No joy is everlasting and no truth Pinned down as eternal verity, No evil act that cannot be redeemed Or lie that holds a grain of honesty. We are not here as on a darkened sea Rudderless upon the tides of time. The witness to our deeds no autocrat Who doles out punishment or high reward To those alone who heed his harsh commands, But one who leads the caravan of life Journeying through the deserts of our lives And through the valley of our dark desires Or on the mountain peaks of discovery, To summit transformations of the soul. Awake in us while we are yet asleep, The polar star of our unerring course As we meander and are circumscribed By life's events and pleasures great and small. Whether by routes circuitous or straight We shall arrive to see the earth transformed, Harmony and bliss our rightful state.
