The Fragrant Airs of Heaven

This poem was inspired by the opening lines of Max Ehrmann’s poem Desiderata. “Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.” Desiderata is Latin meaning ‘things desired’.

Idyllic loves’ creation is

imagined lilac groves. Air

enchanting havens of

scented flowers lifting to

the Harvest moon.

This world we may not enter

‘til this sweet and bitter

earthen road is ended.

Yet, we may store good efforts seed

do right as God’s creators

unbending onward to the Light.

Holding to heart loves first vow

that we unseasoned Spirit’s shall

by all intentions be

tried and tested and found well.

Do not forget amid the noise

such innocence as brought you here.

Times ravages are illusion now

look you to the candle’s constant flame

an eternal invocation to your name;

gateway to the Lilac groves

where the budding seeds of earthly toil

meet the fragrant airs of Heaven.
