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

P158

           A Christmas Story

How love walks hand in hand with them.
Each step regenerates their love
and tells the tale of Bethlehem.

Toward the promised land they walk;
the eye weaves threads of love to eye;
a silent dialogue is love's talk.

On the threads of love there glides along
a moonbeam, glides from eye to eye.
Oh how they glisten warm and strong.

And my young lovers walk no more.
They have arrived in Bethlehem.
There is the Inn, the stable of yore.

They, hand in hand, walk to the crib.
No child? They did not come in vain,
for love walks hand in hand with wonder:
the cradle smiles again.

                             William Hermanns      [P158]
