Four Poems by Yves Eaux  (1802-1847)

In my childhood days
Childeren were people
Love was life and Sunshine was music
I grew up... Yearning for spiritual satisfaction... and started losing myself
People became life
Music became childeren and Sunshine became love
Now I have found myself again...And I know
People are childeren
Life is love and Music is sunshine.
 
 
Not a moment of doubt.
Not an urge to change.
The perfection....
But now, the dream is over
I need someone to believe in.
From this moment,
I only believe in myself
to be sure that there is
someone who believes in me.
 
 
Everything changes
Hate becomes Love
War becomes Peace
Death becomes Life
Everything changes
Except / Accept
The spirits of nature
 
 
Lost in a world without wonders
Lost in a sky without a sun
The essence of our existence
seems to be painted in
Forbidden colors
Who are you?
I know who I am…
I am tired…
I am lonely…
I am confusd…
Faith is dying…
Ego is growing…
We are fading away…
Without a future there
Could never be a pas

Can make a stone of the heart.

My simple religion.
There is no need for temples;
No need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
The philosophy is kindness.

To believe your own thought,
to believe that what is true for you in your

that the sapwood is on the outside,

but the mouth of the wise man is in his heart.

The heart is both earthly and heavenly.
The heart is a receptacle on earth of the divine Spirit,
and when it holds the divine Spirit,
it soars heavenward;
the wings picture its rising.
