The Bliss of Unity
The Bliss of Unity
Long seasons pass and the return
Of winged song threading silken leaves
Reignites the flame of youth to burn
And the calm and widened heart no longer grieves.
Each day revealed to wonder as the new
Adventure of the earth-born soul proceeds;
Comrades there are many, friends but few
For each must confront his demons and his deeds
And most the karmic residue erase
By aeskesis and the spirit’s will to know,
And therefore challenged all things he must face,
Alone must find the inner strength to go
Above the limitations of the mind
The often failing heart, the body’s pain,
Eternal youth, eternal love to find
And know the bliss of unity again.
