Poems of Narad

Evolving Soul

The manifold dimensions of a man
Half animal still since thought began
And inner vision peered through weakened eyes
Seeing a golden future to surprise
The intellect which seemed to know it all
Yet could not bear the power of the call
And hid within its whitewashed walls of thought
And yet in moments of seeing truly caught
The thread of oneness in the vasts of space,
The elementary beginnings of a race
Supreme among the vestiges of men
Who like animals confined within their pen
Hug their precious lot and their desires
And when the body fails and spirit tires
Give up the soul to realms of peaceful rest
Preparing to return to face the test
Of transformation and the godly goal
The bright renascence of the evolving soul.
