Sri Ganesh
You appear today
In full, riotous dress,
The massive dancer
Whose sparing gestures
And postures
Are charged
With the wealth and treasure
Of ever renewed
Experience –
Comforting and auspicious
And knowing
You amble midst the people,
Unseizeable
And yet a balm
To each and
Every one…

Sri Ganesh
There is a kind of quiet
Singing exuberance
About you –
It flows with the vivid,
Rippling trail
Of your raiment,
Like a field of fresh blooms
Touched by the wind –
It is a gentle riot
Of woven harmonies,
Rollicking with chirping birds
And gurgling streams
While, silent on
Your chariot
You forge ahead,
The Shakti’s Bard
And
