THE REACH FOR IMMORTALITY, by                    
First Line: Wherever I wander, in mountain or mart
Last Line: Communion with god is the soul's vital need.
Subject(s): Eucharist; Immortality; Communion


Wherever I wander, in mountain or mart,
I find not the food for the hunger of heart;
The sigh of the wind and the birds as they sing
Arouse an unspeakable longing within.
A reaching for that beyond words to express,
A soul crying out in the dark wilderness;
Not poetry, art, music, culture or creed --
Communion with God is the soul's vital need.
