Sometimes Sri Ganesh
You travel far and wide,
The great Ambassador,
With a silent retinue
About you –
And thus you appear, attired in splendor,
A stole of sun-born riches trailing from
Your massive form filled
With knowing calm –
A neutral observer
And a channel
For the Force which can
Create and preserve and
Annihilate –
But the wealth of your garb
Is both a reminder and
A promise
Of ever perfectible
Harmony…
Aum Namo Ganapataye

Wherever you appear,
Sri Ganesh,
That is, wherever you are invoked,
Your compact figure becomes at once
A link and a bridge –
It joins the planes,
Like the pillar of Agni,
It is vested with
Their native powers,
Yet distinct
And free –
For it belongs only
To the Origin
And
The Shakti –
Today Sri Ganesh
