Birthday

July 29, 2012

I slept in the fragrance of jasmine

And woke on the wings of the morn,

Intoxicant of beauty

In all the bodies I’ve worn

Through centuries of seeking,

Triumphs and defeat.

Soon age may overtake me

But this sacred life is sweet.

Before me stands the Guide,

Breaking the barrier-way

All my love now offered

As I kneel to pray

To one long known and worshipped,

What more is there to say

We are now fast becoming

Sole actors in Their play.

We cannot see the future

Yet know this earth shall last

Through all man’s grave destruction

And the darkness of his past.
