AVATARA

In the shimmer and the shade
Thoughts are woven, Love is made;
Hari Ananda, Hari Om,
Om Mani Padme Hum.

- - -Avatara, Earthborn Divine,
- - -Sings in silence songs of Time;
- - -Eye of the morning, glance of the wind,
- - -Words of wonder, wavering.

*
In the shimmer and the shade
Thoughts are woven, worlds are made;
Hari Ananda, Hari Om;
Om Mani Padme Hum.

- - -Sighing, sighing, damask night;
- - -Falling, falling, tears of Light;
- - -High on the crescent Earth, gowned with gold,
- - -Sweet the sorrow of her soul.

*
In the shimmer and the shade
Thoughts are woven, lives are made;
Hari Ananda, Hari Om,
Om Mani Padme Hum.

- - -Crystal Temple of the Moon,
- - -Sparkling water, sapphire lagoon;
- - -Atom and mountain, sandgrain and star -
- - Cosmic Mantra - all things that are.

*
In the shimmer and the shade
Thoughts are woven, Destiny made;
Hari Ananda, Hari Om,
Om Mani Padme Hum,
Om Mani Padme Hum,
Om Mani Padme Hum.........
