Darshan of the Lord

I met Him across the borders of a world

That mind knows not nor reason can explain;

And came to Him while the body lay in sleep

Entering as a guest in His domain.

It was a place familiar yet unknown

Simply built in shades of white on white

Its substance formed of subtle matter's make

Transparent, pure, an edifice of light.

In a room that seemed like any earthly room

On a couch that felt like any earthly seat

He bade me come and sit by Him while men

I knew in life walked by on silent feet.

I sat beside the Lord of Destiny

Who came on earth to charge our lives by grace

That we might find the fount of inner fire

And accelerate the transformation's pace.
