The Transformation of the Earth

What are the stars to me who have seen your eyes,

Or the sun, a dim reflection of your smile,

The moon mysterious no more to rise

Above the night on this enchanted isle

Surrounded by the magnitude of space..

You instilled in me the fierce undying flame

And captive held my soul in your embrace,

I sleep to wake, upon my lips your name

And with each breath continue on the path

Hewn by your hand, made safe for human tread,

Who lifted as a veil the years of wrath

And turbulence that fell upon my head.

I bow, O Radiance divine, your light

Alone can save the earth and reach men's hearts

Now hidden in the purple folds of night.

Unite our souls from all those disparate parts

That rule us asking not the least consent,

And weld us to the truth no force can move

No evil slow, the great divine advent,

The transformation of the earth by love.
