Summer rains
wash away
the past
swirling eddies
wrinkles on the
face of time
engulf the flooded streets
flush down drains
into helpless, toothless oblivion
Yesterday so festive
bright and gay
transformed into the blackened wick
of an extinguished
birthday candle

at my fluctuating image
undaunted
Swami

soft, supple skin and rockabilly curly hair

This is truth
absolute fact
Lord of Time, the Cosmos
everything that was, is and will be
promise me one boon
Heaven, hell and earth

when the dust and ash settles
and fresh winds blow
across another dream wave
forming
All is not lost
This is my wish upon Your star
I must never forget
by no means
without exception
ever lose awareness
of You
Beautiful God
