Within Our Mortal Form

The rapid change that only death can bring

To those for whom the soul and flesh were one

Is on me now, a great and awesome thing,

A further journey into God begun.

Canterbury, Glastonbury, Kent,

Have I not walked these ancient sites before,

The grail pursued, the occult curtain rent

Revealing a face to worship and adore.

Is there a land or sky we have not seen

In former births and astral wanderings,

What have we missed, what force has come between

Our realizations and awakenings.

Have we not slept a body's dreamlike sleep

Forgetting spirit in this brief life-storm,

What vast experiences do we keep

Immortal locked within our mortal form?
