Force Descending

11/26/99

A new elegance, voice of the enlightened One

To speak to the warring instincts of mental man

Has come. A love that stills the anger and the pain

Of separate self in an all-encompassing embrace,

A gesture of compassionate divinity

Upon our fractured laws, our hobbled rules

Applied with an agonizing sweetness' force

To the body of the human family,

That there might wake a fierce unquenchable thirst

For progress and the truth of hidden soul

To light the darkness of our blinded way.

A few have seen the sole omnipotent force

And touched the feet of the divine inhabitant

In wonder that in our age there should descend

The Grace supreme, Shakti of the Lord,

And with Her feet impress upon our clay

The miracle of cellular life transformed,

Of vibrant matter, new-matter, spirit-infused,

Invincible at work at the edge of our sight

Preparing the ground for the fast emerging light.
