Upon the Sapphire Sky

Isleep and in my unremembered dreams

Take flight into those unknown hemispheres

And ride upon the swiftly flowing streams

Of soul experience; an oarsman steers,

A being whom I faintly recognize

The silent One, who speaks not but observes

The movements of this life and calmly plies

My ship of soul, a guardian who serves,

Companion of my days forever true.

By slow degrees unerring grace reveals

The planes of consciousness; their royal hue

Slowly across my inner vision steals.

I catch a glimpse of raiment passing by

And stainless feet upon the sapphire sky.
