HOWARD BANOW ‘ABHAY'
Homage to the Perfect One
Glad am I to have known your name You who became that immortal flame
while yet encased in form. Blest am I to have found this path
of those who turn within, And a teacher of light to be my guide
beyond what I might have been.
Fortunate beyond all measure To have come upon this dawn
an omniscient soul this teaching of love
the teacher of my heart. My friends will know whose praise I sing, Yet this song is meant for every Way. For it's not, in the end, the dawn we cherish, But the fullness, completion, the Day.
i Lord Mahavira, but in homage to his universal message I chose to keep his name
out of it and his Flame in it, hopefully.
