Love Poem From God

And again we are back at the wonderful “Love Poem From God” (from Twelve Sacred Voices from the East and West by Daniel Ladinsky), which explains in simple steps (steps that are reflected in the Native American Codes of Ethics) what we need to do in order to see our Golden World come true.


I have come into this world to see this,
The sword drop from men’s hand
Even at the height of the arc of their anger
Because we have finally realized there is only one flesh to wound,
Our eternal oneness


I have come into this world to see this,
All creatures holding hands
As we pass through this miraculous existence
Sharing on the way to even a greater being of soul,
A being of pure dancing light forever entwined and at play with existence


I have come into this world to hear this,every song the earth has sung, since it was conceived in the divine womb and began spinning from its own wish
every song by wing, by fin and by hoof, every song by hill, by field and by tree,
by man, by woman and by child, every song of an ocean, a river and a stream, every song of tool and lyre and flute, every song of gold of emerald and fire,
every song the heart should cry with magnificent dignity, to know itself as God


I have come into this world to see this,
men so true to love
they would rather die before speaking and unkind word
men so true to their lives of gods governance,
a promise of hope

I have come into this world to see this,
the sword drop from men’s hand
even at the height of the arc of their rage
because we have finally realized,
there is only one flesh to wound
