Look forwardangel, never looking back, The past islittered with the dreams of men And battlesfought many lives ago. There aresome who having tasted bliss Now bear thewounds of sorrow and defeat. Look upwardangel, never glancing back For darknessfollows us as day the night. Though fewhave risen above the lowly self Upon thejourney's steep and winding track The futurebeckons still, the past recedes, For what islife but a continuum, Experienceupon experience Leading to agoal we cannot see Or imaginewith the faculty of mind. Yet sheddingEgo's hard and brilliant mask, We shallarrive, fulfil the Spirit's quest Accomplishingin life the ageless task, Eternalbeauty paramour of truth Life on earth fulfilled andvanquished, death.
