if the God-touch is there

The God-light can stay.

Paced with the Divine.

While the wise men
Talk and sleep.

And must be even as he.

Is a holocaust
Of the Supreme.

Who has not
Passed through hell.

Sleeps an absolute Power.

Must lonely live.

Is greater
Than his fate.

Conceals the light you are.

When they stand alone.

Must walk
In darkest night.

To a victory
Never won.

Whom God leads.

When I kill.

If earth consents
To be saved.

Might break
The imperfect earth.

A cave of darkness guards the eternal Light.

A Light there is that leads,
A Power that aids.

A moment sees,
The ages toil to express.

~

All our earth starts from mud and ends in sky.
