Poems - Teachers

 

 Your mind has a flood of questions.
There is but one teacher
Who can answer them
Who is that teacher?
Your silence-loving heart.

Your Teachers

 

Let the sky  
Become  
Your teacher.  
You will learn  
How to serve.  

Let the moon  
Become  
Your teacher.  
You will learn  
How to love.

 

Let the sun  
Become  
Your teacher.  
You will learn  
How to become.

O teacher of Hope, 
I know your name.
 Your name is Faith.
O teacher of Faith,
I know your name.
Your name is God's Grace.
O teacher of God's Grace,
You have a special name.
Your name is God's Silence-Reality
Manifested on earth
For humanity's salvation-light
