In the early stirring fields of youth I walked alone and lonely was my way Within my soul there was a search for Truth A burning in my heart no force could stay.
I delved into religion but no peace There amid the dogmas could I find I peered in the occult but could not cease The yearning for company of a higher kind.
And so I met the great minds of the day, Philosophers and teachers of great wealth, Of wisdom, courtesy, and strangely they Accepted me, but one who with a subtle stealth
Called my name and I without a doubt Crossed the seas and finally came to Her And in that burning moment my soul came out And met the One my friend had called ‘Great Sir'.
In that transcendent hour I was born Not reborn as the ancient gospels say But recreated and the past was torn From me, my soul to seek the upward way.
Now in my eighties I have come to see That all my life a single destiny Was but to serve both God and man, Imbibe Their force as best I can
And grow into the light the Two brought down To serve the earth and place on her the crown Of supernatural beauty that we may see The eradication of evil's ignominy.
