363. THE WINGS OF FRIENDSHIP

The wings of earth-friendship
Fly very fast,
  Sooner than at once.
We see them
  But
They fly beyond, far beyond our ken.

The wings of Heaven comradeship
Slowly,
  steadily,
    unerringly fly
  And
We can follow them easily
To the shores of Infinity’s
Peace,
  Light
  and
    Delight.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, New York, 1975
