Judgement
There are seven bowls
from which will you drink?
The first bowl holds nourishment.
The second bowl is insubstantial.
The third bowl holds
creative liquids reflecting
a silver crescent moon.
The fourth bowl holds
a silver and white woman;
the mother of all buddhas.
The fifth bowl holds
Siva as she dances in death.
The sixth bowl holds
the incarnation
of the Great Mother in the waves.
The seventh bowl holds
ten thousand things
of transcendant wisdom.
Now, from which of these
will you choose
to stem from?
For the time is now before you.
