Missing you all, so sharing this lyrical poem

Issue #2.95, as I call it, is a special edition carrying only a lyrical poem, a bonus poem, and the Editorial - Celestial Love Letters

Lyrical poem

The lead story in each issue presents my analysis on one of my favorite topics in spirituality. This time I am experimenting with a lyrical poem!

Harmony’s tapestry: Embracing the sacred thread

In a world diverse, religions intertwine,

Yet harmony can bloom, a truth divine.

For in the quest for the Supreme Power’s grace,

No need to leave one’s faith, a sacred space.

The truth unfolds, a notion to embrace,

Supreme Power, religion-neutral with grace.

Gender-neutral, for it transcends the bounds,

Embracing all, no bias can be found.

Geography-neutral, it knows no confines,

Across the lands, its light forever shines.

Species-neutral, every life held dear,

From creatures small to humans standing near.


Planet-neutral, the Earth we call our home,

Its stewardship, a duty not to roam.

For in respecting humanity's worth,

We find the path to spirituality’s birth.


Let’s shed the walls, embrace what’s true and just,

Interfaith harmony, in it we trust.

With love and kindness as our guiding star,

We’ll find the Supreme Power, no matter how far.


In unity, we’ll reach spiritual heights,

Embracing differences, removing fights.

For in our faiths, we find the sacred thread,

That links us all, in harmony widespread.


So let us join hands, in peace we unite,

Interfaith harmony, our guiding light.

For by respecting humanity's call,

We'll find the Supreme Power, the Source of all.

Bonus poem

Here’s a poem that I shared with you, dear reader, on 23 June on chat.

Interfaith Harmony Unites

In tranquil hues of faith, a tapestry,

Unfolding in a world diverse and wide,

Where hearts entwined embrace diversity,

Interfaith harmony stands as our guide.


A symphony of souls, distinct yet near,

Each note resounding with a sacred plea,

For unity, compassion, and sincere,

In shared belief, let love forever be.


With open arms, we bridge the great divide,

And seek the common thread that binds us all,

Through empathy, our spirits amplified,

Together, as one, we heed compassion's call.


In harmony, the sacred truths align,

Interfaith love, an anthem so divine.


May peace prevail and differences find grace,

With understanding as our guiding light,

We foster love, let prejudice erase,

And kindle hope in darkest hours of night.


For faith, a lantern guiding every path,

In unity, we find the strength to rise,

With empathy, we conquer fear and wrath,

And build a world where all harmonize.


Let kindness be the language that we speak,

Respecting creeds and cultures intertwined,

In empathy, our hearts will truly seek,

To celebrate the beauty of mankind.


So, let us weave a tapestry so grand,

Each strand a symbol of our unity,

Interfaith harmony, hand in hand,

A testament to love's eternity.


Through every soul and every sacred song,

May interfaith harmony hold strong.
