Poetry Zooms in: On the Sacred in Persons and World

By Carroll E Arkema

"A poem can capture a moment, / Zoom in on an instant in time / Otherwise lost in the ongoing rush / Of a life not experienced in rhyme." These poems can fortify your soul, help you see deeply into persons and the world, and be mindful of Sacred Presence in the supposedly mundane world.

They lament the tragic results of humans setting themselves up as sacred or ultimate, and they contemplate the mystery of death as part of the soul's journey of transformation. Savor them, see something of what I see or even more, and be fascinated by the presence of the Sacred even in something like the way a house wren builds its nest.

They're free of me. Now over to you
