189. The soul of satisfaction-light
He lived in the mind-fantasiesOf the greedy past.
He failed to see
The face of satisfaction-light.
He lived in the heart-longings
Of the hungry present.
He failed to see
The face of satisfaction-light.
His soul has brought him today
The message of the eternal now.
Soon he will claim
The face, the heart and the soul
Of satisfaction-light
As his own, very own.
