Best Sad Spiritual Poems

Another piece of me falls away
With another one of you who leaves me this day
Sorrow and joy divide my heart                         ...

Salt tears drip from leaves, 
to land on tea-colored pages.
Hopes and dreams, 
written in the ink of history,
slowly blur and drip 
into the underworld of the
abandoned and long forgotten.

Salt waters of the ocean
and tumbling waves turn 
stones and pebbles to sand,
erasing familiar shapes
and throwing up...

I don’t know why I’m feeling down
but sadness fills my heart,
my breathing’s slow, my mind’s withdrawn,
this mood will not depart.

I have not got the energy
that usually fills my life,
I want to sit and rest my soul
from all my daily strife.

There’s no particular reason
why just now...

Scatter me there where the winds are sweet
To the blue of the sky and the sun’s bright heat
On Oliver’s Camp where the dragon lines meet
Scatter me there on the hill

Scatter me there where the waters flow
Where the weeping mourners come and go
Down by The Wharf...

Memories of Megan fall bittersweet
against my lips as I begin to speak
About this one I knew so briefly
but was sent to nurse and care for deeply

Standing alone wounded and needing
her pain and anguish set my heart to bleeding
Neglected and ignored where others thrived
brought my sheer...

The morning glory vines hold leaves of green
but the sky is growing gray

The lilac bush sits lush and green
but my eyes are filled with gray

The pine tree stands so tall and green
but hope is fading gray

Memories of days past so fresh and green
are faint in...

Sometimes in the course of history, there comes along a man.
He is righteous and afraid.
Bound by the might of his mind.
Learned and full of insight, he can tell you most anything you need to know.
But he is human.
And must also be a person,
But a person...

The good other day I was so happy,
And happiness was my true nature.
But not today, I’m so sad,
Is it sorrow my real nature?

Happiness and sorrow, never once
Meet me together, alone they come.
Sorrow comes first, then joy
And joy comes and later sorrow.

Never I sought sorrow in...

Beauty of nature
Why condense it down to God?
Isn’t life enough?...

Death was dreaded. 
Rehearsed. 
Experienced. 
Dreaded more. 

Being told, 
Silence. 
Empty. 
Frozen. 

Death. 
The day arrived. 
Surreal. 
Nothing. 

The bond was broken, 
The memories ended, 
There was grey nothing. 
Silence. 

Silence. 

For me: 
Shock, 
Nuisances, 
Sadness. 

For her: 
Beauty, 
Peace, 
Rest. 

Two sides of death....

The silver chord of life it’s true,
though seldom seen by me or you,
connects our body to our soul
and joins our spirit to the whole.

A glimpse of it we all can see
when silver waters flow quite free
with happiness straight from the heart,
or love so strong with...

Smell the burning rubber.
Hear the screeching tyre. 
Watch in awe as the wheels fly off 
and the chassis catches fire.
Then avert your eyes.
Say your au revoir.
The casualties are packed in tight
Limp inside the car....

Her heart felt like it had been ripped out of her chest,
By a giant bear paw.
She had suspected for a few months that her twin flame was leaving.
They did not talk any more,
Did not eat at the same time.
Did not eat the same foods.
In January...

We would go to the forgotten towns of west Texas
Places that we couldn’t name and hunt for their souls
Sometime it was on the roadside a place they had been abandoned
Sometimes in and old house broken and forgotten
She’d stand there in her boots and ragged old...

Why Do I Feel So Sad?


Why do I feel so sad?
I had lots of love.

Why do I feel so sad?
I still have lots of love.

Why do I feel so sad?
My career paid high.

Why do I feel so sad?
I was well respected for my knowledge.

Why do...
