Across Uncharted Continents of Soul


Facing the future that I might attain,

Accepting present loss for future gain,

Hacking away the forest of the past,

The will to find my spirit's truth at last.


Above our houses in the dimming light

The star-encrusted ceiling of the night

Appears, and heaven seems not far away,

A heart-beat from the brilliance of our day.


Now I no pioneer of change must find

In the unexplored countries beyond mind

A path to lead unerring to my goal

Across uncharted continents of soul.
