POEMS FOR HARMONY HYMN: 2009

A work of art
How to shape a precious work of art?
How to do with hisses resounding in my coast with
the rhythm ofthe sand and hummingbirds?

How to do with prays
theyopen the windows to a new day?
how to do this echos tremble
in the silence of your company ?

How to know your rhythm and the rhythm
of your work through memory
with so many free dawns
and dead hopes ?

How to shapethe balance
of the blood in my veins
asking for a new light
among brothers?
It will be marvellous
buildingtogether the major
piece of art in an united symphony of love
all over the earth.

The Peaceful Meeting
By Fide ERKEN
There was a meeting
on the shore near the calm sea
They gathered together
like a regular army
They talked a long time silent
peaceful words uttered
happy events shared
There they were
at their secret meeti
and nobody but a lonely poet
realized the sea gulls' peace event
The poet thought
they came from all over the world.

New Veil of the Earth
By Nina Goncharova

Have you seen the butterfly’s birth?
It’s astonishingly awakening picture:
She appears from cocoon as if from a death,
It’s a miracle- she’s become a winged creature!
In cocoon is now our Earth
Changing its essence from within
Bringing for humanity rebirth,
Growing up invisible light wings!
Silver wings of conscious human beings,
Knowing the purpose of their life
Capable to be the source of dreams,
For harmonious creations and delight.
Have you seen the planet’s New Time birth?
It’s here though it might seem to be dark time,
We create a new veil of the Earth
By becoming awesomely alive!

Veil ...and Future

The aurora gradually delivers to clear
The night breaks up
A vertigo is going up from the depth
Of my humanity
It impresses me as far as the ecstasy
Shall it promise the day coming?

The Tragic Graze
By Kae Morii

To make a beautiful vase in the kiln
What kind of fire
What kind of graze should we need?
When the justice is told in the opposition
The violence disclosing into the word, to the force...
The violence coincided with the justice
The tragic graze on the more to be fired into the fire
To make a beautiful vase
What should we need?
O, the kiln!
Please tell me that
To emit a clay pot at the flame
To tear in this brooded dark...

Ammar Banni: Honorary Poet of Peace from Harmony for 2008.

Dear Friends of Harmony!

I like to send you below Tholana Chakravarthy's letter as the Selection Committee Chair on the best poem for "Hymn to Harmony":

With great delight we should mark this GLOBAL HARMONY DAY (June 21) of our HARMONIOUS ERA CALENDAR in golden letters. It is but appropriate to mention that theInternational Selection Committee for a Hymn to Harmony (ISCHH) is established by the GHA with the purpose of a creating a Hymn to Harmony. And, we have called upon universal poets and composers to share our concern for a genuine cause, i.e. UNIVERSAL PEACE. As we inch our way towards the goal, there is likelihood that the response to our call will provide a new twist with renewed spirit within a short span. The GHA’s endeavor is - the school children and youth should be drawn towards universal peace with a heart-stirring and musical Harmony Hymn. Since they are the backbone of the present and future generations, they should be given a broader space to join the main stream universal peace movement.

Now is the turn to declare the Best Poem for a Hymn to Harmony of the current year (2008) who would receive the Honorary Title - "Honorary Poet of Peace from Harmony". And, it is the superb poem by Ammar Banni, titled, “THE GLORY OF PEACE”, chosen as the Best Poem for the Hymn to Harmony (2008). HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS to AMMAR BANNI on behalf of GHA for being awarded the Title of "Honorary Poet of Peace from Harmony".

While THANKING all the participants in this universal cause, we are sure to receive a multiplied bulk of contributions from world poets in the coming year.

Harmoniously

June 21: Global Harmony Day

HYMN to HARMONY

By Nina Goncharova

Russia

1. From the highest spheres of the sky,

From the depth of Mother Earth

There’s wonderful call to fly

It’s the Harmony call of the Universe.

Refrain:People, let’s spread our wings,

We’ll all learn to fly,

For us to be harmony winds,

For fairytales to be alive.

2. For all people to learn to love

And every human being to embrace

For children on the Earth and from above

To create the planet’s new face

Refrain: People, let’s spread our wings,

We’ll all learn to fly,

To be winged divine beings

To BE Harmony - for you and I!

