Lifetime*
In silent moments when you take a rest
From all ado in daily life's distractions,
Engaged in obligation's useless actions -
Is now the world your home with you its guest
So quiet hum of thoughts begins to rise,
Between the heart’s desire, reason calls,
Elusive first, my veil of scruple falls -
And my insight comes from my inner eyes
Undreamed yet suddenly so bright and clear
Truth, Beauty, Goodness be my guide
In deepest layers lifelong to preside
Free flow of lifetime revelation here!
Unquenchable this light will rest in me:
Life's long prelude to deeper destiny!
