A Radiance Unstained

Sometimes between my waking and my sleep

I see the words outlined upon the page

Or hear a music for mortal ears too deep

And feel the presence of an inner sage.

In moments I hear a voice I know is mine

Yet find myself adrift in unknown seas,

Or see a face so perfectly divine

That suddenly I fall upon my knees

And all the world is married in my eyes

No fragment that is not in God contained.

Then vision fades from these peripheries

Above my brow a radiance unstained.
