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!
