Analysis of Cycles



Along the roads, wide or less travelled,
the wheel of motion falters not.
It's not a wheel of destiny or fate--
Infinity holds not such notion.
Eternal being-- now-- is real and sublime,
and when the Spirit's radiance illumines mind,
ear tunes to higher spheres
to catch the trumpet sound--
let there be light!
