Those who have gone
Through the gate of Death
Are gazing at me
They enliven me
They are with me
Their strength is
Streaming down on me.
My love will be with thee
In spirit realms
Let my thinking of thee
Bring warmth to your soul
So shall we still be united
I will thee
And thou with me
As thy soul is found
By my seeking soul.
Rudolf Steiner

My love will be with
Thee in spirit realms
Let thy soul be found
By my seeking soul
Let thy coldness be soothed
By my thinking of thy being
So shall we still be united
I with thee and thou with me
Rudolf Steiner
--------------------------------------------------------------
May my love be woven as an offering
Into the sheaths which now surround you
Cooling your heat
Warming your cold
Live upwards
Borne by love
Endowed with light
Rudolf Steiner

A Sophia Poem
Our Mother, thou who art in the darkness of the underworld,
May the memory of the holiness of thy name shine forth,
May the breath of the awakening of thy kingdom warm the hearts of all homeless wanderers,
May the resurrection of thy will enliven eternal faithfulness, even unto the depths of corporeal substance.
Receive this day the living remembrance of thee from human hearts,
Who implore thee to forgive the debt of forgetting thee,
And are ready to fight against the temptation in the world which has led thee to existence in the darkness,
That through the Deed of the Son, the immeasurable pain of the father to be stilled,
Through the freeing of all beings from the tragedy of thy withdrawal
For thine is the homeland, and the all bestowing greatness, and the all-merciful grace, for all and everything in the circle of all. Amen
