Peace flows into me As the tide to the pool by the shore; It is mine forevermore, It ebbs not back like the sea. I am the pool of blue That worships the vivid sky; My hopes were heaven-high, They are all fulfilled in you. I am the pool of gold When sunset burns and dies, — You are my deepening skies, Give me your stars to hold.
Hi, I'm Julien DuBrow—thank you for joining me for Sacred Poetry Sundays (originally on the Sacred Poetry Project), where I share the poems and poets who inspire me—voices that stir something true, something sacred.
Here are three ways to take a poetry dive with me:
Read it aloud—let the rhythm or rhyme and breath of the words settle in your body.
Notice what lingers—a feeling, an image, a line that refuses to fade. Be curious. Why does this speak to you at this moment? What door is it opening into your life, your heart, or your relationships?
Sit with the inquiry—What wisdom is this poem offering me? Let it open a doorway to reflection, journaling, or simply feeling. If you're a Sacred community subscriber, please share your insights with us. I welcome your reflections and the wisdom this poem awakens in you.
Thank you for being here. Poetry is a sacred conversation, and I’m honored to share it with you. See you next Sunday!
—Julien
