More poems about Gifts of the Spirit

SPIRITUALITY
Sometimes I can be on a spiritual high,
Enveloped in feelings that descend from the above,
Evil thoughts have no effect, just pass me by
And I feel the closeness of God’s eternal love.

The sun seems to shine even in heavy rain,
Nothing disturbs my sweet peace of mind,
Nothing I want to do would cause others pain
And a little bit of heaven on earth I can find.

Then other times clouds dull my spirituality,
Darkness enters my heart and it’s hard to escape
From thoughts of anger that it not a real part of me,
Even soothing music does not help, even my favourite tape.

It is an awful feeling when spirituality leave your heart,
There is a dark and empty feeling deep inside,
But reading the scriptures and praying to do my part,
The sweet spirit returns and my joy I cannot hide.

It is like walking from the darkness into God’s light,
Summer after winter, feeling the sun’s warm rays,
Like not knowing the truth then seeing it shine bright,
I pray that if I falter I’ll always return to God’s ways.
