To the Heights-XLVI
Fire Red-the red wrath of Rudra
that burns the dead mass of earth, melts and consumes it
into tongues of leaping ardour
that cry out for Beatitudes beyond.
Sun Red at dying eve-the breath of a god
sweeping over the darkening horizon
the debris of a vanishing life and world,
scattering the last shreds of mortal ties
thatyet strive to linger.
Blood Red-the red sap of life
that anoints the far Spirit and sets it throbbing
and welling out into an earthly mould-
immortal's homage to flesh-throned mortality.
Wine Red-the quenchless thirst and passion,
even the lust of the body
wholly uplifted and transfused into the ethereal Bliss,
Bliss made here and now a sensuous rapture-
poignant and exhilarating and undecaying.
Ruby Red-the concentrated essence of the supreme substance
brought down into our lower sphere
and glowing and blushing with new-born love in a human frame.
November 28, 1936
