Poems of Narad

Within Our Mortal Form

The rapid change that only death can bring
To those for whom the soul and flesh were one
Is on me now, a great and awesome thing,
A further journey into God begun.

Canterbury, Glastonbury, Kent,
Have I not walked these ancient sites before,
The grail pursued, the occult curtain rent
Revealing a face to worship and adore.

Is there a land or sky we have not seen
In former births and astral wanderings,
What have we missed, what force has come between
Our realizations and awakenings.

Have we not slept a body's dreamlike sleep
Forgetting spirit in this brief life-storm,
What vast experiences do we keep
Immortal locked within our mortal form?
