592. A’aru

I long for the fields of A’aru.

The sun-soaked reeds of gold

The ageless mirth of eternity,

Where there’s no young or old.

Where the hallowed sun forever shines,

Its light everlasting.

I run toward distant outstretched arms,

As my soul brightly sings,

And my whole being rejoices and cries:

“Where you go. I will come.

I am home. I am finally home,

In the arms of Atum”.

590. Children of Light, Take Heed!

O’ Children of Light, take heed!

The darkness seeks to consume you,

With smiles of self-satisfaction it breeds,

And plants the seeds,

Of its own destruction.

O’ Children of Light, beware!

Bodies are made of heavy earth,

Which drags all men down and into despair;

So be aware,

You are not of the Earth!

O’ Children of Light, watch out!

You are light destined for the stars.

So, in darkness, do not stumble about.

You should not doubt,

Your divine radiance!

O’ Children of Light, Hear! Hear!

Those who pursue your destruction,

Act from carnal bewilderment and fear.

Lo’, Death’s not here!

Seek the Light! Seek the Light!

O’ Children of Light, stand strong!

When in darkness, shine brighter still.

The war between Light and darkness is long.

Shine strong! Shine strong!

For in time Light will win,…

Yes, in the end,…in the end,…

Light will win!
