I wonder if I know him In whose speech is my voice,
In whose movement is my being,
Whose skill is in my lines,
Whose melody is in my songs In joy and sorrow.
I thought he was chained within me,
Contained by tears and laughter, Work and play.
I thought he was my very self Coming to an end with my death.
Why then in a flood of joy do I feel him In the sight and touch of my beloved? This 'I' beyond self I found On the shores of the shining sea.
Therefore I know This 'I' is not imprisoned within my bounds.
Losing myself, I find him Beyond the borders of time and space.
Through the Ages I come to know his Shining Self
In the Iffy of the seeker, In the voice of the poet.
From the dark
