Religious Poetry

விடியாமல் போகும் இரவைப் பற்றி நான் யோசித்துக் கொண்டு இருக்கிறேன். மரணம் என்பது அவனுக்கான உலகம் அழிவதைத் தவிர வேறில்‍லை. பிறந்ததிலிருந்து நாம் உடலுக்குத்தான் அதி முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுக்கிறோம்.

La maledizione del fico raccontata nei Vangeli di Marco e di Matteo è, insieme all'uccisione dei porci, uno dei rari miracoli che si risolvono con effetti negativi. Ma se la morte dei porci precipitati da un crepaccio libera un indemoniato, la maledizione del fico non porta alcun vantaggio. Gesù è a Betania, si sveglia affamato e si mette a cercare i frutti tra le foglie di un fico rigoglioso. Non trovandone, lo condanna alla sterilità eterna. Al di là dell'apparente insensatezza, che significato teologico dobbiamo dare a questa maledizione? Che mistero nasconde?

In the deepest, most enchanting part of the forest, a creature hands you a seed. Within the seed is your soul, ready to be grown again. From internationally bestselling author Courtney Peppernell comes her new book of poetry and prose, Watering the Soul. In true Peppernell style, the book is divided into sections, this time following a step-by-step recipe, to heal your soul.

Rooted in the grit of urban Baltimore and the forests of rural Massachusetts, these poems remind us that life's tensions and polarities are energies we carry within ourselves. These are poems of witness and commentary, conversation and meditation. They offer moments of close looking, and of looking away; of loving, and of bungled attempts to be more loving. They call us to look long and hard and generously at our lives. Written with radiant honesty and fierce tenderness, they suggest a path of inner discovery where mystery awaits us in the ordinary.

Wing Over Wing clears a path in the midst of everyday life to reveal the holy—whether catching fireflies at night, waiting at a bus stop, or experiencing the death of a loved one. This collection of beautiful poems lives at the intersection of the sacred and the ordinary, from the swirling flight of birds to conversations with the homeless.

W. H. Auden, Jorge Luis Borges, Howard Thurman, Julia Equivel, Thomas Merton, Langston Hughes, Pedro Pietri and Miguel Piñero, in their work make a connection between poetry, social criticism and the meaning of life together that is a part of Harold Recino's literary labor. His work creates a fusion between the personal and the public in verse that is searching, expansive, and walking hurt streets.

The critics are raving. Find a way back to the simple kind of happiness we all strive for with this new collection of poetry from author S. C. Porter.

Sleep. That most mysterious of times. The unconscious hours. Everyone needs it. Sleep offers a respite from the rigors and challenges of the day - a chance for the brain to process what has happened and bring rest and recuperation before the cycle of daytime activity begins again. Our poets, from Kipling and Swinburne through Hafiz, James Joyce, Edgar Allan Poe and a pillowful of others, explore the wish to rest, to close the eyes and reside in the land of nod.

A New Life is written as a fantasy with heart. It portrays the author's love of God, nature, and family. It is my hope that you, the listener, will be transported to a simpler time and place. You may even see a bit of yourself in the characters of the story, but they are actually fashioned after my own family. After suffering a great loss, the characters in the story have to leave the home they love and everything familiar as they begin a new life, in a new place.

Enmeshed within these poems are violent and purposeful contradictions of hate and love, exuberance and apprehension, of wrangling and conflict. “A Clash to Analyze” reveals the disorder and confusion in the current political scene, and “Good as Advertised” propels the listener to a oneness of betterment in order to help oneself, as well as assisting others!

A deep personal expression of life, love, and pain that's torn my heart over the years before stitching it back together again. Witness me find the strength to live through the heart slashes of life.

Eine alte Geschichte: Sehnsucht, Glück, Verzweiflung, die Begeisterung für die Schönheit des Menschen, den man liebt: Kein anderes Thema ist so zeitlos, kein anderes packt jeden, früher, später... Wer liebt denkt anders. Wer liebt, geht auf Entdeckungsreise... was für ein Abenteuer, einen 2600 Jahre alten Text wiederzufinden... voll von Assoziationen, Düften, erotischen Anspielungen... das Hohelied Salomo, für hundert Generationen Freiraum und Spielmaterial... wie oft sind Zitate aus diesem Lied schon hin und her gegangen, wie Löschpapier vollgesogen mit realer Erfahrung.

Punschlied I + II: Vier Elemente, Innig gesellt, Bilden das Leben, Bauen die Welt. Preßt der Zitrone Saftigen Stern! Herb ist des Lebens Innerster Kern.

Die Worte des Glaubens - Ballade 1797: Drei Worte nenn ich euch, inhaltschwer, Sie gehen von Munde zu Munde, Doch stammen sie nicht von außen her, Das Herz nur gibt davon Kunde, Dem Menschen ist aller Wert geraubt, Wenn er nicht mehr an die drei Worte glaubt.

Punschlied (Im Norden zu singen, Ballade 1803): Auf der Berge freien Höhen, In der Mittagssonne Schein, An des warmen Strahles Kräften Zeugt Natur den goldnen Wein. Und noch Niemand hat’s erkundet, Wie die große Mutter schafft; Unergründlich ist das Wirken, Unerforschlich ist die Kraft.

Schillers Ballade „Der Graf von Habsburg“ entstand 1803 und gehört zu seinen spätestens lyrischen Arbeiten. Auf den Stoff stieß er bei den Vorarbeiten zu Wilhelm Tell, als er sich mit der Geschichte der Schweiz befasste. Für Schiller eher eigentümlich setzt er hierin ganz auf die christliche Anschauung, dass ein tugendhaftes, gottesfürchtiges Leben noch auf Erden Belohnung findet.

As an individual imbued with a strong sense of spirit, I believe that all of us possess an innate potential for compassion, albeit to varying degrees. Through my poetry, I seek to convey this inherent quality to those who may not be fully aware of it, but who need gentle reminders that they too are capable of empathy.

To listen to my books is a creative exposé of who I am. Having lived a unique, "one-of-a-kind" individual, now an aging man who adores writing.

Before Langston Hughes and his literary prowess became synonymous with American poetry, he was a seventeen-year-old on a train to Mexico City, seeking funds to pursue his passion. His early poems, beloved verses like “The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” were written without formal training, often on the back of napkins and envelopes, and were inspired by the sights and sounds of Black working-class people he encountered in his early life. Blues in Stereo is a posthumous collection of these early works, in which we see Langston Hughes like we’ve never seen him before.
