The following poem is from the book El Proceso de Samael Aun Weor by Horus Gomez Garro, son of Samael Aun Weor and Litelantes. This book was transcribed from the diaries of Hypatia, sister of Horus.
This book describes Samael’s final sickness, his last days surrounded by family, and his death processes. When his death was announced on December 24, 1977 people came from all over Mexico to pay their respects.
This poem was written by the president of the Poet’s Association of Mexico in December 1977:
Samael
Te encontré,
y compartiste la luz que te fue dada,
te vi,
y adiviné el amor
que te llenaba;
hablaste
a mi corazón
con luz de fuego
y la paz
se hizo en mí;
reconocí en tu faz
al niño—hombre
que el camino señalaba; te vas en apariencia pues trasmutas en amor paz y presencia
del Creador,
tu triste ausencia.
Pero eres y serás
en tu enseñanza
y en cada ser
que te sigue como yo, humildemente, persiguiendo el Sol
de tu existencia.
[rough translation]:
Samael
I found you,
and you shared the light that was given to you,
I saw you,
and I imagined love
that filled you;
you spoke
to my heart
with firelight
and the peace
It was done in me;
I recognized in your face
to the child-man
that the road pointed; you are going in appearance then transmutes in love peace and presence
of the Creator,
your sad absence
But you are and will be
in your teaching
and in every being
who follows you like me, humbly, chasing the Sun
of your existence.
