My days are numbered...
the body casts a shadow
penumbra
across the lustrous face
of Time
Soon I will fall,
silent pendulum
prostrate
into Your celestial arms
Swamiji
a Lotus petal
drifting down from heaven
Swollen tears crash against
riverbanks
golden fish swim in limpid, rippling
black iris pools of my eyes
And the wild throbbing of
my soul
cannot contain
this love that
soars unfettered, undying
perpetually
towards...
You

Dear Swamiji,
How I miss you
Since you've gone away
I know you are in a better place.
How can I begin to describe
How much you have meant to me
Your calm voice
Your touch
You have been my father
You have been my mentor
You have been my friend
I am a grateful recipient
Of your unconditional love
You have been my spiritual guide.
You have taught me relaxation
You have taught me meditation
You have initiated me into the Tradition
You have taught me Yoga Nidra.
Thought your 83 year old body
Was wracked by illness
You never suffered
And you always had an easy smile on your face
My last lesson, which is how to alleviate my suffering
Was never completed
And now you are not there
To teach me.
Not in corporeal form, anyway
You spoke of Will and it's a Koan
I have not found a resolution to
You have forgiven all my many flaws
You have forgiven all my mistakes
I have have been filled with plenty of both
You never rejected me
Nor did you abandon me
I came across your teaching
At age 19
And then studied with you directly
For 20 glorious years.
And for 33 years I have benefitted
From your sacred words.
Somewhere a lotus flower
Grows in the mother Ganges.
It is blooming for you
And bears silent witness
To the legacy of your life
Death has not set us apart
You will live in my heart forever
Truly, you will be the jewel in the Lotus
And i will continue the work.
I will continue to study your teachings
And I will live the way you have lived
To the best of my ability.
Dear Swamiji, I love you and I miss you

My heart is a celestial bedroom
where my Lord hastens unto me
I have placed a garland of stars
around his neck
and pierced His ears with the honey moon
His skin is anointed with the
fragrance of Love
and His feet are the only pillows
my head cares for
when He smiles my life finds
inner meaning and dances about
like a giddy lovestruck maiden
drunk on His holy name
