Peace for the Soul

A common space for harmonic peacemakers

.
at this time of my parting
wish me good luck, my friends

when i go from here
let this be my parting word:
that what i have seen is unsurpassable.

i have tasted the hidden honey
from the flowers that bloom in the forest of Light
thus i am blessed.

let this be my parting word.

in this playhouse of infinite forms
i have had my play, and here
i have caught sight of that which is formless
that which is endless.

Now, when playtime is over
what is this sudden sight that has come upon me?
the world, with eyes bent
stands in awe with all its silent stars.

and on the day when death came to my door
what did i offer to him?
Oh! i set before my guest the full vessel of my life:
i did not let him go with empty hands.

all the sweet vintage of my autumn days and summer nights
all the earnings and gleanings of my busy life
did i place before him at the close of my days
when death came to my door.

So, at this time of my parting
wish me good luck my friends.
the sky is flushed with the dawn,
and my path lies beautiful...
