O love divine
Eternally thrusting forth
Sweet radiance in every
Dew sprinkled dawn
Lift our spirits above
The dark clouds of
Hate and adversity
Give us
The hand of a painter
The eye of an eagle
The strength of giants
And the compassion of saints
Make us your fruitful servants
So that we may forever bear
The torch of illumination
Discovering the best in all
Things and
Courageously renouncing
Evil and ugliness with
Truth beauty and
Elegance
Eternally thrusting forth
Sweet radiance in every
Dew sprinkled dawn
Lift our spirits above
The dark clouds of
Hate and adversity
Give us
The hand of a painter
The eye of an eagle
The strength of giants
And the compassion of saints
Make us your fruitful servants
So that we may forever bear
The torch of illumination
Discovering the best in all
Things and
Courageously renouncing
Evil and ugliness with
Truth beauty and
Elegance

YES, that's it, exactly!
He was a great man. We were published in Lucid Moon poetry magazine together and
I loved his style. He was the “Cannabis Poet,” and was an ex-pat and I made sure to look him up when I was in Amsterdam. We had a correspondance up until he died. Rest in peace Brother!!!
