Rainbows and Dust – Bantayan Island, Philippines – Marc Hermann – Featured Photographer

Posted 04/06/2012 on www.photobotos.com

There is a path through God’s universe

Where light floods through the canopy of trees.

The prism of color floats in the smoky haze.

The children so precious and innocent

Ride their bike where only God will gaze.

A land of simplicity and divinity,

And the magnificence of the Lord’s creativity.

With trees so lush and fruit so sweet

A ground cover so green and soft beneath your feet.

A tropical place in heart and mind

A glorious spot for all souls to dine.

An ethereal land that spans beyond my human mind.

A place that signifies the reverence for life,

Within this heavenly sphere.

It is a sanctuary of God’s eternal love

And life without fear.

I am on my journey

And I pray that I walk this way.

To this path in such a holy place

Where I see your luminous grace.

(msuzanne April 6, 2012)

Since I started this blog (3 weeks ago) I have been very inspired by a website called photobotos.com Everyday they feature beautiful and creative photographs that have opened my eyes and heart to other parts of the world, that I have never seen, and now I plan to someday see. With every photo I am struck in awe by the incredible creativity of God. The beauty created in every part of our universe, the diversity in God’s creativeness and yet the similarity, all created out of love and with joy.  I am filled with joy to know I live in this incredible universe with inspirational diversity.

Precious Soul

I took a stumble today down a hill I rolled

And landed in affray.

I was in the depth of my murky haze

Covered in a negative spew,

When I realized the error of my way.

So I acknowledged my wrong and sat in forgiveness of me,

And you graciously extended your saving hand.

So with you as my guide

I eagerly climbed into your glorious fold.

Thank You Lord,

For you are always welcoming to a precious soul.

Divine Law

Posted in Poem, Spiritual Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 5, 2012| Leave a Comment »

The Truth of Thee

Is seen in the glory of a tree.

The magnificence of the Lord

Is seen in the tiniest insect that be.

The Love of God

Is in every living thing.

The Joy of Spirit

Is in the birth of life.

It is within the Almighties Light

That the universe exists

And the Love flourishes

Of which we are nourished.

The Power of the Creator

Is in the humanity of all,

For it is God who speaks our beckoning call.

Our call to embrace all his creativity

Regardless of religion or race.

Regardless of manmade law

We are one in the bosom of the Lord.

Each and every one of us is adored.

For it is in the Truth of the Lord.

It is Divine Law.

God is…you are…I am

One in all.

Funny Sun

Posted in Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 4, 2012| 4 Comments »

I was running around the lake you see,

When up in the sky

I saw the sun laughing at me.

So I ran to the beach and saw him waving good-bye,

I knew the sun was playing a trick on me

When I saw him slid down behind the trees.

So I jumped up and down hoping to see,

If the sun was still looking at me.

I saw an orange speck between the trees,

I thought it was the sun winking at me.

With a blink of my eyes and giggle of glee,

That speck was gone

and no-one was left watching me.

Even though the sun played a trick on me,

I’m sure from between the trees

It was the Lord who winked at me.

(msuzanne, 1981)

I wrote this poem when I was 21 years old while I was spending a wonderful week in the Pennsylvania Pocono Mountains.  One evening I was out for a jog around the lake when I saw the sun setting.  It was a warm summer night in August.  Before the sun set I sat and prayed by the lake.  I lost all sense of time and when the sun started to set it was a reminder I must run back to where I was staying.  The setting sun and the wink from between the trees left me knowing that God was right there with me.  So we continued on our jog.

Volcano and Ice

Posted in Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 3, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Erupting Volcano – Johannes Gunnar – Featured Photographer   www.photobotos.com

Eyjafjallajökull  Glacier, Iceland

Erupting Volcano

In the volcano that erupts

There is a heavenly energy source,

That surges through our earthly core.

Coursing through the veins of the universe,

Is a power so great that transforms

The land that it disintegrates.

In this world of hot and cold,

There is a place for both to stand side by side.

For the volcano to erupt from the ice,

For the heat to embrace the cold,

For the heart of God

To heal the injured soul.

All is good in God’s creative universe.

From the largest of mountains to the tiniest of insects that I can see,

There is the breath and thoughts of God visible for all Eternity.

From One Source, The Creator of all brings us beauty and tranquility,

In the flowers that grow and the trees that bud,

It is the divine message of God’s Love.

Hidden within the core is the heart of the Lord.

Overflowing with love for all to see,

The lava that spews is a divinity.

The duality of this picture of volcano and ice is the

Truth of the expansiveness of God’s creativity.

