That express and convey
Your care and the myriad
Processes
Of
Creation –
And your attendants,
In their finery,
Ride alongside,
Proclaiming to all
The Sacred Integrity =
For you know well,
Sri Ganesh,
How the world is hostage
To destructive ignorance
And self-serving arrogance –
And so you ride your mount,
Lovely and free
And
Gentle...
Who can understand...?

Deep in the Cave
You sit,
Sri Ganesh,
Like a flame,
A generous Mystery –
And among your gifts
As one approaches
Are courage and endurance,
The purity of perseverance
And the joy born of trust –
And yet you are
Deep in the cave,
For the world is not ready
To accept
Those gifts of yours,
Nor to surrender
To the truth of harmony –
To see you thus,
