A silence fell among the devotees As with a sound of vespers drawing close She neared, and carried on the evening breeze Her fragrance far more haunting than the rose.
Stillness descended on the assembled throng Expectancy quivered in the languorous air The heart replied to the hidden psychic's song, Soft voices filled the burgeoning night with prayer.
Slowly She moved, Her hands upon the rail Her heavenward eyes withdrawn in potent trance The seconds as passing aeons seemed to sail, Then on us She cast a long and lingering glance.
In that instant of Grace our future's road was paved And all our human failings fell subdued By a love embracing all, our souls enslaved Caught in Her eyes a future golden-hued.
O shining One who walks with unstained feet The stars in their splendour are pale reflections of Thee, And all the suns their radiance replete, Ignited by Thy luminosity.
