My Law .......... Maori Poem
The Sun may be clouded, yet even the sun
will sweep on its course till the cycle be done
and when into chaos the system is hurled
again shell the builder re-shape the New World
Your path may be clouded, uncertain your goal
move on, for your orbit is fixed to your soul
and though it may lead to the darkness of night
the moon of the builder shall give it new light
you were, you will be, know this while you are
your spirit has travelled both long and afar
it comes from the Source, to the Source it returns
the spark that was lighted eternally burns
It's slept in the Crystal, it leapt in the wave
it roamed in the forest, it rose from the grave
it took on strange garbs, from aeons of years
and now in the Soul of your self it appears
From body to body your spirit moves on
it seems a new form, when the old one has gone
and the form that it finds, in the fabric you wrought
on the Loom of the mind, from the threads of your thoughts
As dew is drawn upwards, in rain to descend
your thoughts drift away, and in destiny blend
you can never escaped them, for petty or great
or evil, or noble, they fashion your fate
Somewhere on some planet, sometime and somehow
your thoughts will reflect your thoughts of the NOW
my law is unerring, no blood can atone
the structure of you build, you will live in alone in
From cycle to cycle, through time and through space
your lives with your longing will ever keep pace
and all that you are for and all you desire
must come at your bidding, as flame out of fire
Once list to that voice and all tumult is done
your life is the life of the Infinite One
in the hurrying race you are conscious of pause
with love for the purpose and love on the cause
You are your own Devil, you are your own God
you fashioned the path your own footsteps have trod
and no one can save you from error or sin
until you have looked at the Spirit within.
