“God enters by a private door into every individual.”  Religious poems are a way to individualize our expression of our faith.  Religion is considered form many different standpoints.  Many times our choice of religion is stemmed from family and cultural background.  Many try to find a way to personalize their faith or belief system.  Inspiration can be found in religious poems.  Often time when life is overwhelming and depression sinks its teeth into the soul, religious poetry can be a motivating factor to move forward.  Death poems sometimes have an underlining religious poetic theme about the afterlife to console those left behind after the loss of a loved one.

Ancient Poetry - What is the meaning of life?
Spiritual and Religious turbulence were most likely the first medium in history for the writing of poetry. Possibly the first book of poems, and definitely the most widely read throughout history, is the Book of Psalms, written in part by King David. The Book of Psalms is filled with poetry in which David expresses his love, faith, sorrow and doubts to his creator. Man, from the earliest times has always searched for a deeper meaning to life and has used poetry to express these feelings.

Spirituality - A uniting factor.
