In Her I found the Key

And when she walked I saw in all her steps

The countenance and beauty of a queen,

For here was one unvisited by grief

An Olympian calm in her was felt and seen

Gathered in a body built for bliss;

Not of our human joys that fleeting move

Like spectres floating through a fog of night,

Hoarding like misers the penury of love.

Her smile could kindle a flame in human hearts,

Her voice a song of Paradisal spheres

Heard in the listening spaces of the soul.

In her I found the key to those lost years

Of wandering in lands that held me bound

To earthly life and the lure of siren calls

That in the darkest passages resound

Like footsteps heard in bare and deserted halls.

Perhaps our former lives we must exhaust

And all the karmic patterns we have wrought

Before we can with certainty of will

Advance into her light, the One we sought

Since first man wondered when the stars were born

And round the spinning earth we hold so dear,

That glowing fireball that heralds morn;

I hear the hooves of Kalki’s steed draw near.
