STRAY BIRDS
242
This life is the crossing of a sea, where we meet in the same narrow ship.
In death we reach the shore and go to our different worlds.
243
The stream of truth flows through its channels of mistakes.
244
My heart is homesick to-day for the one sweet hour across the sea of time.
245
The bird-song is the echo of the morning light back from the earth.
