Those who I was, live on in me,
Beyond a veil that l can’t see,
But,
Some nights when the mind's free,
They whisper who I can Be.
On those nights when all is calm,
Not even a mantra or a psalm,
Sublime messages, a soothing balm,
Touch my heart like a charm.
Men & women of many a hue,
I sense more than quite a few,
Always seeking something new,
In our journey to the True.
In a soft voice some gently say,
“You’ll be with us one day.
Till then learn all you may,
But stay firm on the Way!”
“When past our body-mind’s allure,
Sans bonds of karma, we're pure,
Then with the Divine’s kiss once more,
No more lives will we endure.”
