This side of the veil,

No living human has ever seen,

No mere mortal has ever beheld,

The diamond stutted rainbow face,

Of the One, Iam

With streams of flame,

Flowing from the Axis,

His all-seeing eyes,

Can be felt like crashing waves,

Of silent sound, silent…

Like rushing ripples of watery light,

The Eternal Seed,

The everlasting bloom;

Of the One, Iam

The only flower, silent…

There is no softness of sleep here,

No mark of darkness or sweeping escape,

We spirits of the Eternal Seed, instead

Fly as the dandelion blooms fly, silent…

Weightless, floating and drifting,

Seizing the morning shade of timelessness,

A multitude of soaring souls,

A single speck of mercy;

No. You have not seen what I see.

Now and forever-

His magnificent being embraces me,

As a silvery swan

Embraces a goddess!
