To Live in the Mercy of God
by Denise Levertov
To lie back under the tallest
oldest trees. How far the stems
rise, rise
before ribs of shelter
open!
To live in the mercy of God. The complete
sentence too adequate, has no give.
Awe, not comfort. Stone, elbows of
stony wood beneath lenient

The Ladder to Heaven
by airatmaninravi AiR
Do you know that there is a Ladder to Heaven?
For all to climb, be it man or woman
But we mustn't stop at step seven or eleven
We must go on till we reach our heaven
Many of us want to go to God
But we don't know the truth about our Lord
We just go to a temple, mosque, and church
Instead of going on a quest to search

Radical Reversal
by Alex Cusano
It's 30 minutes in
And I'm already missing home
As the bus broke down
I just wanted to be alone
Then the thought of the mission trip
Entered my brain
Realizing the only thing I was chasing
Was for my own gain

Rise up woman - Alexis karpouzos
by alexis karpouzos
Yes, injured Woman! Rise, assert thy right!
Woman! Too long degraded, scorned, oppressed.
Unlock the potential you have inside,

We need to move beyond the limits
we've placed upon our lives
to touch your heart, O love,
Rise up, O woman!
Life and Death
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar
Sweet are some moments -
Refrains of happy, healthy breath;
Some turn harder and bitter
We must have to fight life to death.
Time robs us of the loved ones
Putting our patience to a hard test;
Filled with awe and dismay
We overcome it but beat our chest.

an unlikely friendship
by Ornella Dina
A sunken flower
Engulfed by the sea,
Fell deeper into a world of dreams
Her petals would fall, the colors would fade
Had the whale of the ocean not been nudged at the tail
Swooping and turning the whale was caught by surprise,

desert rose
by Ornella Dina
The little girl had much to take,
But she gave it all to her simple friend,
The flower in the desert.
She walked for miles and miles, alone
And when the riders found her,
She did not forget the desert rose,
And watered her profoundly.
And it was in that simple action done,
That she could feel God around her.
And in that simple action done,

Ariadne
by AT. at.
The golden bird is singing
in a sparse forest. Rain falls
on the black foliage. Nobody
listens. That is the pain, of this world
that comes from the inside
of your thigh, Ariadne.
In your stellar robes
you envelop the sky
and crude mountains touch
the tips of your unseen breasts.

She
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar
She is succor sweet
Resolved
Dissolved
In the water of my life
She is pure water
Chosen
Frozen
As Love in my heart
