Thy Presence

THY Presence wraps me with a subtle glow,

Inspiring all my movements from behind;

Even the imperceptible breaths that ow

In my still sleep bear thy white hush of Mind.

I draw from thy Spirits inexhaustible source

A wealth of beauty that illumes each mood

And opens one by one the secret doors

Behind which burns the spark of thy Godhood.

Now all my moments, born from thy delight,

Are each a star that wheels around thy Face,

A timeless sun-Visage of the In
nite,

Embodiment of His immortal Grace.

Day after day I come closer to thee

Until dividing space shall disappear,

And sharing thy Vision of eternity

I see the lone universe like a diamond tear.
