To Fr. Teilhard de Chardin



Hail glorious Father Teilhard de Chardin!

Beacon and champion of all prophesy,

Your vision, so inspired will prevail                                                        That upwards rises corporeity.

                                  

Your so prophetic vision,- vast in scope-

Wields bigger sway than prophesies of doom,

To him belongs the world that extends hope

And  can stare down dread prophesies of gloom.



All things that rise, they likewise must converge

And all creation groans in  throes of birth.

But like a river let the Spirit surge

To nourish inert matter in its dearth.



The Christ will speak to every galaxy,

And as the Cosmic Logos penetrate,-

Reveal the ultimate sacrality,-

When nature too will bow and  contemplate



Our proud agnostic scientists, - they too,-

Admit they understand for the first time

Faith’s tenets, as interpreted by you

A  vision so exalted and sublime!.



Oh Father, you say human history

Is but as negligible episode

Compared to planetary life, or galaxy

Evolving fast, but  hankering for God.



That all creation cannot help but strive

To lift up in a mass the human tide,  

To unified exalted spirit life,

That by this confluence beatified

Will draw into OMEGA’s blessed light
