Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

The shore – Because you are the mad king, The king – Her Son –

Who will not be Circumscribed By any force Not directly Hers, You who are Hers Entirely… Aum (05-06-09)

* 4-8

Your arms are open to all, Sri Ganesh,

You are the king Of the hearts – From your very form Flows the nectar Of the heart, Golden fruit of Light and fire And delight, Breaking through all The divides, Ignoring all that

Confines and Separates –

You are the king too Of a rag-tag assembly Of vagrants and wanderers And all, great and lowly, Lauded and cursed, Are ready and willing To come to you And so relieved When they do… As, like petals of snow, Light cascades So finely wrought To flow and embrace
