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

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...

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...

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...

"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...

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...

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...

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...

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......

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.

If Laudato Si'
were written by Pope Francine
and not me
replacing Pope Francis's
root anthrosupremacist choices
with similar
but more nuanced
and multiculturally inclusive choices,
cooperatively healthy premises
might further enlighten
to resolutely empower
a rather more transubstantially engaging
creolizing catholic haute cuisine.

#110.  The LeftBrain specialization
belonging to industrializing
monetized technology
makes it difficult to see
the larger restoring...

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.

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...

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...

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...
