My Lord, 

Draw aside these veils I have made Interwoven and fashioned with the many fragments of my fears. 

That I might glimpse Your Ancient Form upon the inner road of mine. 

Where Wisdom reigns and Silence guards the Way to heavens gate. 

May my heartbeats walk with a measured step. 

May I see with Inner Eye. 

Those gleaming forms of radiant Light upon this Holy Way. 

And perhaps at Journeys end when I turn to look upon the bitter and the sweet. 

No vain regret will dim my eyes or diffuse the Light, upon this my own Damascus Way. 

Amen
