PALINGENESIS
Most benevolent is He,
And the rigid one;
An alert eye, motionless and
fixed
As the wings of the Himalayas.
He sees, He puts his childs in
work
He loves to see them work like
Men.
Most benevolent is He,
And the rigid one.
Oblivious were they, waddled in
murk and mud
Deluge came unknowingly and put
them
All in a world where no mortal
can reach
Till one holy soul came with a
barge
And save the chain of birth.
He loves to put them in tests,
And judge them unknowingly
Most benevolent is He,
And the rigid one.
In that afternoon of Golgatha
After the setting of the
Sun,
After the tears and wailing in
the cave
Rose He. From known to the
unknown,
Chequered visions, could
foresee
Through the ethereal lights of
glow
Amidst pain and joy, sweet
sweat
For men on earth.
Time will only say,
If fire might come, or as
an
Invisible foe, beyond the lens
of microscope
Hit one down and will make the
garden
Of life barren; withered smiles
Before the lips touch the
polished
Surface of the cup, till those
Visionary eyes rise again,
uplift
Those in pain, feeble in fear
And in a deep wait with joined
palms
For the Holy rise.
