Poems of Narad

Auroville, Beloved

Groping through night with the flickering lamp of mind
Too puny for the monumental task
To rise beyond our elemental kind,
We seldom see the person for the mask.

We seek without for the harmony hid within
Impose a collective commonality
On souls descended here, for ages kin,
Unknown, unguessed, yet married secretly.

To open once a window on the soul
And bow in recognition of the One,
Ever the dawn before us as the goal
Ever the love as a burning inner sun.

Auroville, cauldron and crucible of fire
Forge of the godhead's plenary desire.
