What is the Grail,
the Holy Grail?
Sought in Arthurian times
as a goblet,
as treasure,
as pure love.
The Grail is my body.
Like a studded goblet
sturdy through the years
studded with the jewels
of the acts of kindness
and compassion
and filled with love.
The Holy Grail
of each of our bodies
is filled with what?
Love is not given nor taken,
rather love is discovered and allowed.
It doesn’t matter
how much love
Creator gifts to each of us.
It only matters
how much love
we discover and accept.
It only matters
how much love
we feel worthy
to allow to fill
the Holy Grail of self.

Inspired by the THE MAYAN ORACLE book by Spilsbury and Bryner
Today is Men in the Mayan calendar. From Page. 237 of the book.
“Men asks a question of the universal quest: “What is the secret of the Grail,
and whom does it serve?" The answer reveals "The earth and I are one
---and so serve all."
Wow, I've missed quite a few really significant poems in not keeping up. They are wonderful. Keep it up Lizette. They are all inspirational!
ReplyDeleteLizette, This poem of the Holy Grail is so beautiful and profound. All we really have to do is ask, Who does the Grail serve? We don't need to have the answer, the question alone reveals the mystery of the Grail. thank you for this poem.
