THE WORD

Out of the silent Womb of Infinity

It fell-

The Word-

Into the gaping oyster-lips of Man

And he afire with Wisdom Supreme

Sang out in reverential chant

Aum, Amen, and Amin.

 

  There came then

The night of the Soul

The Fire within was utterly lost

In blinding columns of pitch-dark smoke

And men belittled

Strove to confront

Aum with Amen and Amin.

 

The Bright Dawn

I see again

At the door of mortal Existence.

 

Look

The birds, the beasts, and the trees

And even this mute insensate Earth

Sing glories of the Fructifying Word.

 

Why then should you

O! Slothful Man

Soil yourself in the mire of Ignorance?

Cast off the veil

That blinds you

Let Anger, greed, and phantom lust

Slither down like scree

And rebaptised in the Spirit of Truth

Behold the Beauty of the Word.
