Goddess

Kali
this energy
that lives
as goddess
but not as a timid thing that shies away
from strong currents that rush on
wild and without restraint
not as a little shrinking violet
that blushes
not as a thing that can be played with
or taken casually in truth
because Kali is the life force
that is all
how can anything be set against this?

Kali
the one that is beautiful
and inherently compassionate
though most run from her
and she laughs as these ones
cannot get away from
her grace
that lives in all souls equally
and comes forward as maya
or kundalini
whatever the nature
it is only one
mother always...
