Not even a dust speck on the terrain;
My quest long to spiritual rebirth,
The way both beautiful and full of pain.
Oh, my heart and soul are scarred with death's stain,
But, I have arrived to the here and now;
I am a part of this earthly domain,
embracing the teachings of God and Tao !

Life

The path in life was been a twisted road,
All those ups and downs are now my essence;
The why- words and poems have overflowed,
My life one of stillness and quiescence.
And life is full of perfect quintessence,
Faith and meditation each day I vow;
Thus rewarded with glowing candescence, 
embracing the teachings of God and Tao !

Purpose

I often struggle with my earthly way,
it is about creating in the end;
oh sure there are some days I go astray,
above life's hardships I wish to transcend.
And in a bouquet I gather each friend,
to the Lord with sweet devotion I bow;
and have been blessed with the skill of words penned, 
embracing the teachings of God and Tao !

In my deep consciousness the pain I mend, 
in mindfulness I find the way and how;
and to the sky like birds words I send
embracing the teachings of God and Tao !

Premium Member Lament Not

Lament not, oh worthy lama
This life is but a dream
Live in joy, free from fear stigma 
Things are not what they seem

Childlike, given to play
To rhythm divine sway
Keeping ego at bay

Be self-taught
Lament not

Children of Eternity

God gave a promise to us,
that our children would be more than the stars in the sky
He would give us life abundantly;
multiplying and expanding without end,
vast and innumerable will God's family be
Children of eternity
Be we have not all been faithful
to believe this holy vow of promise
Selfish desires possesses the wayward souls,
careless pleasures are all some seek ...
bodies addicted to sexual stimulations
Unwanted seeds conceived in beds of lust
are taken to the high priestess Noitroba,
and placed on the sterile altar in her temple of death
Drink the chemical poison,
wither the life within
Twice dead ...
make the dying womb barren again
Life was given unto them,
but they, selfishly, refuse to give life to someone else
Pleasure seekers, sex slaves
Chained to carnal desires
They love to indulge in acts of procreation,
but they hate to taste of the fruit it produce
They spit out the seeds
Where are their children,
where are their children's children?
They possess no Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
a dry tree is their DNA spiritual makeup
So many empty vessels containing no seeds of life
The children of eternity will still sprout into existence,
though some have tried to turn God's fertile truth into a barren lie
God gave a promise to us,
that our children will outnumber all of the stars in the sky

Premium Member The Great Conundrum


There is something about matter
that keeps me spellbound,
enamored to its most exquisite blooms,
oceans, forests and mountain streams.
It holds who I am, gives me shape
and form, a home, a place in which
this awareness within me 
can live out a life and from which
I have grown.

I am in awe of its compositions,
in love with its colors, perfumes
and sounds, the touch of warm skin
and the sweet taste of freshly 
harvested fruit. All is matter. 
It is a source of pleasure and joy 
and yet inflicts equal measure 
of suffering through loss and pain.

But what is matter 
when scaled down
to its essence….mere particles 
that can be smashed apart
to decay into ghostly spirals. 
Is this all I am, a quantum
equation at my core. Or is it
a Creator's gift, the stuff
born out of the act
of a conscious mind, eternal 
in some mysterious way.

And so it is with me,
beside the beloved river taking in
the last light of the day. 
Full of hope and doubt
I see this lovely world slowly
slipping away and wonder 
whether if this is all there is 
and nothing more
or will I awake from this dream
as I may have done so many
lifetimes before.

