Despite the Preachers
Saturday, September 9th, 2006Despite the preachers,
never criticize yourself
or others
on account of desire
The most hated desire
is nothing but divinity
seeking its
inevitable return
At the feet of the one
who opens the gates,
make an offering
of your weak cravings
Then learn
the real Tantrik way
as human dimensions expand
and reveal
their warrior talent
for longing
Muladhara swells
with Spring’s force
ready to begin
The waters of
natural eagerness
overflow at swadhisthana
Manipura’s vajra sun
joins heaven and earth
in the gravity of fire
The wisdom of
anahata’s objectless longing
challenges separations that uphold
mere anguish
Vishuddhi calls,
pierced with cold
and aching,
to the company of realized ones
And ajna splits
skulls of both
the living and the dead
demanding an end
to all perceived limitation
Stop and sit
with warrior firmness
in the streams of
everyday wanting
Relax the gates, and
around and within,
the torrent will grow
Let longing sweep you toward
the all-encompassing dimension
where movement
and stillness,
chaos
and light,
desire and
vajra pride
abide as one
at home
