Sun Blossoms

Eternal Heritage

A FIRE rises towards the height of God;
A fower of infinity, it breaks
Into a skiey vastitude, silence-shod:
The world of stars from its diamond sleep awakes.

The fleeting sparks of. life grow dim, aware
Of the hidden glory of an invisible sun
That follows the path of time like a flaming prayer
Bringing into a high communion

The spirit of earth with fathomless spheres of light.
All now is hushed in a calm splendid death,
And every sound born from the Infinite
By the magic touch of some white germinal breath

Reaches the shore of our mortality.
Its rhythmic undertones stirred in our heart
Become a fiery universal cry
To be a lustrous and immortal part

Of the veiled consciousness that leads unknown
The vast creation to its secret goal.
Our lonely call of suffering outgrown
We gain the heritage of the eternal Whole.