HYMN TO HARMONY

On the sacred altar of being

The three stones, not stones

Are placed at proper angles,

Prior to the ignition of the fire of love,

Source of the ocean of light and life infinite,

When lo, a huge dark cloud suddenly surrounds

The high priest,

Raining below not rains and rays of harmony,

But burning passions of separation mystery,

Prelude to the deluge of Thanatos

Seeking to invert the harmony of the spheres

Into the love of power

With its triple curses of re-action, ignorant arrogance

And echoes of self serving ego

In the non-harmonious anarchy hierarchy

Of trying in vain to do, know and be.

Chorus:

Now comes the day of struggle

Leaving all in rubble

As all efforts crumble

The masses mumbling

As civilisations come tumbling

Down slopes of tears and fears

Without hope of freedom,

For the tree of life

Is now frozen

Into statue of doom! (END)

In the ensuing twilight

The light of truth has grown so tiny,

The crown having fallen from the mountain

Shielding the secret fountain

That used to defy gravity,

But now object and subject of the same

Cowering in shame

Down ignorance halls,

Or no, strutting and puffing in arrogance balls,

Having lost sacred jewel,

Now scrabbling in the delusion haze for tit-bits

Taken as material for systems

Of pseudo history, economics, philosophy,

Psychology, art, religion

And what have you!

Chorus:

What a night of the day

Freezing all hearts,

Uplifting all hands

Not in blessing

But in lessons of cursing and violence

Bent on bending the code of harmony

Into sessions of oral hysteria,

Prelude to firing of arms

In fireworks that have no need for myths

To know that Hades is here

As the not childlike ones parade

In parody of being,

Usurping the seat of harmony

Wet with sweat of mourning! (END)

All along though,

Among the audience of old

Poised for the burning of the candle of hope

Not all went cold,

And some are becoming bold

Holding fast onto the last rays of hope

Just before they disappeared,

Becoming pioneers of harmonious universal culture,

Heralds of peace in creation,

Fathers of the new mind

That of the childlike,

New breed of the stock of truth

Forerunners of universal brotherhood!

Chorus:

Hope is there

All this while,

Long buried in sands of frozen space and light,

And battered by shattered times gone crazy,

But standing firm

Rooted in soil of faith

Preserving the original harmony

Harmonics of true economy, history,

Politics, religion, science and art

Founded on peace, light and abundant life

For all,

For tall the re-germinating tree of life and hope

No dope this one

But the rope

Through which uplifted mankind will rise

To halls of universal harmony

Away from mourning

To sway in the breeze of peace and bliss

Kissed by the light of liberation

And regenerated by the power of love

Transcending the love of power! (END)

Slowly, the tides are turning

Seeking for the critical mass

For mankind to overcome the critical mess

And begin the journey to shores of harmony,

Dropping all arms

Picking up charms of light-works this time

Having no space for fire-works,

Time having frozen

Standing still,

So that the new race can walk on water

Fly in the air together,

As one light body,

Praying for harmony light

To descend on all,

The preying instinct evaporating and dissolving forever

As with one voice

All as one sing:

Chorus:

Back to back is the new embrace

Seal of the new race

Seeing in all directions at once,

No ounce of disharmony resounding,

As the cords of harmony guitar

Twang the new tango,

Taking all to the centre

To enter into the trance of unity

As one body,

One love becoming the in-thing,

For there is no more something or anything

Save waves of the love song

Saviour of mankind!

With one heart

The heat to come together is ignited,

Reuniting the splintered selves

In the altar of harmony

From whence the bird of sorrow had flown,

For the golden tomorrow is here now,

The future now part of the present feature,

In culture of heart to heart,

All singing the hymn of love

Miracle of today

Saving the world from swords

That disembowel through vowels of violence.

The new drama is soul renewing

Based on the new understanding,

All realising the interconnections,

The illusions of missing links dropping

Its mesmerising phases,

As the circuits of the one body are revealed

In the glorious new deal

That integrates all angles and curves

Through reintegrating intermediate prisms

For the free flow of the light of truth.

The ray of harmony

Flows through all

As clouds of antagonism disperse,

Letting in the rays of optimism,

Prayer of the righteous

That have set their minds aright,

Focused on the crown of universal brotherhood

Set on the throne of love

From which infinite torrents of light burst forth

Spraying all dimensions of being

With the rays of rebirth,

Gift of the new order

Now that the shift from chaos

Opens the way

For the free flow

Of the hymn to harmony!

