ALREADY THERE

Pearl Strachan Hurd

When we look from a star
at where we now are,
and accept the fact
that nothing can act
unsparked by Mind;
when we leave behind
limiting elevation,
of dense plantation,
of wall and spire;
when we let the fire
or Truth consume
our night, and illume
new day, out log will show
there was nowhere to go,
for we, undeceived,
shall have perceived
no need to roam
to or from home.
The son and heir
already there!

Pearl Strachan Hurd
