Short Encumbers Poems

Listen to poem:

Beyond the Evening Sky
David J Walker 

Wide open
	The pupils of the universe
Captures the imagination of the
Evening sky 
Nothing between the bare brown dirt of the Earth
And the heavens above 
the portal named Eternity 
Encumbers gentle true spirits reaching for 
Stored truths yet untold 
One by one
		The constellations come
Into view

Evening Sky

Belief and faith is a function of mind,
which is a thought spiral that encumbers,
religion is but blind leading the blind
and know there is no safety in numbers,
for until we rest mind, our soul slumbers.
Attachment to form is our thought trigger,
so let’s hush it before it grows bigger,
for which once we shift into calm tranquil,
weakened ego can no longer sniggr,
having truly surrendered to God’s will.

They try convincing others,
that safety exists in numbers.
The visual of crowd size,
intimidates and encumbers.

for some seems difficult,
but a flicker of hope
lingers in my heart.

Viewing death as devastating
is tantamount to snuffing
the inner candle,
a prelude to heaven’s glorious light.

Even as pain encumbers our abilities,
muddling our sense of reason,
bask in the glow of optimism
that earthly life is but a passage.

Through the tunnel we see a beam
that resonates through our souls.
A single candle illuminates
the path to eternal salvation....
