The Unknown's Touch

If all the world forget and fall asleep

We shall recall when beauty walked awhile

On earth, the memory of Her feet shall keep

Within our breasts and waken to Her smile.

And though Night's cloak is hurled across the skies,

Consumed the light by which we ply our way

Across the vast unknown that sleeping lies

Between the worlds of darkness and of day,

Love shall prevail and greater light shall come.

In secret groves no human eye can see

A city rises round a golden dome,

A consecrated dwelling-place for Thee.

A voice we hear, our spirit's counterpart

Echoing through the corridors of time,

It grows a living mantra in the heart,

Its melody inspires our souls vast climb.

Emerging from the darkness of our cells

New harmonies now sound upon our strings,

To realize that Grace within us dwells

And feel the Unknown's touch in common things.
