God Waits: For stones to melt: For peace to seed
For hearts to hold each others need
And till we understand: God waits
For hearts to hold each others need
And till we understand: God waits
Shirley Murray
What is Life? A Madness
What is Life? An illusion
A shadow, a story
And the greatest good is little enough:
For all life is a dream
And dreams themselves are only dreams
What is Life? An illusion
A shadow, a story
And the greatest good is little enough:
For all life is a dream
And dreams themselves are only dreams
Pedro Calderon de la Barra
The shortest way to God
Through the gate of love, is found
The road of wisdom
Takes you a very long way around
Through the gate of love, is found
The road of wisdom
Takes you a very long way around
Angelus Silesius
When the power of Love
Overpowers the love of power
The world will find Peace.
Overpowers the love of power
The world will find Peace.
Donna MacGregor
This life is but the passage of a day,
This life is but a pang and all is over,
But in the life to come which fades not away,
Every love shall abide and every lover.
C. Rossetti
When once the soul has lost her way,
O'then how restless does she stray,
And having not her God for light,
How does she err in Endless Night.
O'then how restless does she stray,
And having not her God for light,
How does she err in Endless Night.
Robert Herrick
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
