I saw as on a cinematic screen The papyrus of all our life unroll Revealed was beauty to the eyes unseen And the never-ending vistas of the soul.
Floating through dreams as on buoyant sea, Unteared your face, unstained its radiance, Aglow, attuned to unearthly harmony And plenitudes exceeding sight and sense.
Then pain the dark companion came in sleep And with him came the breaking of my heart For death into your weeping cells did seep; I know not why such beauty must depart.
Our life of bliss lay shattered in a day When hope had fled to chasm depths unknown To all except the Witness of the Way, But through your body's plight our souls had grown.
And the flowers of spring frozen in earth's embrace Shall surely wake again to blossoming; You shall return, I'll look upon your face And hear the songs of angels welcoming.
