Mirror to our Soul

They seep thru’ our Skin,

these days and night of chant and

river side incense,

See the sandal? (Photo credit: izzyb412)

smeared with sandal-song

smeared with smoked ghee offerings

sacrifice and vow, hushed secret prayers

or bathed in naked sunlight,

our many sacred or

other things,

emptied bowls- poured out

rinsed sheets and spun mat

worn out armlets, like words

vows. breaking- free or

broken, or

sealed,

sinking in

sinking in the river

immersed in a billion footprints

around temples of stone

or flesh and blood and bone

all these, and more perhaps

mirror our soul

they mirror our Soul

what we crave,

where we are, or cease

or where we rise again,

they mirror

all
