527. I died for light

I died for beauty,
But beauty came not.

I died for joy,
But joy came not.

I died for peace,
But peace came not.

I died for Light,
Light came,
Love followed,
Oneness blossomed.
Divinity’s Reality
And Reality’s Divinity
Are in everlasting embrace.
Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Light, part 11, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
