Arjava [J. A. Chadwick]

                    

 

        RED LOTUS
 (Sri Aurobindo's Consciousness)

 


That living Lotus, petal by petal unfolding,
                    Which through the mists of this avidya looms,
Vicegerent of the Sun, nowise withholding
                    The light we lack in Maya's nether glooms.


When spirit-sense to the last high peak gyring
                    Finds all Thy mountain-bud aflame with rose-
Touched by the eager hues of Dawn's aspiring-
                    What raptured Silence watches Thee unclose !

Then the vast span of those Truth-petals reaching
                     To the utmost arc of Being's finitude
With vibrant answer to dark's wan beseeching
Transforms a world, from Thy grave beauty hued.


O puissant heart amidst whose raptured shrining
                    A nameless Love is garbed in Name's disguise,
Last metronome to mortal things assigning
                    A fadeless rhythm wrung from Dawn's echoing skies.
