with Sri Ganesh

A lift and a boost, No matter the time or the place –

… I don’t know what all this is about… Is it, Sri Ganesh, a laying of obstacles…? To what end?

I know nothing…

And still, you are beautiful, Sri Ganesh, Albeit a little austere today, With simple garlands of quiet fire And measured bursts of light, A seated yogin, Composed, calm, serene…
