Incense burning to unravel third eye Within shaman’s kohl flame, there lies the key My life embossed in a mystical sky - Oh dear goddess Kali, come twirl with me. Within shaman’s kohl flame, there lies the key Pathways to light grow dark, spill rubies near Oh dear goddess Kali, come twirl with me, Let vines of starlight cross this world sincere. Pathways to light grow dark, spill rubies near Slaying phantoms of scorn in haunted caves, Let vines of starlight cross a world sincere That birthing of lotus seed warms the waves. Slaying phantoms of scorn in haunted caves Come, rise upward to hearten all as one; That birthing of lotus seed warms the waves Illumine eyes of dawn, from Kali’s sun. Arms curling up to hearten all as one My essence kindles the fired coals to glow, Illumine eyes of dawn, from Kali’s sun Where vows of eternity you bestow. -------------------- In Hindu mythology, Kali is the cyclic Goddess of life, death, and rebirth.
