Self

You see the scene

Of your inverted self

Through the rocks

Of space

Your outer self

Through the sands

Of thought

You trace--

The subtle race

For the sweet

Presence

Of the eternal ways

Of Love--

And in your true self

Face

The lilacs

Jasmine

Violets

And roses,

Luring

The senses within--

Homeward!
