Unseen Guardians

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

The balance between life and death
Is O so delicate:
A mere slip or twist while driving;
An electrical blackout;
An alteration in the balance of genes;
Each can result in death.

O spiritual traveler, why are you so haughty?
Do you really believe
You are master
Of your own fate?

Without the Guidance
Of the Unseen Ones
The flower of your life
Would wilt and decay.
They project the spiritual fabric
Which holds together this world.
Working in anonymity
They are the Selfless Ones.

Prayer of Surrender

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

As the willow bends to the wind
And the leaf curls to the rain,
O Lord, I surrender myself to you.

Lead me on the straight way;
The Way of Thy Servants,
The Way of Thy Grace and Mercy.
O Lord, guide me through my life
And guide me through this day.
Help make me a better person
Who helps self and others.

O Lord, I surrender myself to you.
-SB

Death Call

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Gently, the ocean waves break upon the rocks;
As an old woman rests
Beneath the late afternoon sun.
Sheltered under her favorite umbrella,
Sitting in a worn beach chair.
Listening to the ocean’s soft lullaby;
Slowly, she raises her head
And peacefully calls out across the water.  (more…)

How Many Times?

I wonder how many times
I have walked upon this planet.
Certainly this is not my first trip;
I am an old time traveler who has returned, building upon past vacations.
Sometimes, I wonder why I put myself through this journey again and again.
The flesh decays; sunshine turns to darkness and those you love pass away.
Why return to this place of sorrow and tragedy?

Yet, the heart whispers- because without bitterness there can be no sweetness.
Without loneliness there can be no love.
Without death there can be no life.
All to be shared, over and over again;
all to know the Creator, myself, and others more fully.

Personally, joining in the action of creation- moment by moment.

-S. Bitkoff

Poetry by Klaudia Rogowicz

Open your hand...
I see the light flying into the air...
It is like a pigeon
which lost its wings...
Fly...
You are safe now... (more…)

Poetry, Music and Spirituality

Poetry and music serve no practical purpose towards our survival as individuals or as a species. Despite this, both occupy a huge role in our lives.

"The pen is mightier than the sword", wrote Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Though physical weapons may yield physical submission, the heart and mind are only hardened into opposition direction by such primitive means. Sticks and stones may wound the flesh, but words have the power to penetrate the physical exterior and affect the immortal soul within. A mere word, positive or negative, has the power to inspire or destroy - be it from a girl/boy to whom we are attracted, a boss, or potentially influential client... (more…)

Purpose

by Michaela Sefler

Likeness to eternal forms,
by proximity adulated,
freeing from bondage
are the responses.
Action,
body whole,
in relation to a higher soul
complete.
In final attempts,
coming together
two making complete,
intent coming through
as clear as breeze.
Distance relative,
at each point
yet coming together in finality,
constant in the creative force.
Progress, are initial attempts
holding,
in all areas
at a single point.
