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

P522

                     Who are you?

Who are you? I'm called earthbound creation.
When young, I'm filled with light, when old with shadows.
In me live undercurrent urges fed by aeons:
My thoughts dance now in hell and now on angel meadows.
Have you a soul? I'd have no power of choice -
without a soul I'd be but pushing flesh,
would end up in the devil's earthly barn
to curse existence while I slave and thresh.
Yet I broke up the walls of three dimensions.
Infinite space I let my soul embrace.
Didn't Jesus say, "Do greater things than I!"
I am now childlike love that feeds God's grace.

                                                       William Hermanns        [P522]
