Fourth Prince of Serendip

All the riches of the Kingdom are mine

               The embroidered cloths,

               The silver chalice,

               The golden earrings

               The brocaded silks and satins.

 

               The shredded veil of the Temple that time has rent.

               There are no manacles in my mind

               The fetters have fallen away

               The chains are dust

               The contract voided, my psyche set free.

               Terror has become awe.

               I am no longer an artist without a medium

               Or a scientist with no discipline.

               The two of me are one

               In wedded bliss.

               And I have found my Princess!
