most moving?

Question

what is the most moving chant or poem you have heard and what moves you about it?

Answer 1

We are part of the Goddess
And to her we shall return
like a drop
of rain
flowing to the ocean

It's calming to me. It makes me feel connected.

Answer 2

I hate poetry, but there is one I do like. Dirge Without Music by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains, --- but the best is lost.

The answers quick & keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,
They are gone. They have gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled
Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

Answer 3

It has to be Shelley's Adonais. I was at the Rolling stones concert following Brian Jones' death and Mick Jagger read it. I felt overwhelemed, couldn't stop crying. Years later i was in the maternity ward, waiting to give birth when a midewife asked me if i wanted anything, i told her i'd like something to read, she brought me a tattered old booklet, said it was all she could find. I opened it, first page was Shelley's Adonais! It felt so weird, hard to describe really but what i do know is that thoughts of the concert made labour pain a heck of a lot easier.

Answer 4

I play it cool and dig all jive
That's the reason I stay alive
My motto as I live and learn
Is dig and be dug in return

~Langston Hughes

This was like the first poem that I had to memorize at my elementary school. I was so afraid that I would learn it in time for the play, but I did in fact learn it. I was so happy that I accomplished it. Now I just say it whenever I think that I cannot do something. Another one is:

"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."
Philippians 4:13

Answer 5

For those who want the truth revealed,
Open thy hearts and secrets on seal.
From now until it is now again,
From now in which the memories end.
For those who are now in this house,
Only truth will be heard from their mouths.

Reason being we all want the truth
