Elusive Trails

for hope

desperate, clinging to nothingness
all is lost
unyielding pain is the norm
tragic beyond recognition
memories replaced by shadows
forgotten dreams of an unrealized present
the borrowed blade finds its way
the bloodletting hastens
the wound never heals
grief, pain, suffering

Devastating Revelation

. . .

Recorded in 2015

Lyrics from a poem by Swami Vivekananda

KALI THE MOTHER

The stars are blotted out,
    The clouds are covering clouds,
It is darkness vibrant, sonant.
    In the roaring, whirling wind
Are the souls of a million lunatics
    Just loose from the prison-house,
Wrenching trees by the roots,
    Sweeping all from the path.
The sea has joined the fray,
    And swirls up mountain-waves,
To reach the pitchy sky.
    The flash of lurid light
Reveals on every side
    A thousand, thousand shades
Of Death begrimed and black —
    Scattering plagues and sorrows,
Dancing mad with joy,
    Come, Mother, come!
For Terror is Thy name,
    Death is in Thy breath,
And every shaking step
    Destroys a world for e'er.
Thou "Time", the All-Destroyer!
    Come, O Mother, come!
Who dares misery love,
    And hug the form of Death,
Dance in Destruction's dance,
    To him the Mother comes.