From ice so many ages ago came the lands we now sow.

From the heat of volcanos past came the newest of all that last.

In this universe and for the entire world to see

Is a perfect picture of God’s unity.

Nourishing Gray

Posted in Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 31, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Many would say this is a dreary day.

Yet, I see the glory of Thee.

In the charcoal gray of the clouds you lay,

There is a hint of white in the fray.

And off into the distance a misty pink slides in.

The moisture in the air is your breath,

Breathing life into each and every living thing.

You nourish the world I see with your essence within the rain,

Your life giving love is flowing free through everything.

And there in the tree is a community nourished by Thee.

Your magnificence is the life within,

From the tiniest of bugs that borrows deep

To the family of squirrels that run and play

On the limbs that sway.

The birds that nest and sing to Thee

All rejoice in the glory of this day

And thank you Lord for the nourishing gray.

Delighted by Thee

Posted in Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 30, 2012| 3 Comments »

Lord the first gift I see of this day

Is the darkness of the sky lifting away,

As the darkness melds into a charcoal gray.

The singing of birds in unison for Thee,

Is like a chorus of angels perched in the tree.

The tree once hidden in the darkness of night

Now shows its silhouette to me.

As the sky transforms in heavenly delight

 I sit in love of Thee.

The fish in my pond break water to see

The Glory of God in the brightening sky.

The night animals return to their hiding place,

And close their eyes to your loving grace.

In harmony of this magnificent morn

I pray in homage and give thanks for this day.

Within the essence of your divinity

I am delighted by Thee.

Surrender to Thee

Posted in Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 29, 2012| 2 Comments »

In the darkness of the night

My Soul soars in God’s Eternal Light.

With the pulsing sound of energy waves,

Bathing my essences in spiritual bliss,

In this vibration is the Divinity of why I exist.

The sounds of God on another plane,

Are sounds of peace, love, and nurturing.

A peace to calm the human brain,

A place to strengthen the human bond.

A love to transcend the heavenly floor.

A nurturing of all existence is God’s gift to all adorn.

In silence this place exists.

In solace within there is an echo of Divinity,

That brings me deep within his hold.

A place of love,

A place within the spiritual fold.

With great love and honor

I surrender to Thee.

For there is no greater existence

Than within the love of Thee.

Desert so Lush

Desert Waterfall   “Coyote Falls” – Escalante National Monument, Utah

Joshua Cripps – Featured Photographer  

Posted March 28, 2012 on www.photobotos.com

A barren desert it seems

Is just as much a mirage

As the forest and streams.

The sandy terrain and dried out rock

Are places of solace within God’s heart.

Across the rocks the water flows

Etching a paradise where no one goes.

Each droplet of God’s nourishment

Is without scarcity

In the divine love that is our sanctity.

In the green that grow

And the tree that sways,

There is a soulful place for God to play.

So he sits and waits for you and I today.

To hike the canyon high and low,

To tread the dried up river bed,

To trust and believe in the beautiful scene.

That within this life’s journey,

In the heat of the day,

And the dryness of this sacred land,

Is a desert so lush in the heart of man.

(msuzanne,   March 28, 2012)

Reflection of Your Love

Posted in Poem, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 27, 2012| Leave a Comment »

The tranquility that I knew was in the silence of loving you.

Your peace filled my heart and eased all pain,

You gave me a reason to live this life that else wise would be in vain.

Your spirit and vitality have taken control,

As you are the creator of my soul,

You are in my heart that beats and in my mind that thinks

And in my blood that pulses through my veins

You are the salt in my tears and the curls in my hair

You are my breath I breathe in the cold winter air

You are in my very being

Without you Lord…I am nothing

For I am a reflection of your love.

(msuzanne 1974-1979)

Two months ago I found some old journals and poem books from my teenage years stuffed in a box in the basement.  It was this find that reignited my passion for writing spiritual poems.   As I went through these old books, I was amazed by many of my spiritual poems written in the 1970s. I was 14 years old when I started writing poems.  This poem was in a book dated 1974-1979.  I wrote this between the age of 14 to 19 yrs. old. What amazes me is the metaphysical message within when I was raised a strict Catholic.   Now in my 50s I rejoice in the teachings of Earnest Holmes as his every word speaks to my soul.

In the original poem the words “possessor of my soul” was used in line 5 and today I changed it to “creator of my soul.”   As a teenage I often complained about having to do what everyone wanted me to do.  And even went so far as seeing myself under others ownership.  So the word possessor made me smile as I remember that time in my life.   You can read it with either words
