Kailash
on first approach
sight
a palpable
sonic boom
passed through
the entirety
of my being
echoing on
still
in the emptiness
of my heart
dakinis dance now
playfully
on the corpse
of all that i thought
i was
light emanating
from the pulpy remains
of a narrative
that truly never
knew
a
root
returning to the
source
of that and every
dream
where
self aware
that light
issues forth
as an offering
of sustenance
to all
who might encounter
emaho!!
wonderful
to be
as we are
light lapping
waves
of manorasovar
a chill to the bone
of a dawning
compassion
that shall know
no end
