Tehmi

I sit by her in the evening's solitude

Broken only by the cawing crows

No longer can I speak of this or that

For nothing is true the mental being knows.

I am lacking in the soul experience

And cannot say just where the psychic is

But reading with her in this simple light

I know that this and surely only this

Is real. I feel the presence of a seer

As the sun-bright day glides slowly into night,

Beside me voicing wisdom, heart to heart

One who has achieved the inner sight,

A captain on the voyage of her soul

Devotion, love, surrender in her eyes,

And kindliness and humble reverence

Aware that soon the body's fragile ties

Will sever and she will be free from pain

To kneel before the Lord of Life again.
