The Meeting

In a cafe in St. Petersburg
Two seekers of the truth
One a master, one a pupil
Met for the first time

The master spoke of hidden things
Of laws and forces and worlds
Of the sleep of man and the way to wake
Of the work and the aim

The pupil listened with rapt attention
He sensed a ray of light
He felt a call to follow the master
To learn and to serve

They parted with a promise
To meet again and soon
They started a journey together
That changed their lives and ours
