Best Transfiguration Poems
It was a day like any other
their weary feet bathed in dust, dirt
a burst of light in the sky
Lord, Elijah, Moses
Captured radiance
Peter awestruck
heart's ablaze
Faith sealed
light

Note: The Transfiguration of Jesus
3rd Place "Jesus and Mary- Easter"
It was the day of the Lords' transfiguration
The disciples could not believe their eyes
Jesus had changed His appearance
And all of the angels went wild
It was the day of the Lords' transfiguration
The disciples were shaking and scared
When a cloud of mist engulfed them
They stood there amazed and stared
It was the day of the Lords' transfiguration
The disciples could not believe their ears
They heard a loud voice like thunder
This is my son, now hear
It was the day of the Lords' transfiguration
The disciples thought this must be a dream
Moses and Elijah had joined them
And they were left shocked by the scene
It was the day of the Lords' transfiguration
Jesus was shining so bright
The disciples were beginning to wonder
But they were caught up in His great light

The four of them went up the mountain
Peter John James and Jesus to pray
there they were earnest in prayer
then something occurred to jolt their stay
Jesus facial appearance then did alter
even His clothes become blinding white
before them all stood Moses and Elijah
appearing glorious like Jesus so bright
What did all of this mean?
these OT saints with Jesus spoke
of the cross and departing this earth
it had all happened in a stroke
The disciples were now nearly asleep
but soon became fully awake
realising what they saw all this glory
Moses Elijah and Jesus this was no fake
Now Peter tried to keep the moment
suggesting making a tent for each
but Elijah and Moses were to move on
for the Calvary road was no walk on the beach
A cloud appeared to overshadow them
they entered then into God's envelope
as they did God spoke from heaven
with the message of eternal hope
This is my son my chosen one
listen to Him Jesus was now alone
obeying His father's perfect will
for Jesus is the chief cornerstone
AUTHOR NOTES:
The Transfiguration
Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and
James and went up on the mountain to pray. And as he was praying, the
appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white. And
behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in
glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at
Jerusalem. Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but
when they became fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who stood
with him. And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master,
it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for
Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. As he was saying these
things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they
entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son,
my Chosen One; listen to him!” And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was
found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of
what they had seen.
Luke 9 vs. 28-36
Evening fast was falling
As Peter, James and John
Accompanied their Savior
Sense of weariness forgone
As they climbed a path on the mountain
That led them to the place
Where a manifestation of His divinity
Left its illuminating trace
While Jesus bowed in lowliness
Upon the stony ground
Suddenly, the heavens opened
God’s glory was all around
His holy radiance descended
Enshrouding Jesus’ slight form
Divinity flashed through humanity
His Godlike countenance was born
Besides Jesus appeared two beings
Standing in the light of glory bright
The outlines of Moses and Elijah
Seen so clearly in the night
Clothed with the light of heaven
Christ, the King of Heaven stood
Before the crown, must come the cross
Followed by the role, Priesthood.

Revelation in its plainest form,
Glory revealed before the naked eyes;
To whom is this understanding granted?
Oh behold Him on the mount of holiness—
Oh behold the transfigured Christ!
A brightness beyond the sun's compare,
Yet visible to the eyes of the beloved;
Of them that are born of a woman,
None indeed is greater than John the Baptist;
But of a truth in the Kingdom of God,
The least of the heirs are greater than he!
Peter, always in a hurry to speak,
Thought it wise to build three thrones:
One each for the Lord, Moses, and Elijah;
If only he knew with Whom he stood—
That no one can ever be equal with Him!
The Light that shines the brightest,
The Tabernacle not made with hands;
Yet the humblest and loveliest of them all,
Who came to redeem a world of darkness.
Revelation in its most naked frame,
Redemption before the blindest eyes;
To whom is this understanding granted?
Oh behold the Saviour of the world...
On The Mount of Transfiguration.
"Transfiguration"
Radiant crystalline
a lighter body
you romanced the
divine in my mind
you touched my
you touched my
you touched my
soul
Diamond snakeskin
shed, peeled back
your luminescence shining pure
through my many fractured cracks
all your lines bleeding
burning bright white light
in my butchered Nicene heart you’ve read with smooth soft intent
Transfigured me to become your next sacrament
homeless heart
homeless heart
homeless heart
Imperfect Immaculate
called
Home
Radiant crystalline
a lighter body
you romanced the
divine in my mind
you touched my
you touched my
you touched my
soul
Ascension into your arms
Romanced all the while
Veils dropped naked atoned
barefoot Aurora
called
Home

My soul is transfigured
in your anoited presence
among these twisted vines and flowers
as they turn to harvest...
The beloved apparitions of my rite
leave me for all eternity
my soul feels like an abandoned child
forbidden in this month of March
to go and gather flowers for his brethren...
Still I gaze at the tender portrait
with timid smile always on your face
with purple-red ember of passion
fulfilled and nurtured by your favor...
I sigh freely in your presence
and seek to bring you home to me
in this field of poppy and flowers
my arms around you like twisted vines of grapes..

