Poem: The knowledge of spirituality
The knowledge of spirituality
The curtain of madness hangs loose
Inside my being
I am ready to be excoriated
By those with the eyes of logic
And hands of steel
My argument starts with faith, hope and love
And ends with faith, hope and love
There are no calculations in between
Just the substance of the spirit
I can only submerge myself in faith
For it’s my classroom
As I wander through the vastness of eternity
I have no desire to open my eyes
And look through the thicket of emptiness
Through the eyes of selfishness
I have no desire to look through the fibres of reason
And limit myself to the physical world
I have an immense appetite to consume the fruits of the spirit
And embrace myself through your being
Through humility, kindness and compassion
I will be your true neighbour
Your presence has to give me hope
And your absence has to fill me with sorrow
For it’s only your Light that will illuminate my path
Through you I will find my way home
In you I will find myself
In you I will find Love
It’s only through Love that I am full of awareness
I don’t hold any identities, expectations or attachments
I want to be free to wallow in nothingness
And be the womb of existence
I want to be alone with the aloneness
And be there for you when you need me
I want to find the river of life
And drink from the palm of existence
Inside the tabernacle of faith, hope and love
