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.
