Nataraj

I looked into the young girl's eyes

And saw God stripped of His disguise,

At once she knew that I had found

The path of light, the hallowed ground.

She smiled until my mind was stilled

My heart so wide with joy fulfilled

To see the One I knew before,

The dancer through the open door

Behind whose steps the aeons fly

Through galaxy and galaxy

And all our lives are but His dance

Eternity His long romance.
