Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Above white earth a single, single
Star burns
And draws one along a path of ether
To itself — there.

Oh, why is it so? In one steady gaze
All wonders dwell,
The mysterious sea of all life,
And the heavens.

That gaze is so close and so clear —
Behold it,
You, too, will be measureless and sublime —
Master of all.
