Patti Masterman - Ab Aeterno

You shall remain ever in secret:
But in secret, all things will be given to you.

You shall be cloaked in anonymity and commonness:
And the lowly shall inherit the earth.

You shall die in complete obscurity:
Though most fulfilled, of all living and once-lived creatures.

So rue not your days,
Your spirit which is in secret
Knows your needs and desires
And everything comes, in time:
You were always here.
