Spiritual Poetry (December 1992)
By: Steve Ridley
Steve Ridley has a new book to offer us–Spiritual Poetry–with an introduction by Liz Salada. It is available from Steve. Below is a sampling of the poetry presented.
Amidst birth-death-rebirth,
light-dark, day into night
Within poverty-opulence,
summer-winter, happy-sad
Above sky and earth,
moon-sun, withdraw-embrace
Encircling hope-doubt,
empty-full, serenity-conflict
Behind waking-sleeping-dreaming,
like-dislike, close-open
Surviving valley-mountain,
long-short, inbreathing-outbreathing
Wholeness endures
uncompromised, without flaw.
* * *
Ocean fog greyly spreading …
coolly blanketing
Oak crowned hills, silhouetted
by sun’s indifference
Random eloquence.
* * *
Poetic fields of sparkling white –
autumn’s first!
Sun and clouds
transform fluid crystal colonies
effortlessly, nature’s creative pulse
Beneath accumulated blankets
indistinct potentials await
the freeing light of spring.
Topics: Books and Media, Poetry, Yin and Yang
