not in books found

Good-bye only to mortal-throbs

of spiritual blindness

leaving behind the mindless --

a drama reflected on

the mental screen  of silence.

And a warm "Hello,"

and a sweet embrace

in the sunshine found

in every nook

of an inner space 

of love,

wisdom,

kindness,

and patience with the mind of men.

Not in books found

but on the spiritual plane

do we soar, bound to each other 
with joy, and in Love’s sacred power!
