Poems of Peace/Practice and Perception
PRACTICE AND PERCEPTION
Questioning Life and Destiny and Truth,
I sought the dark and labyrinthine Sphinx,
Who spake to me this strange and wondrous thing:—
“Concealment only lies in blinded eyes,
And God alone can see the Form of God.”
I sought to solve this hidden mystery
Vainly by paths of blindness and of pain,
But when I found the Way of Love and Peace,
Concealment ceased, and I was blind no more:
Then saw I God e’en with the eyes of God.
