spiritual poetry

Devotional lyrical writing

Spiritual poetry is verse concerned with the soul, the divine, or transcendent experience.

It may express religious devotion, mystical insight, or the search for meaning beyond material existence.

The tradition spans cultures and centuries—from Rumi's ecstatic Sufi verses to the meditative work of T.S.

Eliot: She turned to spiritual poetry after her diagnosis.
