It seems we, as humans
Began in a dream.
We sprung from a purposeful
Plan in the Infinite Mind,
Of which, in that timeless scheme
We were of self-same kind.



Starting from Dynamic Life
Which we designate 'God',
We were called, became form
And settled to live on earth
To experience nodding
Aquaintance with death, from birth
.


Originally we, it seems,
Were with One who is Love.
We were part of that One,
Who, through love multiplied
Self into myriads, above
Whom He is sanctified.



We are born with a spark
From the same loving Life
Who ignited us all
With the spirit of good.
Eternally lit, we might
Now hope to emulate God.



We exit from here. Once more
We and our Maker are one.
Enlightened in giving.
We re-enter His dream
Our commision is done
On earth, so it seems.
