Modern Religious Experience: Assignment #2- Sacred Poetry

Assignment #3- Sacred Poetry

Torii Gate, Shinto

  

Sacred Poem:

Oh Holy Shrine, 

Deliver our thoughts

Bring us closer than ever before

Intertwine the worlds together

Pull the strings to connect our nature

Oh sacred Bird Perch

Heard the people cry out and crow

Let our voices sooth your anger

Declare your blessings from above

To bring forth the bright, morning sun

Oh sacred Torii Gate

Exalt our mere mortal lives

Please, accept our prayers and offerings

Provide prosperity, wealth, and good fortune

Oh spiritual portal

The transition from sacred to profane

Connecting the earth with the divine Gods

Give us the opportunity to change and revive

Guide us to our eternal destiny
