SOUL WHISPERS, by                    
First Line: How shall I seek to know you
Last Line: And the centuries' race be done.
Subject(s): Memory; Old Age; Past


How shall I seek to know you,
Ghosts of my past unknown?
When shall my fingers touch you?
When shall you take me home?

There is an ancient valley,
Peopled with age-old trees,
There you are ever waiting,
You are my thousand "me's."

Sometime I must have known you,
Sometime I must have seen
Your misty forms before me,
Dim through a moonlit screen.

Dream nights with star-light drifting
Down through the purple haze,
I seem to hear you chanting
Deeds of my former days.

And when an earth has faded,
And when the light is won,
Someday the valley will hold me
And the centuries' race be done.
