Endless Life

If only we could look within and see

The burning flame of being at our core,

The calm and radiant psychic entity

Instructing us that what has been before

Will be again, awakened and renewed

To light, bear the shield victorious,

Upraised before the living and the dead

Who, dying, live eternally in us.

As the spirit grows from birth to birth

And consciousness in animal, plant and man

Descends in glory to our chosen earth

The inner god who knows the cosmic plan

Will recognize its corresponding strain,

Take up the celestial challenge once again,

Towards perfection move as harmony's twain

And rising, soar beyond all death and pain.
