The Psalm of Eternity

By Nolo Segundo

I sing to that I AM,

beyond time itself,

I sing to the Lord of All,

the Lord of All Worlds,

The Lord of Light,

The Father of my soul.

Answer me, O Lord—

this burden of sleep

lies heavy—I know

I am dreaming, a long

long dream, but I can

not rouse my soul…

It sleeps and sleeps

and I can but wait

and wait and wait…
