Poems of Narad

Hidden God

I heard a hidden God within,
Whisper in solemnity
"The hour's late you must begin,
Undo your life's infirmity,

Reveal the truth of your descent,
Cast off the mould of mental plan
Awake to the divine event
Leap from man to superman."

In the intervening years
As aspiration's fire burned
I laid aside old dreams and fears
And though the Nemesis returned

And tried to slay I held Her smile,
Recalled Her eyes who held my soul
To the inner Self resile,
The body turn to its control.

Surely we shall conquer night
And set the spark of soul alight.
