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

P154

                My Mystery

The I Am is a mystery:
From the uncreated flows the word,
and the word is Mystery.
It has no beginning, no end.
My I Am is a part of mystery.
If my I Am had a name,
awe would forbid me to write it down.

My I Am is sent
to walk the earthly road for awhile.
Though wretched the load
and sackcloth on my skin,
my hope is not spent.
I walk on and smile —
inexhaustible my spiritual wealth within.

                             William Hermanns     [P154]

Note: written in March 1980
