Notes About The Poem

Praising Kali--Mythology

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.
