Reflections in the Master's Eyes | Poem by Celia Elliott

REFLECTIONS IN THE MASTER’S EYES …

O Master
In Thy Twinkling Eyes,
I glimpse a Shining Star… of Paradise,
Whose Light unseen, to mortals such as I
Shines forth it’s Sacred Glow… to mystify;
To melt this human heart of mine
And by GOD’s Grace
To help me free the chains that bind.

O Master
In Thy Gentle Eyes,
I see a mirror of my Soul,
Reflections… shadows of the past
Thy Grace is freeing me at last
Of all the doubts and fears,
Those haunting spectres of the years
That by Thy Hand… are seen for what they are,
But vaporous mists upon The Sands of Time…
Dissolved by dawning Light
And Truth Sublime.

O Master
With Thy Loving Tender Eyes,
That warm and stir devotion in my Soul,
Whose Love…
This human Temple… sanctifies,
Whose Guiding Light
Doth make me whole.
How sweet these precious Moments,
And how rare!
To feel Thy Loving Presence… everywhere
I Lord… I humbly pray
That one day soon… all men shall see,
And feel the gentle warmth
That softly flows
From such as Thee.

O Master,
Although… Thine Eyes I cannot see
And ‘tho Thy Form is hid from view,
My inner heart flies out with Love… to Thee.
My Cup it overflows … with ‘Heavenly Dew’
And in my dreams I quietly kneel…
Before Thy Feet,
With child-like trust…
I place my hands in THINE
And know and feel this Mighty Truth,
O Master of My heart…
Thou Art…
INDEED DIVINE…
