12. A symbol of promise

```

Every life is a rich

Storehouse

Of experience.

I dare declare:

We live not,

NOT

In an epoch of

Chaotic decay.

I plumb the depths

Of light

At each hush-gap.

Every life

Is a symbol of

Promise,

Streaming forth from a realm

Where

No one is a stranger, unwanted

None,

Where Love blossoms for the One

And Truth for the many.
