There is a new poem with this title in German here in my German blog.

On the Path of Love
On the Path of Love we go,
forward, to a World of Love.
On the Path of Love we grow,
on that Path, we live – above
and below, it is just ONE,
come my friend, and do not shun
either of the two of them.
Whereas normally the poems just “flow”, in this case, in fact, although I had the impression it was to be published here, I could not first find the ending: I thought of the German “beiden”, which would have perfectly fit, but “both” would not have fitted in rhythmically. What then came, was “neither of these goodies”, but that is informal..
As to the New Year
Here.
Joy and Dance
In the context of reading this article and a question here, I wrote:
Dance the dance of Joy,
dance the Freedom of your Love.
Dance the dance, no fear be nigh;
dance the dance, and from above
Heaven will its blessings bring. Heaven be thy Star;
dance the dance, infinity
brings the Light – no dark
shall rise again.
In you, there is but Freedom.
In you does Love prevail.
In you is precious Freedom;
in you does Love prevail.
A Song for Beauty and Glory – Merry Christmas!
Sing a Song of Beauty, sing a Song of Glory,
for Christmas, it is here.
Loving, thriving through the lands,
Santa comes, Christ draws near.
Merry Christmas!

Inspired by W. E. Hanley (and Leonard Nimoy)
After retweeting this tweet and reading the previous tweets ( by Leonard Nimoy from W. E. Hanley’s “Invictus”. I tried to let me inspire. It may not be my finest work, but still I feel I should put the verses, that came, here:
I love thee, dear – no fear to be
a truth at all, for once you are
what heaven wants, t h a t is what b e.
For thou art HIS, yes, all around.
A bit later I wrote:
I shall not fear,
but rise anew
to where my sun has gone.
Sing
Sing the Song of Love,
Dance the Dance of Light.

Crystal Angel
When I saw this video, I wrote the following poem (in German, translation follows):
Engel aus Kristall,
leuchtest hell und klar und rein.
Kleiner Engel aus Kristall,
führst zur Wahrheit Du uns ein ?
Führst uns “nur” ins Liebeslicht,
doch die Liebe ist das Sein.
In dem Sein erkennst Du Dich,
ziehst zur Einheit dann Du ein.
(in English:
Angel made from purest crystal,
shining bright and clear,
little angel, made of crystal,
do you lead us truthful here ?
