And if we die achieving not the goal That lured us from our deep and distant sleep, The important thing - to love while we have breath And wonder in our hearts at simple things And gratitude for the vision she instilled By a power beyond our human littleness. Touching now the twilight of our lives A prayer unfolds around the wisp of soul That beacons to the parent signal light, A call for deeper depths and higher heights, For offering's increase and waning needs, To still the mind, to calm the vital pulse Surrendering to That which brought us forth From the seas of sleep descending here to earth, And how the spirit yearns for swift release From error and the vagaries of mind To fill our days with prayer and thankfulness Looking to Light and the Divine embrace.
