Song of My Mother

I have imagined my Mother,

Rising of the green horizon rim

Flowing immensity encompassed

Arms of multi-form

ringing heavenward arc

as prismed thunderheads and

sky, sun-fused-blue.

Mother, this boon

You spin through the ether

To mist perception’s cry.

(Mother), though I may wait

Beyond conception’s end

(Mother I shall have You)

As the searing Awe

Shattering the bounds

of desire hewed self.

Mother, I shall have You, to worship You.

Aum Kali …Aum

(Circa ‘80)
