Active, inspired by her he speaks and moves;
His deeds obey her heart's unspoken demands;
O Sun-Word, thou shalt raise the earth-soul to Light
A mightier race shall inhabit the mortal's world.

Poems by R Y Deshpande

Night-Fall

This is the pool of loveliness

In the quiet of the dream-song;

This is the lotus of white flame

Burning inwardly, intense, strong.

This is the apple-tree orchard

Under the light-and-shade of sky;

And then this is the dragon-bird

As though it shall never wake, fly.

This is the grain of mortal fear

Horrid, thrown by the hand of Death;

This is the vale of no return:

Once trapped the soul would sink beneath.

This is the fishermen’s wharf, old,

In the network of the night’s tide, --

Indeed this is the miracle-world

By the unknown power being tried.

The Calm Blue

Ringing of the bells

From the dome of the sky;

Blue of their sound tells

The hush passing by.

Curving through the dreams

A tremulous ray;

All the stars, it seems,

Building the skyway.

Time is a wild horse

Of unspoken hue;

Through that bodied force

Gallops the calm Blue.
