Syed Mehdi Imam's Kundalini (Lightning) (Click for RY Deshpande's & Sri Aurobindo's comments.)

(Awakening of the Kundalini, the subtle Life-Force, written in the dactylic-spondee tetrametre)

I am the blue fork shot from the cloud-clap…
Out of a rift I sprung into light.
Red with the anger of storm-winds I grew
A hiss of the zigzag veins of the sky-fire.
I shone as a star on the brow of the night,
Quenched as a beam in the eye of the sun-god.
’ware of me, transient mood of the high Lord…
Birth is my death. Death is my birth.
I am the voice of the vault rumbling with light.
