Heaven-Bird

Enfolded in our deepest dreams

A soul embedded seeks release,

A spirit-force whose radiant streams

Reflect the vastness of its peace.

A truth awaits, a puissant Word,

A light within our body's cells,

A sound within the silence heard,

A music of far-off temple-bells

Entices the mind from reverie

Of idle, vain imaginings,

From sleep to wake and waking see

The heaven-bird on silver wings

Rising from the breast of night,

Resplendent in its Godward flight.
