For She Awaits

I will draw the force around me like a flame

Protecting and enveloping the soul

And call Her till the walls of ego fall

Tumbling into seas of nothingness

That I may stand unclothed in that bright dawn

The torn and tattered vestments of past lives

Discard for One within me clothed in light

And all the world turn suddenly divine.

Am I not he who has followed in her train

The Mother star who lights the pilgrim's way,

Through many a birth and death her face revealed

Or glimpsed ascending peak to higher peak.

Are we not comrades, kin through countless lives

Descending through unnumbered realms to birth

On this conscious soil marked for eternity,

The dwelling-place and habitat of God.

Let me rise and go now to the sea

Leaving earthly sorrow in my wake

For She awaits, the Mother and the bride

Who sets our course and plots our destiny.
