Nishagandhi

A rock looms out of my gloom
a distant sound of AUM becomes
louder and louder

A plunging gorge opens as a pearl
- one step and we will reach eternity
in a second

Hold on the mighty one
hold on to your mother's skirt

You stumble accross planes
leaving a bloody trail behind you

Hold on the mighty one
and in time
before your death
you might discover
the cave
carved
from tears
by the holy men
from all over the world
night-after-night
day-after-day
in prayer
