I live to feel the greatest joys
Any lifetime spent without knowing
The bliss of meditation, the purity
Of immersion with the light-body
Is not my destiny, my overwhelming
Birth right, I am matter ennobled
By the nourishing ray, the enlightened spark
I live to feel the breath of love
On my lips, feel it heave in my lungs
Not a reckless love, or a selfish note
But I want to die to self-interest
On the threshold of service
Giving back to the world that gave me
The cause to love God, the divine in us
The love that proceeds to do the highest good
For which I am capable, the wick
Of the flame of all that is bestowed
By some grace that gives and allows
Us a few years on this Planet, humble.
