Mystical Poems: “Hidden gems” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Hidden Gems We know not what lies in us, till we seek. Men dive for pearls—they are not found on shore; The hillsides, most unpromising and bleak, Do sometimes hide the ore. Go, dive in the vast ocean of thy mind, O man! far down below the noisy waves, Down in the…
POEMS: “Turn inward” by Mystic Meandering
Turn Inward… Turn… inward, toward “The Silence;” The Light in your Heart; the space of Pure Awareness… Turn from the voices of an unconscious world; the voices of confusion, hatred, and ignorance; the ones who distract you from *knowing* the Truth of who you are… ~ Turn ~ Turn and Listen in the deep Silence,…

MYSTICAL POEMS: “It’s Each Of Us!”
It’s Each Of Us! I placed the votive candle, Into it’s beautiful glass holder, And noted how the frame, In which the wax was held, Was so badly bent and battered. For a moment, I paused, wondering, Was such a candle fit to light, In Remembrance of The Beloved, Framed in such imperfection, So very…
