In the hearts of men

Could grow again…

Sri Ganesh,
The love you hold
In your breast
Is a tranquil steady flame –
The protection pouring
Into your dance
Is a happy, embracing wave –
While the density
Of your massive body
Reminds one
That the work of harmony
Is here…
And yet, nimble are your steps,
Illumined
From within…

Sri Ganesh,
You seem to be borne
On a tide of golden fire,
A blossoming of the richest
Glowing embers
Sparkling and crackling
With the Lord’s
Sweetest smile –
As if the deep treasure
Was itself
Borne aloft and rising
To meet the souls
Who seek
Her Blessings –
And you have joined
Your hands in prayer,
