Ancient One Poem by Joseph Palmateer

I Look To You through blinding light,
as you hide Thy golden Crown,
Thy Reaching Touch of endless might,
now Alleviates The Swollen ground.

Your Significance pours into this misty haze,
since the dawn of the Ancient Days,
before the Great Conscious came,
that Took the Place of smoke and flame.

Endowed to us thee Radiant Sight,
Sending warmth through Shadows Flight,
Life and death You Bring on way,
Igniting Birth then leaving decay.

Long the Awakening greatly immersed,
Then Comes the time when all is reversed,
The cooling flutter through Shadows Veil,
comforts the Dreary from thy blazing Trail.

Yet, Come again oh Ancient One,
Bring Back the warmth That Shadow has Undone,
For on You it is - that we all depend,
that before the new awakening you Shall Ascend.