Transfiguration
This scriptured event
Is our common experience..
We stand alone
On the mountaintop
Knowing our Self..
With due respect to our
Teachers standing on our
Left and on our Right..
Standing alone births
The Freedom introduced
By teachers remembered
But only really known
As we stand alone...
This is the day that flattened the city:
shock wave, clothes burnt off;
“This is what they have done, tell everyone.”
Radiation penetrating into sickness
> sterility.
That was the day when all was laid waste.
This is the day they stood up on the mount:
awed, as His clothes shone.
“This is my beloved Son, listen to him.”
Radiance transfiguring, three with One worshipped
> fruitfully.
That was the day which uplifted mankind.
Now is the time for faith to hold on:
declared to be heard;
“This is the light of the world, behold Him.”
Vesture of truth shining, penetrates, conceiving
> fertility.
Now is the time for peace rising.
Yesterday Was Transfiguration Sunday
Did you know that there are three heavens?
Was at St. James Episcopal, Shallotte, NC
listening to sermon yesterday.
Father Bob Hobgood said that we might,
Be awakened by God in middle of night;
Poems will appear,
So nice and near;
With ideas and thoughts did have a flight.
When I awoke in the middle of the night,
Of poems would appear their very sight;
After I adulated,
Poems created;
Did start writing down with pure delight.
Beneath roof of barn in cradle Jesus lays,
While outside in field flock of sheep graze;
No longer a slave,
Our praise we gave,
All things about our Jesus truly did amaze.
Remember time there was a transfiguration,
And in every nation had been much elation;
Light grew and grew;
Was Jesus we knew;
We ended up with an incredible celebration.

transfiguration
is a recognition
awaiting each of us..
a recognition
of who we are..
we remember our teachers
on our left and our right
our journeys of searching
in past times..
searching the world for
peace past understanding
that only comes with recognition
of who we truly are..
arriving now.. directly..
effortlessly.. as that which
has always been there
embracing our journey...
Transfiguration
Certain things appear to be triggered
When a person has been transfigured;
A radiance was seen on Jesus's face
After receiving God's glory and grace,
And about all this we were beleaguered.
Jim Horn
Be sure to read my next poem.
I walked alone at break of dawn
No one to comfort me.
I stood forlorned, ragged and scorned
Doomed to obscurity.
I cried aloud but yet the shroud
Of time that covered me
Left me beguiled from all exiled
Throughout this life to be.
Ah never more a distant shore
Shall ever my feet trod.
Until at last from this world past
I lie beneath the sod.
For then the shroud of times dark cloud
Lifted for aye shall be.
Tho born a knave when in the grave
I'll put on Royalty.
I shall in time, this soul of mine,
Upon a distant shore
Walk on with Kings where never clings
The shroud of time no more.
Sometimes I visit places and people I love and want to stay forever, it maybe a special vacation or ceremony with close friends that are so perfect, I wish that the moment could last forever.
One day , it happened to Peter when he looked to Jesus whose face was shining brighter than lightning and who was speaking with Moses and Elijah and Peter wanted to stay on the mountain forevermore.
Nevertheless, Jesus still had bigger and better mountains to climb. Jesus would rather climb Mount Calvary, where he would give his life for our sins. He would go to the Mount of Olives where he would ascend to heavenly realms.
Jesus Christ is currently standing above every mountain as he rules over all things for the benefit of his righteous people to inherit his kingdom.
You maybe going through some of life's deepest valleys and feel like you are living a life full of mountains, and feel like you can't get through them forever. Regardless, of where you are standing whether on top of the mountain or deep the valleys.
Christ promises a bigger and better mountain ahead where He will be with the righteous forever. Jesus did not stay on the mountain of transfiguration but went done with Peter and the other two disciples. He went to Mount Calvary and the Mount of Olives and now sits above every nation and kingdom forevermore.

the vultures circle overhead as we burn
awaiting with stoic patience their turn
to feed off residue we need no more
which will soon be washed ashore
thus in the natural order of things
the caterpillar having grown wings
looks not back at the dead chrysalis
for it now sips heavenly nectar of bliss
