Live Within the Light

July 16, 2011

In this unprecedented hour of change

Beleaguered as we are by poverty

Of soul and chastened by incompetence,

Unable to solve the enigma of the world,

A few committed to a divine ideal

Gather silently by the relics installed

In Centers of illumined consciousness,

Vibrating with His love and light and force.

One is recharged and for a moment calmed

As the traffic of the world speeds by,

And I, well, I must concentrate the mind

On the object I have chosen to adore,

For He who dwells in me is ever my lord

Who counsels me to live within the Light,

Guides and showers all my soul with Grace,

And She to whom I bow down in gratitude.
