with Sri Ganesh

You come out of the forest To reach and to bless -

Your language is imperious, For it is Universal, As the profound beauty That surrounds you Rises From the soul of the earth – You come out To the edge of the woods, A pilgrim and an emperor Holding the scepter of life And the weapons Of peace –

Men are faced with the images And the experience Of destruction, As long as they cling To their own Illusions…

Aum.

Your puja is commanding Today, Sri Ganesh =