A HYMN FOR HARMONY

or onE KEY SECRET OF HARMONY

Let’s surrender our self-will to the rhythms of Natural Creation,

then, in will flow harmony through living ways of all-compassion,

ever trusting to Creation’s universal, guiding Cosmic Spirit,

then how to create perfection we will clearly see, as felt;

Live in accordance with all laws of ecology,

so to be from all crises and disharmonies free,

for our lives’ temples have been by our Creator designed

and can never be by purely human systems defined;

Let us learn from the rhythms of the seasons and oceans

so as to learn when to act and from action to rest,

imbued with an ethos & ethics of non-violence

and all our relationships will evolve for the best,

for the Hellenic Golden Mean is of balance the path

when we in one all-giving life-force have childlike faith,

then all egoisms that might us divide

will dissolve, no more needed, everywhere, world-wide!

Love & Light ever are, cannot be contrived

and will flow between all beings blessed by being alive-

so let these our criteria on all things of judgement be,

for all that has arisen from human activity!

Let’s abandon all life-styles that our Earth can harm,

and whatever our passions, may our Inner Selves remain calm

for the peace that we will manifest flows from within ourselves

and thus, all our problems, given means, in time, resolves!

It must be more than an ideal in seeking, talking heads-

as we need to live it, every day, instead;

IT IS, WE ARE, so let’s conform to Creation’s perfection

and always upon it have times and spaces for tranquil reflection!

WORLD WITHOUT FRONTIERS

Blossom from harmony the peace-loving souls!

A world without frontiers should become our goal!

May the heart-broken soul of the universe

Feel pleased to hear this soothing peace-verse,

Bless, bless all beings to live for each other

Lest, death and ruin spoil the blooming future.

May the looming clouds of destruction and war

Quench the thirst of peace with a friendly shower

Writhing hearts are praying for peace with pain

Harmony betwixt us, can only remove this stain.

Blossom from harmony the peace-loving souls!

A world without frontiers should become our goal!

We have seen heaps of tragic death and destruction

We have seen the maimed and the orphaned children,

Conflicts have always dealt a blow of death and ruin

Cannot peace and harmony become our champions?

Unity is our might that cannot jeopardize the world

Let peace be on our lips and dwell within our fold,

Our spirit and unity uplifts the morale of everyone

Hopes anew will soon unfold with a tuneful hymn.

Blossom from harmony the peace-loving souls!

A world without frontiers should become our goal!

ANTHEM WITH THE HUMAN LOVE

(For the harmony of our lives)

People of the remote cities

In osmosis with nature

Precision of its cycles

Made our beautiful blue sphere

A planet of harmony.

Connected like rings of life

Whatever then to be their nationality

The color of their hair

The pigmentation of their skin

The shape of their eyes

Let us help the new generation

To become principle of harmony

With a high spirituality

With the service of humanity our Elder.

Between Venus and March

Planet of the solar system

To be driven circularly

The ground is round and turns

It carries out its rotation

With an infinite meticulousness

According to a definite rate/rhythm and direction

Our eyes should be impregnated

From all these varied continents

Their diversified beings

Of which children of our cities.

In symbiosis with nature

The anthem of harmony

Is a call to the reason

The wisdom of our hearts

Intelligence of our spirits

The harmony of our lives

Nourished of a multitude of sounds

Express the eternal, the universal one, the unlimited one.

The anthem with the love

In its harmonic magnificence

Is the formula of the universe

Those and those which breathe the emotion of it

Receive this sequence of agreements

As a scented breeze

Without war, without hatred and fear

White clouds in the sky

One spring full with buds on the ground

In the same way what the borders with the sky, do you see some trace of it?

The anthem of the harmony is this situation where as LEVINAS expressed it

“The human spot par excellence is that of inter human

Opening to the other in its unicity without preoccupation with a reciprocity. “

The Glory of Peace

Far from any ideology

Far from any religion

far from any ethnos group

far from any civilization

you are my brother

Although I do not divide you the ideas

although I do not divide you the religion

although I do not divide you the fatherland

I divide you humanism

the life is a culture

who does not have a border

peace is the heart of the life

love of the others

you desire gives for living

you are my friends

Although you are far

I do not know your face

but I know your heart

who share the love

you are ants of work

who move throughout the world

you are the white doves.

you are the glory of peace.

June 21: Global Harmony Day

HYMN to HARMONY

By Nina Goncharova

Russia

1. From the highest spheres of the sky,

From the depth of Mother Earth

There’s wonderful call to fly

It’s the Harmony call of the Universe.

Refrain:People, let’s spread our wings,

We’ll all learn to fly,

For us to be harmony winds,

For fairytales to be alive.

2. For all people to learn to love
