If (Poet)

[Java_Girl]

If you follow the blind
You will not see,
If you follow the deaf
You will not hear,
If you follow your feet
Your heart will travel far

God is in the hands
That make themselves
useful

Faith is the ice flower
That grows in the winter

Do what you can
With what you have,
From nothing but desire
Comes all

God does not always
Walk with us,
When we have done wrong
We walk alone
And God watches

God’s face is found everywhere
And nowhere is God’s face seen

Love;
First a kiss
Then, sorrow

The language of the heart
Is found
In the eyes

God’s love
Is a river
Between our shame
And His mercy

Listen
God speaks
Through
Silence
Anger is madness
From which all thoughts
Flee

The footsteps ahead
May be too large
May be too small
Create your own!

The pain of one star
Gleaming over the great expanse
has died long ago
to tell us its story

If we have no companion
By the light of a flame,
May we find a friend
In the dancing flame

Keep what you find
In those you love,
This is what shapes
The human heart

Count your beads
Each one a reminder
Of the last,
All together
One prayer

To those who do not look
Into your eyes,
It is as if
You are not present

A child’s eyes
Remind us
Of who we ought to be

Death always comes
At the oddest hour
For nowhere
Does time stand still
Than at death



We know nothing,
At the end of the journey
We still do not know

Kiss me on the lips
So that I may know you

Passion
Is the self
Seeking self
Elsewhere

It isn’t where you’ve been
Or where you intend to go
It is who you are
And who you become
In-between

Life is a series of accidents
Happenstance
Chance
And daily mysteries
They all add up
To a chain of events
Called life

There are no plans
Only plenty of time
To make them

Life does not go
From one point to another
It just is
It is we who travel
As all things do
But life itself
The spirit of what is
Is constant

A leader must first follow
Then lead,
A follower has many friends,
A leader, few



Prayers are a way
Of finding one’s own soul
A way of talking
To the God within

Live in a moral world
Judge, tolerate, and discern
But with an understanding heart

Listen carefully
God is speaking
In the graceful movements
Of your hands

Those that love,
Do so
Because God
Lives in their hearts

Lover,
Your voice
Draws me into
The space
between us both

God is here
At least,
This is what I tell myself
When I feel God
Is nowhere

Have dinner
With a stranger
This is how
Knowledge is gained

Man without woman
Like page without poem,
Woman without man
Like book without binding

God
Such a small word
For all that is

Everyone thinks of
What is right
In their heads
But what is “right�
Is only in their heads

When it’s right,
You’ll know it,
If you know
What is right

Sometimes you have to follow life
Where it leads you
The stars have eyes too
