Written at the Taj Mahal 1983
One hundred words for God I know
And one of these
I call myself
And I tell Thee
- dearest God -
I walk ever closer
toward Thee,
full of the goodness
that is me.
And if, in time
I ever walk away from Thee,
it is only to see Thee
greater and more fully.
And if the world should say
that Thou art vanity and sadness,
and a chasing after wind;
then I shall answer,
"Yes, and all that is good besides."
