Divine Love Governing the World*

11/14/03

The ashes of thy body now I place

Most tenderly my love beneath the Tree.

Protecting branches shelter thee with grace,

And love shall guide thy soul eternally.

I cannot say with final certainty

That I have moved beyond the plane of grief

Or see thy death the soul's necessity

That shakes my spirit like a falling leaf,

I only know our lives are in His care.

Humbled by the blessings of this day

I feel a love that permeates the air,

The honour and the privilege of the way.

One called us to the adventure of consciousness

Upon this earth, a scheme divinely drawn

By the prescient architect whose world caress

Enfolds our hearts and guides our souls to dawn.
