Touch True Grace:
Calm the heart,
Realize quiet is a good thing,
Touch the sea with kind eyes,
It will lead you home above.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
Stay your hand when the way is not yours,
Lead with a well-considered voice,
Persuasion is the only road,
To understanding and lasting change.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
Love life and keep only it sacred,
It's time should be decided,
Only by God,
Only by God.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
If a man should call you to the fire,
Walk to the shores at sight of blackened bones,
For death is nowhere sacred,
See the gentle swaying of a tree in wind.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
Teacher of the nets,
Guide the hungry to the catch,
Give them clean water and sweet air,
And catch their tears of joy glistening in the sun.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
Build warm homes for all the lost,
Welcome new minds to the table,
See that different is only that,
And decide only where your own feet shall go.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
Your life is yours,
Claim you no other,
You are master of your two hands, eyes, ears, lips,
And after your feet no more than this.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
This is the truth of the human condition,
Suffering is neither gift nor blessing,
But simply the universe's call for compassion,
Lead with heart and hand, not fist to it's voice.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
The world can be a place of peace,
Learn to tend to your own home,.
And welcome visiting guests,
For in time they will miss home.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
We are so close,
To the gates of both Heaven and Hell,
The difference is but an emotion away,
And that is why there are two kinds of tears.
As the cool waters wash your feet upon the sand,
Only loving acts touch true grace.
May you cry with a clean heart.

Dan, all your works are wonderful, but i feel this one has touched me most.
it seems to be an echo of my poem in "compassion - mercy - peace - happiness" yet your words seem more real, more tangible, something i can see and picture.
i like the picture you have painted here better!
a poem well done, a perfect poem!
- john
ps: did i say i liked it? :) |
