The fabled range
Faded in the distant haze
Peaks too far to reach today
More this:
The journey here
Intends to scale
The mountains of
My inner life
In these foothills, at Rishikesh
More this:
The journey here
Intends to scale
The mountains of
My inner life
In these foothills, at Rishikesh
I drink it in
This perfection
This preternatural beauty
My spirit soars
My arms outstretched
Imagining, I’m a hawk in the wind
Each a mystery
Each a surprise
Some a shock
Some a delight
Light comes
Driving air
Down the valley
Clearing atmosphere
Of smoke and mist
Ohm, I sing
Into heart
Into center
Into spirit
Ganga, take me down
Down to distant sea
Where I become the drop
Which is, itself, the sea
And learn eternal peace
In oneness with the One
And then
On some glorious sunset evening
I see the world in silhouette
And understand how
We are all the same
