What monstrosity dances in your head?
Wake up and realize that it still hurts.
Calm the fire in your heart, your head and your loins
You burn yourself and others
You spontaneously combust
But take this unholy ash now and smear it on your forehead
Become the agori sadhu, naked in acceptance of the world
And feel the calm of the river for once.
Cherish the moment even as you feel the waves of disgust rolling in
Waves of discomfort cried to yourself so many times that it became as familiar a feeling as hunger
The waves will come but maybe peace will begin to feel familiar too
When you are born under Mars and burn with desire
And burn your desire till you blacken your heart
Peace…does not come easy.
Peace does not come easy
But fire will try to burn like a gentler flame.
And maybe peace will begin to feel familiar too.
And you will befriend your monstrosity again
Teach it a better way to live
A calmer step to dance
And you will be fine again.
