### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spiritual Love
*by T***W on May 17, 2005*

It has been said that just as every river is winding its way to the sea so every soul is returning to a glorious reunion with our source, God. ~Daniel LadinskyDaniel Ladinsky presents poems from the past in a new clarity. He not only translated these poems, he lovingly selected poems of great beauty and meaning.While many of the poems do sing with his voice, a new understanding emerges and the message of an ecstatic union with God is very present. What is even more interesting than the poet's desire to worship God, is God's worship of humans, which can at times seem foreign unless you think of this as an admiration of His creation. Then, like two human lovers, God and mankind enter a space of love, adoration, blissful unconditional love and shared communion.In this regard, the poems are ecstatically beautiful, although not always about God. There are plenty of love poems that seem to have been written for human lovers:One regret that I am determined not to haveWhen I am lying upon my deathbedis that we did not kissenough.~Hafiz (c. 1320-1329)Hafiz influenced Emerson, Goethe and Brahms and Daniel Ladinsky explains how he wrote wild love songs to the world from God.Priests also long for the love of a woman and yet maintain the vows they took and some poets compare their love to the vows the sun and the moon took as they will never touch. One of the most beautiful poems contains references to giving God a "pet" name and that he responded more to prayers when he was loved this way. I loved Rabia of Basra's poem about the moon once being a moth:The moon was once a moth who ran to God,they entwined.Now just her luminous soul remainsas we gaze at itat night.Many of the poems are secretive, sensuous and tell stories from mythology. While many authors present poems without introductions, Daniel Ladinsky gives an introduction to each poet and the twelve chapters then become meaningful studies of a poet's life and longings. We learn about Tukaram and how he survived a famine or how Rumi was influenced by Rabia of Basra who was actually sold into slavery because of her beauty.Meister Eckhart gives us insight into why we all want to be loved. St. Catherine of Siena talks about only wanting to "hear the hymns of the earth, and the laughter of the sky." So, there are many poems about nature.Love Poems From God is a unique window from which to view spiritual love and you may find yourself writing your own poems, inspired by the beauty in this collection.Featured Poets: Rabia, St. Francis of Assisi, Rumi, Meister Eckhart, St. Thomas Aquinas, Hafiz, St. Catherine of Siena, Kabir, Mira, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross and Tukaram.~The Rebecca Review, author of Moonflower Dreams

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful selection of spiritual poems
*by A***R on July 21, 2025*

Very excited to be reading this. I very much enjoy poetry and it is interesting to have such a variety. The book arrived well packaged and in good condition. Please be aware that the seller is a book thrift shop. I found a photograph and slip of paper with handwritten notes. This doesn't take away from the book. I simply want to let people know that they may find unexpected things there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mystics can be entertaining.
*by G***A on October 4, 2023*

I have found endless hours of comfort and kinship with these mystical poets. As a seminarian, I had heard of some of these writers but not in the loving, even whimsical, ways they appear in this beautiful book.One may find these poems refreshingly relevant for times such as these. These writings reignited my passion for God.
