19. Never to meet again

Never to meet again:
    My yesterday's face,
    My backward race,
Never to meet again.

Never to meet again:
    Swift fear the thief,
    Wild doubt the chief,
Never to meet again.

Never to meet again:
    The clasp of death
    And Satan's breath,
Never to meet again.

Never to meet again:
    Chinmoy the failure,
    Ignorance pure,
Never to meet again.
Sri Chinmoy, My Flute, Sri Chinmoy Lighthouse, New York, 1972
