Wonder Shall Not Cease

The flower's aspiration must be ours

Devotion uncomplicated by the mind,

Offering desireless and pure

Self-giving without need of recompense,

Opening to the sun of being's truth,

Blossoming in the light of divine love,

Growth sustained by total sacrifice.

I have felt the aspiration of the trees

And looked into the lily's deep recess,

Inhaled the fragrance of the jessamine

And revelled in the peony's perfume.

And as the flower turns towards the light

Opened my petalled soul as in prayer.

All Nature is a vast experience

Of God's largesse and wonder shall not cease.
