To My Neighbor

I lift you higher,
lift you out
of your body cells
stuffed with anxiety
of your past -
an evil load that smells.

I'll fill each cell
with love and joy
that makes the
angels dance.
You'll glide through earthly
filth and stench -
a spiritual trance.

From your youth filled eyes,
your hands
and feet,
a holy peace shall flow,
so you and I
be filled with grace -
let us be still
and know.

William Hermanns
[P527]

Seelentränen

Seelentränen sind Gedichte,
rot mit Herzblut aufgeschrieben,
tiefem Menschenleid zum Ruhm,

Lies sie still in reinem Lichte,
unbeschattet,
frei von Trieben:
Du betrittst ein Heiligtum.

Wilhelm Hermanns
[G001]

Poem of William Hermanns

P002

           Who are you, man?

Who are you, man?
I am my Maker's image;
He breathed His breath in me;
I am my brother's image;
He breathed my breath in him,
I am the kin of all beneath, above,
The ant, the rose, the seed of mighty oak,
God told His breath, go forth and live and love.

What are you, man?
I am the walking thought of nature.
The ant feeds me with order, zeal and joy;
The rose weaves perfume in my mental cloak;
The honey laden spring breeze nudges me:
"Let's fly and hum together with the bee
And hang our thoughts as leaves onto the oak!
I lure you with my love; I'm God's decoy."

Why are you, man?
To mold creative wisdom in my flesh.
I drink the ocean out, absorb the sun;
I glitter with the Himalayan snow;
I mold creative wisdom to "I am."
"I am" shall fill your you. My love shall glow
Upon your void and level out your loss.
I am the man that takes you from your cross.

                                 William Hermanns    [P002]
