i have come to believe in an astral rain void of pain, sand-washed and bathed in chain; from woodlands birthed. empty hollow and arrow pierced navel sever nurturing swallow bond, still as kundalini pond - forgotten is this soul's bold pyre. for distant fire closer now than e'er regret older than thought which never, alive in silence came - bolder taught and brighter. my autodidact spirit lost; some western breadth now more to east no cost no woman nor man or beast in ahimsa feast.
