Prayer to Kali
Prayer to Kali
Every seeker treads
a different path.
Some call out names
and worship forms,
images of deity
that speak to them
at deep levels.
Others dispense with
all external things,
yet have taste
and feeling
of the god-being
entering within.
Oh, Kali, when you come
do not take my
breath away
too suddenly.
Do not make my heart
beat too fast,
like a locomotive
gaining speed
as it departs.
Do not ravage me
with joy,
cause me
to forget
who I am.
