Transforming Hour


I am moved forward on an invisible course

By one who hides his face in the veils of time,

I feel but do not see the guiding force

That breaks the seals of fate in my sole climb

To a summit view I could not see before.

My faults perceived are like an open book

Many-sided, impossible to ignore,

I find reflected in a glance or look

Or word, the problem I must overcome.

Now is the moment, the transforming hour

In silence and in peace our depths to plumb

From the unknown past rise to be the knower.
