3   POONA DARSHAN - I June, 1969

 

 

 

The sky burns to an intenser blue;  
a red bloom spirals  
through an evening's heat:  
this world belongs to the crows.  
who hang on the wind.  
Below,
 
the whir of electric crickets  
and the bleating  
of a myriad rubber horns.  

 

 

 

4   POONA DARSHAN - II June, 1969
Well, my Master, we come to this:
I look at a picture. who hoped for a kiss.
In the soul's ambitions we sometimes miss:
I leave with Knowledge, who came for Bliss.
 
 

 

 

 

 

5   ON THE DEATH OF AVATAR MEHER BABA
who died 31 January 1969

 

Great God in human guise
drawing by Rosalie Dunphy
Before our human eyes
Took off his fleshly cloak
And played his final joke.
No miracle to distract
Us from the essential fact:
He died of natural cause.
Subject to mortal laws,
He showed a way to God
Within the world's facade.
