Song of the Planets - Linda Perhacs

And as I awoke

I heard multiple tones

In a resonant hum

Made of layers of drones

I saw all of the planets

They were spinning as one

They were moving and breathing

As if they were one

Like a hum

Like a prayer

Filling all the universe

The most beautiful tones I have ever heard

They were spinning in a beauty of unity

And I heard this full prayer

Filling all the universe

We are one with the one

With the sun

We are one with the one

With the sun

We are one with the one

With the sun

We are one with the one

Who is the sun who is one?

With the one who is the one

We are one with the one

With the sun

We are one with the one

With the sun

We are one with the one

With the sun

We are one with the one

Who is the sun who is one?

With the one who is the one

Peace is an essential principle in nature

Not merely a quality to be acquired

It belongs to the innate essence in all things

And like love is a cohesive principle

Behind all movement there is rest

Behind all sound there is stillness

So that behind the motion and the music of the spheres, there is peace

You too, if you would achieve, must find that peace

No man can plead that he does not know these things

Messenger after messenger has come and spread the truth abroad

It is you who have locked up such truth in temple, church and mosque

And taken refuge in the courts of law

Self denial is unknown

And is displaced by denial of the self

Still you laugh contemptuously when told that love shall save the world

Or purity, or truth, or law, or sacrifice

You have hardened your hearts

Yet he still comes

The embodiment of love, of purity and of truth, of law and sacrifice

To teach you once again the ancient truth

Less war, and even greater war should take his place as teacher of the angels

of men

Be of the same mind

One with another

For there is but one life

Which is the very essence of you all

It is love that will open the doors

What will your answer be?

Men of earth?

What will your answer be?

What will your answer be men of earth?

What will your answer be?

What will your answer be men of earth?
