The Parliament of Poets: An Epic Poem
Invocation, BOOK VII, The Parliament of Poets
“O Divine Light, that never stops shining,
beyond our atmosphere, Eternal Radiance,
though we may be oblivious of thee,
sustain us with thy rays of warmth and light,
sustenance unseen, heating our earthly realm,
with beams, beyond our ken, but not our need.
I ask thee once again to lift me up
like a drooping plant shut off from thee,
to carry further forth this epic song,
whose glory, if ever won, belongs to thee.
Thou seest my need and frailty.
Mercy and compassion I crave of thee,
not merely for myself but all humanity.
Let us not destroy ourselves. Help us find
a new vision that we may humbly serve,
restore the cosmic order now, a wider
harmony in tune with thee, your global realm…”

Invocation, BOOK III, The Parliament of Poets
“O Divine Essence and attending Muse,
give my tongue thy blessings that I may find
the words to describe the glories of thy Being,
help all mankind, threatened by ourselves,
turn again to peaceful contemplation,
prayer uplifting human vision to
the Great Mystery of the universe….”
