Human

HUMAN 
  

Human,
A wondering being 
He is,
Wandering along destiny’s  
Road,
Persistently in search:
Of purpose
Of meaning 
Of realization,
That
Between the beginning 
And 
The end of his perpetual trip 
Is to be found,
A trip, 
That as starting point has
The appalling brute 
And 
As its finishing line 
The 
Glorious divine!

Thank you, my dear friend! Your words mean a lot to me, since they are uttered by a master of the English language!
