On the Evolutionary Way

I witnessed a transcendent miracle

The parting of the soul from earthly realms

And the body it chose as its receptacle,

A miracle that mind overwhelms,

That one could open eyes so tightly closed,

Impossibly one final time to behold

And turn to the beloved, soul exposed

As death embraced the body growing cold.

I have no knowledge of a higher plane

And never have I seen the soul in flight

I only know that we are blessed again

By those advancing towards that greater light.

I believe that love shall save us all one day

And there are none exempt that shall not be

On the evolutionary way

Carried forth to truth and sanctity.
