Bengali Tola

She runs

With utter abandon
She runs

Gangly limbs
All astrewn
Head rolled back
Now lolling
Side to side

She runs

Only for the joy
It seems
Of running
Down Bengali Tola

And as my camera
Finally finds her

She finds me

Sun rising
Behind mountain peaks
I dream myself
Waking into dawn
Into light

Light comes
Driving air
Down the valley
Clearing atmosphere
Of smoke and mist

Ohm, I sing
Into heart
Into center
Into spirit

There is a golden heart
At the centre of my everything
Though oft obscured
Sometimes forgotten

I call for it
In times of need
Or if too dark
It calls on me

It guides me true
Though rarely easy
But I know my path
When e’er I follow

My golden heart

This snowy shroud
On the sand
This crystal air
In my lungs
This layered cloud
Filters sun
This pristine world
Silent land

I feel my heart
Thrum in my chest
I feel the heat
Within my soul
I feel the beat
Of wordless rhyme
I am complete
Connected time

Tossed by the storm
While the cyclone raged
Inside my heart
Inside my mind
Circling ’round
The centre

My spirit
My soul
The eye
Of my
Being

I searched and searched
For hearts of gold
Burdened by
My leaden heart

Such sweet gift I proffered
To other souls
None taking

I wish I was
A bigger man
A brighter heart
A gentler hand

But every time
I find a wall
Which limits me
And makes me small

I push it back
A little way
Become a bigger
Man that day

in the tangle of

      possibility
          options
        choices
    consequence

that is life

     it can be difficult
          to find the branches
            which lead to the light

I keep in my heart
In my mind
In my spirit

The possibility
Of the impossible
