how can we sink when together we can fly?
What Is True Love?
by
Philip Claude Andermann
They say love is a color...
only the blind can see!!!
At times in life we may feel so blind
At times in life we may feel so blind
we cannot see the sun
of love which dazzles us,
but thus we can feel it leading
to see the important things..
At times we cannot open our hearts
until our own hearts are broken open,
sometimes through love.
At times we cannot see
except through our tears,
seeing because of our tears.
Such tears of painful love
can become necklaces
of priceless jewels
transforming us into royalty,
of understanding.
For it is the heart that sees
the things that are important.
[True love is only as blind
[True love is only as blind
as true justice.]
The sun of all colors
revealing arises
growing out of the dark earth
of our earthly desires,
it arises
it arises
out of the blindness of night.
The colors of true love
do not come from outside us,
as in broad daylight,
they live within us
they live within us
so we cannot see them
until we see ourselves
and see all the black fears
and see all the black fears
were only shadows;
the sun within dawns
to turn tears of hope
into rain of self-love
and nourishment
to offer others.
Do not worry
if now it should seem dark in our night.
Because alone,
Because alone,
we can see the lonely...
But not to exploit!
The simple torch of passion
lights the very night
to reveal uniquest beauty freed
to burst into self-expression
of compassion..
Determine
to be the compassion justice
that shines when
no-one sees it
to cheer us,
for thus it shines uniquely
for thus it shines uniquely
for those in the night
of blind suffering
seeking caring.
If we are in night,
If we are in night,
our small spark
can become the torch.
of the mentor of compassionate justice,
blazing all across the earth
blazing all across the earth
in growth
lighting the way to dawn.
For all.
For all.
In our hunger for truest love,
our hunger to feed,
we can swallow the sun, the world,
even the distant stars, the darkest corner,
the happiest smile, the unseen tear,
soaking it live
even the distant stars, the darkest corner,
the happiest smile, the unseen tear,
soaking it live
into every cell of our mind and body.
To our friend
lost among the snow-petals,
in the winter before spring,
in the winter before spring,
their feelings pervading our whole being,
let us reach out into their night,
let us reach to every challenge,
let us reach to every challenge,
that we may encourage by example.
We'll weep hot tears of caring
even should the world freeze over,
for we have swallowed a sun,
for we have swallowed a sun,
to keep to share
when we dare to share
when we dare to share
the joy of true sharing:
the sun of passion and hope.
the sun of passion and hope.
If now it seems night,
then let us challenge and stretch to the skies
to touch the skies
of the night of others
to turn their stars into true suns,
to reveal our truest colors in revealing theirs,
to turn their stars into true suns,
to reveal our truest colors in revealing theirs,
to turn their Earth
into a new universe..
For truest beauty is not in the face,
it is a light in the heart,
that reveals beauty in all faces..
Your heart is the lit face
of humanity.
When we are blind
When we are blind
to the walls
that would separate us,
we see and reveal
we see and reveal
the colors of true love;
the walls turn
the walls turn
into oceans
connecting us.
And when the envious inevitably attack,
how can we sink
how can we sink
when together we can fly?
