Prayer for His Intercession    Nov. 1969 Receive me now, I freely come, Let seals be shattered, dross refined Till nothing stands a bar to Thee And thy transforming Will in me, And humbly let me swiftly find The way to thy Elysium.

A Child's Song of Auroville.htm A Child's Song of Auroville Come with me where we children play At Auro-beach in the sun-strewn day, Gathering shells to hear the roar Of oceans that have gone before. Now in the hour approaching night The Banyan glows a green-gold sight And "Peace" is filled with quiet breast As the flowers follow the sun to rest.

Grace Now a stillness enters in And aspiration leaps. A subtle phase preparing all While the outer being sleeps. A hundred thousand lives I've lead Experience of soul, Awaiting the moment of Thy Feet, To view Thy golden aureole. A blessing sign of Thy Grace endures. For what is meaningless Or vile when all is seen as Thee And all is felt as Thy caress? And what these eyes cannot disclose, This soul, O Lord, undying knows.

The Supreme's Benediction.htm The Supreme's Benediction Though his past he must assiduously unwind The Mother to his inner call inclined, Loosened the bonds and in his striving breast; Granted the seeker momentary rest. In that solemn hush from the endless rush Released he found the path his soul must climb And knew the fire that welcomed him Ablaze on the welcoming shores of time. He heard a music's pure intrinsic strain Enter him again and yet again, A wondrous strophe of unimagined bl

Blossoming of Auroville      1960's And now upon this hard unyielding land Come motived from the greater fields of joy Flowers of unearthly beauty stand Blooming free beneath His silent hand.

Prayer of the Soul Whole legacies of self I've lived and still I know the plundered heart, the broken will, The body beneath the blows of tyranny. As the ocean so this boundless love, Constant feels the ecstasy above, All things embrace that are but points in Thee. Breathe still in me the strength to be new-born, Though all my mornings wake to seem forlorn; Implant in the heart the Word that sets me free. Fill the crevice of my life with fire Churn the roiling depths to lift me higher. Make deep my joy to sing alone of Thee.

TWO POEMS 1. Fragments of a plan concealed from Mind Whose glimpses see a part as whole and sum, Come wandering through groves of thought in silent Rays as sunlight sheds through quivering leaves Its miracle of fire-laugh and the lightning Of its pure and fearless self-sustaining Majesty of truth. 2. In a limbo pregnant with the seed of soul I wait to hear Thy silent steps. A symbiosis I of lofty aims And dull desires downward dragging, Each at war within this house of breath. Calm and chaos, surge and silence Battle on in bitter clash A

Call for the Divine Love The winds of change confound As seeds of doubt abound ̶ Round me humanity's cry Troubles an uncertain sky Piercing the night's profound. All in its order is here Night carries day on its bier Fear camps on the shoulders of reason Obscurity has come into season, Yet dawn brings the golden one near. Pace softly then slow mind As the seeker seeks to find Peace in his brothers, suffusing Through passion and tragedy musing-- Her love that heals mankind.

Divine Harmonies Chords that tuned my soul from birth Vibrant, ethereal, forged in fire Sound upon the waves of earth I am but strings on God's great lyre.

Voice of the Divine Musician His joy ran infinite, boundless, deep, Playing with Light as a child's new toy, In vision and miracle musiced with sound And flew in the heavens of thought's solitude. Endlessly frolicking in rapturous waves On borders of worlds as yet hardly glimpsed, Rhythms of earth-life throbbed in his feet, But silence eluded, a prayer long-delayed. A yearning vague, dispersed as in dream His life he aspired for truth to found, For peace intoned, on a soil supreme Symphonic in God's solitude.
