Cave of the Heart; Abode of Mahadeva; Enemy of the Great and Abominable Church

Women and Gold!

Name and fame!

Heavy intoxications!

Lies! Lies!

Lies so magnetic its hard to turn away -

But desires are never satisfied - we continue to ingest them!

Only giving birth to more desires! Want of more lies!

How tumultuous, how exhausting

The storm of thoughts of want in this sea!

The cracking thunder

Always screaming to our senses,

The overwhelming waves

Tossing ideas about in our heads:

Women and Gold! Women and Gold!

The Heart craves naught.

Release the clutch of material -even mystical- aspirations

And live in the cave of the Heart;

Her breath sets you free.

Her dance lightens your step.

Aum namah Kaliya,

Aum Kali Ma, Aum Kali Ma

Aum namah Shivaya.

Aum Shiv, Aum Shiv,

Aum Namah Kaliya,

Aum Kali Ma, Aum Kali.

AUM... Aum... aum...

Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

-Matt 6:20-21

In My Lord's Garden

My heart yearns for Your sacred grove.

Longing for the human-weight to be lifted.

Last year, in some brief hours,

Your step in the rhythm of my stride,

Every foot raised was my prayer for Your attention.

Come to me, come to me!

My song broke tears in the temple shadows,

The well of devotion, its caverns filled,

Its waters flowing over, sang along.

My heart burst

An awe-filled gratitude in my soul,

Your Holy Breath, meek upon my neck.

You humble me, Lord.
