Poems of Narad

Now the Peace

July 14, 2011

Now the peace descending slowly
Into this waiting heart of calm
Frees the mind from random thought
And holds the body still as stone.
It is the meditative hour
And silence like a bank of snow
Blankets me in tranquillity.
The energies of ages past
Are concentrated in the soul
And ego needs no more to build
A lasting image of itself
For now it knows that all is He
And She is all one reaches for.
Surrender comes and builds within
The offering and sacrifice
Of all past births experience.
The flame grows brighter by the days,
Her arms encircle and protect,
And in the depths the being yearns
For Her alone and kneels in prayer
And asks to serve in gratitude,
Inclines the head to touch Her Feet.
