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

P605

Curse and Blessing

Man, have you with cross and blessing
ever changed your ego-drives?
How do you love to hate, make wars,
and waste your children’s lives!

I swam through rivers of blood at Verdun
with cross and blessing. Pious Pope
and pious Kaiser! Now the atom
gives human ego hope.

Has ever Church subdued Man's ego,
or rather was his solemn guide?
Self-awareness rules the ego,
gives Soul the eternal light.

William Hermanns [P605]
