Analysis of Whom Are You Seeking?



The day has come,
day to witness with the rising sun--
divine purposes fulfilled.
May the heart be still,
it knows that steadfast
 is the Spirit that upholds and heals.
My weariness and earth-born will
stumble, fall,
then melt before the stone
that rolled away in early morn
on a Spring day of years gone,
when earth and heaven shook,
and cowards fled, forsook,
but woman wept and stood
before a glorious sight--
to be the first to know
-- and bathe--
in Life's eternal flow.
