In One Transforming Day

Icebergs like a fragment of my thoughts

Drifting in a clear and tranquil sea,

Strains of melodies beyond the stars

Floating through the vaults of infinity,

I hear a voice known from some distant past

That speaks of lives and loves lived long ago,

Of soul that does not die though body fall

And divine experience still to know.

Sometimes these earthly years seem not enough

To grow in light and love towards that sun

Reflecting the light that is for evermore.

I feel the inward journey scare begun,

Through every trial and every stumble and fall

I know uplifting grace is with me still,

Resolute to offer and to call

I shall persevere and steel the will

That every flaw within should be revealed

And all misgivings fade and die away;

I carry in me the map of truth, still sealed,

Its opening awaits, and so I pray

To offer all in one transforming day.
