The Atheist

[Wagner]

The Atheist
----------------
Dear God, that cures the seeker of all doubt,
That claims the righteous unto Thy fount
Of everlasting peace,
That steals the darkness from the eyes of those
Who look Thy way,
Thy infinite grace and attraction plays
Before and dances splendid light
In spirals of ocean bliss to carry a life away
To healing.
My love to Thee, to Thee...
...but I'm just an atheist.

Dear God, that reconciles the separated,
That reveals hidden strength and laughter
To bring about the anastylosis of the broken heart...
Thou that turns all minds to beauty
Free of form and separation,
Joins the hands of all the parted
Views, unites them in Thy mercy,
Thou that heals the severed,
My undying love to Thee, to Thee...
...but I'm just an atheist.

People who identify as atheists are some of the most spiritual people I've encountered. There often appears to be an unfiltered prism in their hearts that allows them to witness the beauty of sacred reality with profound clarity that transcends theistic ideology. What a lovely poem, Wagner. Thank you for sharing. :)

I feel there could actually be an Athiest section on this forum

It is strange to say... but us Athiests can indeed be quite spiritual.

Thank you all for your comments! :) I forgot about this one. :P

Atheists by definition do not believe in God, and with all their mind and heart feel that when you die, it's over! But that becomes religious no.

An Agnostic questions the question of God, there is no absolute answer to the eternal questions, so wait and see?

A Spiritual person, what makes a person spiritual anyway?

I'm an Agnostic that loves to study all the possibilities and the joy found in my heart.

The heart is spiritual ground zero. It welcomes atheists, agnostics, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and all alike. Just leave your boots at the door.

The brain likes to pick through these matters, puts on robes, makes divisions, and tells each other off.
