Call of the Soul

I have failed to see in the darkness the ray of Thy immanent coming,

And the sound passed me by of thy flute as I walked by Thy notes tender calling.

Words too, their force spent on deaf ears tuned to pain and life's needs ever pressing,

Far have I trod on death's road while Thy hand held my soul in its blessing.

Guide of the spectrum supreme may my head touch the dust of Thy footsteps,

I worship at the fount of Thy love and the path of Thy Truth-light descending,

Awaken the flame of the heart and kindle renewed aspiration,

Acknowledge the innermost call and the song of the soul's adoration.
