Cradle of the Superhuman Birth

In the flower-studded meadows of my youth

In hemlock forests dense and deep with peat

I walked on mossy paths in search of truth

And in my heart the love of wildness beat.

Attracted to the woods, the rushing streams

The trails that led to deeper secrets trod

A child alone in the landscape of his dreams

A soul in turmoil searching for its God.

How vast the world beyond the body's door

Such joy beheld to make the spirit weep,

Within a realm of wonder to explore

As consciousness awakened from its sleep.

The inalterable progression of the years

Allotted time to pray and contemplate

The light They lit on earth that now appears

Illumining our lives and shall create

A home where gods shall walk with humankind

A life divine established on the earth

A ground prepared, for deity designed,

Cradle of the superhuman birth.
