Active,
inspired by her he speaks and moves;
His deeds obey her heart's unspoken demands; O Sun-Word, thou shalt raise the earth-soul to Light A mightier race shall inhabit the mortal's world. |

Poems by R Y Deshpande
Glimmers
the chandelier-world of the gods, --
A splendour
drawn from the womb of the Vast,
Or like
a million flames bursting from the sun
A ruby-glow
thrown in each bud-passion of life.
It bears
no shadow but under its wings brood
Our thoughts,
and awake here our early dawns:
Over
this peak towards which climb our sights
Summits
of the Eternal lean into Time.
Here
enters the primal ray into Ignorance,
A wave
that brings to us tidings of the far sea,
A storm-speed
that takes the sky to Infinity.
Denizens
of this world are our guardian-friends
Who
drink honey-wine of the Earth’s sacrifice, --
In their
felicity expands her bosom
As though
the Unborn found his beloved.
Gold of love drawn into an
inward rapture,
All heaven folded in a sapphire
repose,
Trance ineffable of a splendoured
silence...
His the eagle-poise of superconscient
peace,
His the calm of a wide englobing
halo...
Lord of the creative, the conquering
force,
Smile of the Supreme and the
winning strength,
Blaze
noon-intense of the godhead’s
brilliant triumph...
His the penance claiming divinity
for man,
His
the destiny’s labour with
earth’s heavy load,
His the will bringing to soul
the Oversoul...
A
brow of gleaming vision’s
mystic expanse,
Breast
a diamond-cup of infinity’s
bliss,
Sun-feet
strolling on eternity’s
luminous ways,
Only a blue-gold Elysian hue
of the High...
A Truth-resplendence in tranquil
lotus-name,
King and Poet of the supramental
Word!
