Sun Of Our Enlightenment

Future and past I cannot see

Or births and lives in former spheres

And stars that have companioned me

On journeys through unnumbered years

Beneath the ever-brightening sun

Of our enlightenment whose blaze

Before man's labour had begun

Was felt upon his obscure days;

A greater light whose mysteries

Impel the spirit to renew

Its vision quest upon time's seas,

The unmarked pathways of the few

Who move towards an unknown goal,

The lone adventurers of God

Seeking the sanctum of the soul

Who follow where His feet have trod,

Forgetting self, defying mind,

Foregoing ego and desire

To lift this fallen humankind

And raise earth higher, ever higher.

I am aware of love divine

In whose compassionate embrace

My soul shall one day redefine

This being's centre and its base.
