Sunset: including Invocation to Kāli काली

[Baut Images: Sylvan Lake Sunset]

Sunset.
Sun is setting.
Sun is setting fire.
Sun is setting fire to the Earth.

I am the fire
that burns through
the tree limbs
of late October.

Come Kāli oh goddess of time and change

I am the celestial fire
and I am here
having traveled the waves of time
from space to space.

Come Kāli and dance the Dance of Ages

I am the fire
and Sword of Kāli
that burns and purifies
everything into the Satya Yuga.

Come Kāli and right the wrongs of humankind

I am the celestial fire
that strikes down the hatred
and fear and violence
purifying them with raw white heat.

Come Kāli and shape the Earth anew

I am the fire
that burns through
the tree limbs
of early April.

Sunset.
Sun is setting.
Sun is setting fire.
Sun is setting fire to the Earth.

"Let it burn while I cry...
Let it burn...
Let it burn..."


Stop the fear...
Stop the abuse...
Stop the violence...
Stop the insanity...

Miranda


[Baut Images: Tiny Dancer (Ebony Jewelwing)]

They call her Miranda
she's a tiny dancer
flitting from floor to floor.

She dances and whirls
Priouettes and twirls
floating like a cloud on the air.

The audience claps
as she ends her act
then starts up again, anew.

This time she's faster
as silver flashes
up around, then down to the ground.

But none hardly see
as her daggers she sheaths
and puts them well out of sight.

For who'd ever know
from Miranda's warm glow
that she had another agenda.
