Saluting and invoking Sri Ganesh

* 2-56

Sometimes, Sri Ganesh, You dance across the forest As if drunk With the wine of Her Force, And wildly you reap and drag Her Riches and Mysteries – And in your dance Your Brother is Agni As Her Sons and Instruments, You are forcing the darkness To yield its treasures – And when your dance in The wilderness Has pulled the gold Out of the grime And reaches at last The verge of the world Awaiting, These ancient hoardings Have been transmuted Into Nourishing Harmony – And then, Sunlit you stand, Sun-filled and brimming With nectar, A vast music booming Her Rhythms weaving Abroad All over – Such is the creative poise Of the Shakti And together And in truth

Within you, Sri Ganesh. (15-04-09)
