Spiritual Poems
Questions

Questions
Is there heaven and is there really hell?
Does God exist? We want to know as well.
Death is a wall that hides the answer.
The dead find out, the living cannot tell.
Sages and mystics proclaim with firmest nod
That they are certain in their knowing God,
But all our religions run into that wall

A Choice

Death is a wall we cannot see
What is beyond or meant to be.
So we place our fate in speculation
Or hold the hope of revelation.
What Jesus did and claimed to show
Is truth beyond what we can know.
So we can choose to doubt his grace
Or follow him and see God’s face.
My God remember me
by Sharon Morgan
When my beating heart refuses to beat
And the breath of life proceeds to leave,
My God, I beg that you please,
Please remember me.
As a product of your works
You made me, me
I am unique, a person,

all the wondering should wonder no more
by Rumi Ullidov
all the wondering should wonder no more
carpe diem betwixt life's endeavours
float a skiff, a raft, a steamboat
through pendulous waters and a steep shore
all the wondering should vex ignore
rush when love calls
and not run when to walk is better
catch when one falls
and show love to all that matter

Identity Crisis
by Rumi Ullidov
Should I be called Mero, Hero, or Romero?
The creator of Rome, or a sublime tyrant-
meandering in a capitalist maze-
where cows their milk drink and throw it up.
What am I but a swift melody
in the Lost Forests of Latin America,
never heard (do I even exist?).
Psychedelic experiences - extraterrestrial-
cruising in the Milky Way, on a white Toyota.
20% beast, 30% baby, 50% thoughts.

by Amy Michelle Mosier
Music starts my little church
And bids us goers "come forward" -
Timid and cleansing at first -
Bringing voices to one accord
Then her voice waxing loud
And the piano's tempo
Make the atmosphere bound
To become a crescendo

When long days drag on me
by Amy Michelle Mosier
When long days drag on me
And my soul cries in the dark
Then I speak my prayer in sleight
And He slips it into my jar.
Prithee – give it wings to fly up
Beyond to the sapphire throne –
Leaving me amidst where I am
Yet I do not feel alone.
