RISHI


He brought the calm of a gigantic sleep :
Earth's mind-a flicker gathering sudden gold-
Merged with unknowable vistas to come back
A fire whose tongue had tasted paradise. ...

 

A plumbless music rolled from his far mouth :
Waves of primeval secrecy broke white
Along the heart's shores, a rumour of deathless love
Afloat like a vast moon upon the deep.
