A Noble and a Traveler

From some other time, from some other race I’ve stopped for a visit, from some other place A sovereign soul, I retain still a trace Of all other places I’ve been to in space I’ll stay ‘til I’m tired and learn what I must Then move on with joy to my home in grace My clothes are my body, it will fall of in dust It’s only borrowed, yet a great sacred trust Genetics of my parents, my soul, my own And I owe them greatly for their selfless loan It serves for the moment, and offers a ride To view my creation, I produced from inside I’ve passed through the curtain to appear once again On the stage of the theatre with all of my friends I’ll learn from them and they’ll learn from me Interchanging our roles, growing eternally I retain all the best features that I ever had With the help of my friends, to these I will add I’ll wash out my vices, my lusts and my sin And learn from the voice of my master within He hears all my wishes, provides all my needs He gives me the answers and governs my deeds He is my silent teacher, the voice of the soul Pushing me relentlessly toward my goal I’ve been here many times, each time playing the role That I most needed then, for the growth of my soul In the fourth generation I’ll appear once again With a plan for perfection and a lifetime to spend Seeking final completion of an eons long quest To reach the last level in the alchemical test Until finally perfect, no need to return No problems to solve, no lessons to learn Then I can rest, my journey complete Perfected and purified in my creators seat Then through other dimensions in steps not yet trod I will finally arrive to reunion with God I chose this experience and I wrote the play I chose the actors I perform with today It has been what I’ve made it, none other to blame I’m a noble and a traveler, in life’s wonderful game.
