When He Came by Dorothee Solle

He needs you That’s all there is to it Without you he’s left hanging Goes up in Dachau’s smoke Is sugar and spice in a baker’s hands Gets revalued in the next stock market crash He’s consumed and blown away Used up Without you Help him That’s what faith is He can’t bring it about […]

Generation To Generation by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

In a house which becomes a home, one hands down and another takes up the heritage of mind and heart, laughter and tears, musings and deeds. Love, like a carefully loaded ship, crosses the gulf between the generations. Therefore, we do not neglect the ceremonies of our passage: when we wed, when we die, and […]

Five A.M. in the Pinewoods by Mary Oliver

I’d seen their hoofprints in the deep needles and knew they ended the long night under the pines, walking like two mute and beautiful women toward the deeper woods, so I got up in the dark and went there. They came slowly down the hill and looked at me sitting under the blue trees, shyly […]

The Impossible Dream – Words by Joe Darion – Music by Mitch Leigh

To dream … the impossible dream … To fight … the unbeatable foe … To bear … with unbearable sorrow … To run … where the brave dare not go … To right … the unrightable wrong … To love … pure and chaste from afar … To try … when your arms are too […]

The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some […]

The Revolver by Carl Sandburg

Here is a revolver It has an amazing language all its own. It delivers unmistakable ultimatums. It is the last word. A simple, little human forefinger can tell a terrible story with it. Hunger, fear, revenge, robbery, hide behind it. It is the claw of the jungle made quick and powerful. It is the club […]
