The Winds of Wonder

God of Light

God of light sleeping in a mystery-flame,

Gold of love drawn into an inward rapture,

All heaven folded in a sapphire repose,

Trance ineffable of a splendoured silence…

His the eagle-poise of superconscient peace,

His the calm of a wide englobing halo…

Lord of the creative, the conquering force,

Smile of the Supreme and the winning strength,

Blaze noon-intense of the godhead’s brilliant triumph…

His the penance claiming divinity for man,

His the Destiny’s labour with earth’s heavy load,

His the will bringing to soul the Oversoul…

A brow of gleaming vision’s mystic expanse,

Breast a diamond-cup of infinity’s bliss,

Sun-feet strolling on eternity’s luminous ways,

Only a blue-gold Elysian hue of the High…

A Truth-resplendence with tranquil lotus-name,

King and Poet of the original Word!
