Poems By Arjava

[Based on the occult teaching about the Elements, that Air reconciles the disharmony between Fire and Water —just as, physically, vapour is engendered by the contact of heat with moisture.]

NIGHT with mustered star-flares harries

Moisture and dark :

Lo, lightless earth with sun-flame marries

When bids the lark.

Night her load of star-tears carried—

A sacrificial dew.

Was not silver mist with the bright gold married

When the dawn-winds blew ?

Did the thrusts of air the star-spears parry

Spring from Night's lip ?

O let not Morning's whiteness tarry—

Sail-bright ship.
