I have felt desire thunder through the heart To settle in the pit where passion lies Known too Her love divine so pure, so wide, All beauty in her kohl shaded eyes. And then in this embodiment I saw Her smile at me and all the world was changed And when she spoke I knelt and gazed in awe, My life remade, the past rearranged. I looked at former lives across a shore I could not cross, rivers I need not ford And knew a joy never known before, These moments in the presence of the Lord. Yet none is free from taint by evil's touch And darkness still in human hearts resides In the mirror of my soul I see this much, What is to be when all the gloom subsides. I am convinced of the eternal good But the horrors of the present and the past Weigh heavily upon our brotherhood. Still there is light and light will be at the last.
