21 Sanatan3
(The Absolute)
Our hopes that fail
Are but truths that set
To illumine other spirits on their pathway;
As our joys that come true
Are their far-off dreams,
That through the cadence of our life
Ring out their pent-up tunes.
Whatever dies—needs must live,
Whatever breathes doth die too;
But above death and life
Shines that High Light
Where all find rest,
Yet endlessly move.
Notes
3 The word absolute is the synonym for the Sanskrit word Sanatan, meaning Eternal and Immutable Truth.
