Unteachable Lessons Poem by Barry Middleton

Unteachable Lessons

Rating: 5.0


gods are like waves
a silence that only whispers
a ripple in the breath of universe

seek your god like the hawk seeks
alone in the hush of the sky
the prize is not hidden

it has been said
talk to your god in solitude
your voice is as evident as thunder

the tyrants do not know the gods
gods are stolid and restrained
the deity is humble

it has been said
we only need to seek
the universe is aware of our tears

quietly shepherd all that nurtures
love as the universe loves
and you will find peace

Lovely write. Life without peace of mind is terrible. Spiritual path is sure to bring peace to the soul. Thanks.

And yet religion, which should reflect spirituality, gets so confused with money, power and divisiveness. So sad since all major religions have similar values at their core.
