Towards a Greater Truth

4/28/08

Your mellow voice hypnotic and your speech

Inspired and from your mouth uplifting words,

A cognizance of higher planes of thought,

There rings sincerity in all you say

And empathy for those who gather round

To hear the wisdom from a brother soul.

But I have looked long into your eyes

Dispenser of the higher light to men

And in this poem that few shall ever read

Question your wisdom and self-mastery.

It well may be, considering the past

And your betrayal of the bond we shared,

That I am wrong and all you do is pure,

Unsullied by desire and the taint

Of seerdom like a borer in a tree

Who enters unseen, a pinhead molecule

Only to eat away the soul within..

I hope, I pray erroneous my thought

Cast by some magician's magic spell.

Time and the slow growth of consciousness

Will clarify, perhaps will answer give,

But this I know and believe I know it well,

That all proceed towards a greater truth

And we may walk together once again

Hark to the voice that called through many lives,

Friends and brothers in the growing light.
