Companion of the Upward Way

With the turning of her head,

The evocation of her sighs

The signals of eternity

Appeared as diamonds in her eyes.

She walked so gently on the earth

Spoke softly in her dulcet tones,

In silence sang of beauty's light

That falls on men yet no man owns,

Of sweetness known when love is pure

And music vibrant in the air

Descending in receptive hearts

Anointing spirits joined in prayer,

Of joy that rises from the soul

When truth within the self is found,

The peace that reigns as mind is calmed

And body from its chains unbound.

I lived through many lives with her,

Companion of the upward way,

Child and mother, wife and queen

Delivering from night the day.
