Mirror of God's Delight

I walked in fields where flowers spoke to me

And all that mind might dream could not compare

With the wonder and the ecstasy

Of the gathered beauty I saw blooming there.

No cloud appeared in the blue of Krishna's sky

As from the body's shell my soul arose.

It watched me live and it watched me die

With Nature and the earth in deep repose.

I found the silence that contains all sound,

Beheld a light that does not shadow cast

In that moment when the spirit soared unbound

Released freedom from the clinging past.

I saw all life divine through inner sight

And all the world a mirror of God's delight.
