Secret of the Grail

Scour the earth seeking if you must,
the vessel bound of Holy Trust.
But it's secret lies within the heart,
of his faithful ones in a place apart.

Communion with the spirit divine,
is hidden well within it's rhyme.
The chalice sought by mortal man,
can only be found in heaven's plan.

By purest spirit lived in the trials,
a living spirit there's no denial.
Faith in trust insight of life,
takes courage and a tempered swipe.

Of blade of truth held in the hand,
of those who seek immortal Man.
The grail belongs to heaven still,
it always did and it always will.

Seek within nay naught without,
of quarried truth,of what it's about.

     ~~~Suseann~~~
and in answer to whom doth it serve;"It serves thy my Lord"

Author notes

Taken from old text predating old testament Hebrew.One very old text predating new testament states."For at the gates of the mighty,She hath taken a seat,and at the entrance thereof chanteth Her song.Published by Falcon's Wing Press in 1960. "In the beginning, before the Lord made the Earth.When He furnished the Heavens, I was with Him;and when He set to the sea it's bounds, and the waters passed not the word of His mouth. I was harmonizing with him. I was the one in whom He delighted,and I was daily gladdened by His presence on all occasions."1960.from Proverbs 8;3-31

    My friend, Carol, called me (after seeing The DaVinci Code) and said, "Now I know what the Holy Grail is." I said, "What?" and she said, "Mary Magdalene's, uh, you know." Cute, eh?

    Lovely and Perfect!!!

    Very right, suseann, the holy grail is within us, residing majestically, guiding our actions, leading us in our way and yet most of us don't even recognize it. Instead we travel from land to land, mountain to mountain searching for it, which we already hold within us.

    Certainly a great write and shows your enlightened soul.

    Good luck in the contest

    Love and blessings from India - Joel -

    That is true, we do write in hopes to enlighten and be enlightened. I try not to be closed minded...I believe something to be true until proven differently. That is how I am in life. I give everyone a chance, no matter..and they are who they are until I knwo better for msyelf. SometimesI make mistakes, but usually I have made the correct assumption about people. But, my belief systems have been sorely tried and I am careful.

    Splendid, I don't need to enter this contest now as you're written beautifully all I wanted to say about the Holy Grail. That it's a secret within our own hearts, that if found is the key to the universe, God is the Holy Grail!
