Moulding Future Destinies

Fire on the blazing hearth,

Water in the sacred well,

The timeless blessing-fields of earth

Cast on my soul their magic spell.

Beauty dancing in matter's core,

Thrilling with eternal joy

Children's spirits known before

In lives that Death could not destroy.

Holding the cup of love in hand

I meet the creatures of the wood

Increasingly to understand

That all life moves towards the good

See light and darkness in embrace,

Spirit in body recognize

As moving force and fount of grace

Moulding future destinies.
