My Fixed Star by Puran Singh from The Book: The Temple Tulips
LOVE passes me by.
I travel in search under the stars,
but ever find myself again where I started;
I look at the stars and think again of His Love-my fixed star.
I ride on tides, I go forward,
but I find the waters have all ebbed away, sands flow under my feet;
I strain my eyes to the blue waters and think again of His Love-my fixed Star.
I go treasuring the rainbow wings of the flowerlike flies,
and I find the dead, autumn leaves, red and yellow, in my hands at the last,
Looking at destiny and the many fates,
I think again of His Love-my fixed star.
