OUR PRAYER
BY G. G.
Pnnm is the soul's
enduring element,
More tangible than things that do appear.
It is the one desire by Heaven sent,
Enlightening us to make our heaven here.
Prayer is the thankfulness of ideal rest,
The willing work of unified desire,
Holding a hope forevermore expreet,
A faith absorbing God's unqusnchable tire.
Prayer is the spirit's ever-constant breath,
Inspiring naught but the immortal light.
Were shadows not in line of vision, death
Had never barred the spirit's
outward flight.
Prayer is the monitor of mortal mind,
Stilling the brain when Conscience steps alone.
lf Desire impregnant ne'er had death divined,
I will impregnable were on his throne.
A prayer there is to sheath "The Flaming Sword,"
Uncurve the line that must to Eden lead,
That, as a magnet
to the esoteric Word,
Eternally transmutes Life's
cosmic seed.
Aye, God's soul, formative principal, were vain,
If not illusion-chaos be redeemed,
And God doth pray within ua, making plain
That all comes true that wise ones ever dreamed.
