Awaiting the Voice

After a measureless moment of the soul
Again returning to these surface fields
Out of the timeless depths where he had sunk,
He heard once more the slow tread of the hours.

All once perceived and lived was far away;
Himself was to himself his only scene.

Above the Witness and his universe
He stood in a realm of boundless silences
Awaiting the Voice that spoke and built the worlds.

[Savitri: Book Two Canto 15]
