Godhead's Seed Once Sown

Out of the soul's deep slumber

I woke in vision to see

Star-fields appear without number

On the cloak of eternity.

I asked for a star or two

And She gave me a galaxy

Of children singing the new

Songs of destiny.

In a blaze of white sun-flares

I saw Her feet descend

Down the golden stairs

Signalling the end

Of the spirit's long travail

In its house of flesh and bone.

Her creation will not fail,

Godhead's seed once sown.
