The One For Whom Her Soul

To have walked upon the avenues of light

In vast cathedrals paced among the trees

At one with all the growing things of earth,

Known boundless energies of daring youth

And thrilled to the awakening strains of love,

There have I lived, there moved in peace awhile

The heart grown wider by the Master's touch.

Though grief has come with loss of one so fair

Who through the calm and chaos of the years

Ever in compassion stayed our course,

Mid treachery and disillusionment

Battled for the body's right to stay

With me amid the torments she must bear,

Unconvinced that death would come so soon,

On earth awhile this beauty seeking found,

Living in the moments of our love,

The One for whom her soul through ages sought.
