PERFECT PATTERN, by                    
First Line: How strange the ways of life react on man
Last Line: And never longs to hear a newer call?


How strange the ways of life react on man,
That out of thousands one is set apart
To cool a fevered brow and darkness span
Until the dawn arrives to brave his heart.
Though passion's cry has waned it does not spurn.
Whoever comes to stir the ashen fire
A certain warmth reflected will discern,
But there is no one left who can acquire.
It is the way of life, of Nature's scheme,
That man should seek a chosen one and find,
A perfect pattern yields to godly dream
Of Oneness, healing rest and quiet mind.
Can that be why my love for you is all,
And never longs to hear a newer call?
