3 ~ Harvest Love

3 of the 60 ways of Peace challenge - Harvest Love

It's all about planting the right seeds...

Harvest ~ Andreas Vollenweider

looking up through the clouds of my imagination

these doctrines of delusion don’t deliver

the children bear the traces of a thousand years of fear

even true love – true love, breathes fire onto mirrors

find me at the gates of wisdom, questions falling, falling on deaf ears

so I set my ship out on the waters, trying to reach faith’s holy mount

but the dove I send ahead returns with just a hungry seed of doubt

this is the harvest of the world

this is the garden of our works

winding through the alleyways in the hour of the wolf

turn me out on the edge of town in a field of solid earth

I can’t resist the impulse to sow some wild kind of seed

and reap the ripened fruit of all I've grown upon the vines of every deed

this is the harvest of the world

this is the garden of our works

seeds of doubt grow vines of judgement

vines of judgement - thorns of blame

seeds of beauty - fields of wonder

seeds of anger - blades of shame

seeds of knowledge - trees of wisdom

trees of wisdom - fruits of grace

seeds of tears -  vines of forgiveness

seeds of sorrow bring the wild flowers of faith

seeds of truthfulness grow the tangled roots of feeling

seeds of joy - the vines of laughter

fruits of laughter finally bring the wine of healing
