  What makes spiritual poems different from other spiritual writings? Poetry features a way of pointing more directly at reality, instead of just defining it. It uses words as instruments for the transmission of experience. Spiritual composition then, is more about enlightenment than opinion. Listed here is a classic example from the Tao T-e Ching:

  Let your heart be at peace.
  
  Watch the uncertainty of creatures,
  
  but contemplate their get back.
  
  Each being in the market
  
  returns to the common source.
  
  Returning to the foundation is serenity.
  
  If you do not recognize the foundation,
  
  you come in confusion and sadness.
  
  When you recognize where you came from,
  
  you naturally become tolerant,
  
  disinterested, amused,
  
  Kind-hearted as a grandmother,
  
  Responsible as a king.
  
  Absorbed in the question of the Tao,
  
  you can handle whatever life brings you,
  
  and when death comes, you are ready.
  
  The Christian Bible is high in religious songs. Consider this short passage from your composition within Corinthians:
  
  When I was a young child,
  
  I spoke such as for instance a son or daughter,
  
  I thought like a son or daughter,
  
  I reasoned like a child;
  
  when I became a man,
  
  I threw in the towel childish ways.
  
  Spiritual poems aren't necessarily religious poems. They could only point at the common values in living, and at our relationship to these. This is often observed in the final stanza of the poem 'Lake Superior.'
  
  There was the sun o-n my face,
  
  and this was superior
  
  to any description, thought,
  
  belief o-r faith.
  
  Spiritual composition can make an effort to point out some particular truth. It can also be more enigmatic, leading you to examine a notion more directly to locate your own truth. It could be an expression of love, or encourage one to flake out and be at peace. Basic entertainment, however, will do reason to learn poems.
