And at a slow pace
You ride your devoted mount
Across the nearby planes,
Aware of the disastrous echo
Of the universal
Disorder
In Matter,
And attentive,
Through the reverberated din,
To the scattered notes
Of trust and faith
And integrity –
And sometimes you pause
Where the offering
Is strong enough
To be gathered
And channeled
And to evoke the Blessings
By which you become
Again
The auspicious guide,
The Brother who leads
To the true Riches –
In these moments the world
Is aligned
And the Mother
Smiles…

Sri Ganesh,
You are Her Knight of Joy
And you are Her Banner –
You are the Sign
Of Her
Inexhaustible Wealth
Which must be regained
And retrieved
From the thieves that have
Misused the force
Of Her Will –
And you soldier on,
