Perhaps I knew thee ere all life began Or when time commenced its endless caravan, For surely love predates the stars, the sun, And by its force God's labour was begun And surely shall we see the leap from man
As once a consciousness awoke in stone. The earth knew then she laboured not alone And slowly grew the life-force in the plant, The Sun her paramour and procreant, Though lingered yet behind the God unknown.
Then came the advent of the beast and bird And music from a silver flute was heard Amid the rumble and the thrill of breath And joy so briefly found, so quickly death, But on the fragrant breeze an occult Word,
The promise of a greater light appeared And man stood up, the heavenly choir neared To chant the odes of wonder and to hymn The songs of cherubim and seraphim Marking the advent of the charioteer
Who brings to earth the radiant inner Sun To fill our souls with visions of the One And by this Holocaust of God for man Create the bridge to cross to superman. The time is now, the hour has begun.
