    Soul, hear me

    Soul, hear me,
    I need you,
    Take me from here.

    Soul, I have known you,
    Seen your infinite light,
    believed I could make it clear to all.

    Why do some speak against you?
    Speak against the sacred divine,
    profane the fount of life?

    It is nothing, it is nothing -
    It is merely a reflection of light.
    Your infinite peace remains.

    Soul, I know you today,
    My whole being affirms this!
    The whole universe affirms this!

    This is your way, you become all of us,
    And engage in this vision, this play -
    But the play and the players are you.

    You are a rushing stream, infinite -
    We seem to perceive the laws of the universe, but
    My self is awareness, my source is you.

    Soul, hear me,
    In the silence - the rushing is ceased -
    Your face appears.
    You are all people, all people are you.

    the "rushing stream" image is beautiful, giving the whole poem a nice flow.

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
