The Emerging Face of Divinity

January 1, 2000

All beautiful is Thy Hand has wrought
Among the stars and galaxies,
In every form there may be caught
Thy miracled infinities.

The plants' perfection and élan
Counsels me to know the stone
But as the leap from ape to man
The key resides in Thee alone.

And in this age a full descent
Of the Lord of Life in human birth,
The promised hour of divine advent
Begins the Life Divine on earth.

Our vaunted knowledge flying goes
Upon the winds of uncertainty
For mind cannot know the soul of the rose
Or the emerging face of divinity.

Amal's comment: "Again, a fine expression - especially the last stanza - of the change within you visioning a changed world dignity - revealing everywhere.
