Sometimes, Sri Ganesh,
You dance across the forest
As if drunk
With the wine of Her Force,
And wildly you reap and drag
Her Riches and Mysteries –
And in your dance
Your Brother is Agni
And together
And in truth
As Her Sons and Instruments,
You are forcing the darkness
To yield its treasures –
And when your dance in
The wilderness
Has pulled the gold
Out of the grime
And reaches at last
The verge of the world
Awaiting,
These ancient hoardings
Have been transmuted
Into
Nourishing Harmony –
And then,
Sunlit you stand,
Sun-filled and brimming
With nectar,
A vast music booming
Her Rhythms weaving
Abroad
All over –
Such is the creative poise
Of the Shakti
Within you,
Sri Ganesh.
