From Former Lives


I watch the future flying past

And see the past as future once,

Time is contained within my sight

And space eternal in my soul.

Love that held me to the earth

So that my spirit would not leave

Without fulfilling its purpose here

Has flown beyond the world to rest

Alone in her infinity.

No longer do I weep for loss,

A knowledge growing through the years,

A touch of wisdom on my brow

Enables me and I am whole

Again to face and overcome

The consequence of acts and deeds,

The difficulties and the strain

Of all the problems that remain

From former lives beneath the stars.
