Poems of Narad

Evolutionary Threads

April 1970

A metempsychosis in evolving time,
A unity of unremembered births,
A chain and link of fierce Promethean woe,
An end unseen by a momentary veil,
The numbing shadow cast by Truth's inverse,
The search for That which latent lies within.

In poem's mantra and in music's chant
A timeless sculptor chisels tirelessly
To evoke a hidden God from stubborn clay.
The residue of former selves may serve
In part to answer our silent prayers
To know ourselves beyond the dream-like past.
