To walk in the shade of great protecting trees Whose branches crowned with blessings cover me, Alive to signal moments such as these I turn within that inner eye to see
The reality behind this world of forms Whose beauty breaks upon the subtle sight As blossom meadows in eternal light Beyond all dreams and measurable norms.
The grasses of the earth in greenness glow And I am hesitant these joys to leave, Alone by the spirit's growth one day shall know That earth and worlds beyond are but one weave,
A tapestry of some near God's design Woven on the starry loom of space, And we who wander here are but a sign Of future possibilities and grace.
To look anew at earth and sea and sky And know the Infinite nor question why But learn to live and unlearn how to die Eternal love our human destiny.