Cat and Mouse

Cat and mouse

Within a garden somewhere out there,
butterflies were dancing free from care.
Thousands of flowers loving the dance,
love the lovers and loving romance.
A lot of butterflies full of lust,
drinking and dancing in love they trust.
Daffodil pitchers filled with the wine,
drinking that wine was wholly, divine.
Roses and jasmines fully bloomed,
enchanted aromas sweetly perfumed.
From its hiding a devious mouse,
saw the butterflies right from his house.
He ran to the garden, chased the fly,             
grabbed him tightly, bit him to die.
Ate him like candy tenderly sweet,
the smell of jasmines made it complete.
Loving his food and loving its taste,
the mouse was happy nothing got waste.
Until he saw a ghostly shape,
scary giant, he couldn’t escape. 
There was a cat with a smiley face,
growled and meowed and started the chase.
Running like wind, he didn’t gave in,
hunting for food is never a sin.
He grabbed the mouse in a playful way,
ate him so fast then rested all day.
The mouse tasted like jasmine and rose,
the flavor of butterfly joined with those.
The cat was happy and licked his paws,
adored his power sharpened his claws.
Until the next day there was a dog,
with big shaggy tail, fat like a hog.
Ugly and old he ran after cat,
hunted the cat and ate him like rat.
The dog was old and his fate foretold,
he died in winter when air was cold.
He died and buried and turned to dust
nothing can escape from time and rust.
The months have passed and years gone by,
what else can we do except comply?
Living and dying is a part of life.
Life and death are in constant strife. 
The flesh of the dog made the jasmines grew,
butterflies came with their lives renew.
Roses and lilies grew one more time,
butterflies dancing, dancing in rhyme.
Another mouse and another cat,
the playful cat, that ate up the rat.
Another dog and another feast,
after a while the death chose the beast.
Life is a circle, circle like a chain.
Everything goes and comes back again.
There will be death for me and you,
like roses and jasmines lives renew.

WALKING NEAR THE WATERS


Under  the  warm  golden  hug  of sunrise’s bliss
shielded  by  rugged ridges  and flagging  trees
emerged a peaceful scene.

Through   the   clear,  somber,  sleeping,  water
sunlight  revealed shadows  spelling  odes beneath;
odes unfolded by rising ripples in  cerulean gleam,
touched  by  nothing but  the gliding  breeze which 
seizes silt and shingles causing baby currents lift.
Sparkling  like priced pearls  in  the  still  noon,
their waves, a calm heart’s pulse, speak.
 
I linger, tranquil, afloat in the ageless ocean’s
lea, sitting on a dry old rock-sheltered bank,
drinking the healing power from the scene.

Time is suspend; I see the lake like a child,
the  ridges and trees, His grand legions line.
The shadows stretch, His noble progress to a life
unfurled  during  years of  swarming  battles.
But,  He has a wealth of hope and stood amidst
the  sudden  ripples; unmoved by fear, for He
can hold the shifts. He who’s polished  tough 
and  wise  has  championed  in a sunken time.
He  matured.  He populated  good  influence
calling others to imitate his stance. He promised

life without fear cherished with gratitude, and
his shared touch was not dulled by passing years.
His memory endured, so many remember Him.

                               plotting, scheming, destroying

                                  enemy, sin, son, shepherd

                               sacrificing, atoning, purifying

My Shadow

My Shadow….

Lost in the path of this dreadful life,
thinking of years that I spent in strife;
walking and thinking, what is ahead?
Living with pain or dying instead.
Watching my shadow crawling below;
scared and dazed, with nothing to show.

My shadow was darkened by the gloomy night;
Walking behind me, frightened by light.
He didn't know his nature was light;
he taught that he was planted by night.
Awaiting until dawn with the breeze
to make the shadow taller than trees.
Little by little, the light of time
made it so shadow reaching his prime.
The shadow started to sing and dance
in the garden of the life romance.

He was the young one, handsome and bold.
Never thought there would be days of old.
Dancing with the drum of joy and youth,
only the time will teach us the truth.

The morning turned into the mid-day sun,
I was standing, but the shadow in run.
He was running, and I was the chase;
I couldn't keep up, and he lost the race.

He was blaming me, I got too old,
So much as my life, losing its gold.
The sun was setting; the shadow got dim.
Little by little got, pale and slim.
His height and his youth vanished so soon.
The sun left him and kept the moon.

What will happen if the shadow is gone?
Should I ever wish to see the dawn?

Premium Member Enough of Me


When I begin to look at life
As nothing but an endless strife

When the power of faith and hope
Fail to help me strive and cope

When I lay down my dreams to rest
And so give up their mighty quest

When love's warm embers cease to burn
And make my heart an icy urn

When from the grace of God I flee...
Then life has had enough of me.

Premium Member When When Then Yoga

When When Then Yoga

When
Your downward dog is barking and
Your cat pose is meowing and
Your tree pose is swaying and
Your cow pose is mooing and
Your cobra pose is striking and
Your sphinx pose is speaking and

When 
Your child pose gets naughty and
Your warrior one gets shot and
Your warrior two goes down and
Your corpse pose stiffens.

Then
Your yoga journey ends.
