Poems of Narad

Awakening to Inborn Light

We know not what the hour shall reveal
Yet all our acts on certainty are built,
Ignorant and blind still we feel
Accomplishment and shun the weight of guilt.

Rarely do we turn our gaze within
To view the miracle of soul and space,
The wonders of the spirit mid the din
Of days and miss the ever-welcoming Grace.

This moment in the panoply of life
With all our stars and all our hopes aligned,
When peace descends mid all our warring strife,
Arriving late to consciousness shall find

The secret of the godhead's plunge to earth,
The meaning and the message of our birth.
