scythe of knowledge

kali is not having any mind

to her, 

the *one* is what is true 

and when the mental waters 

are not still

she will be what haunts you 

with a sting 

she will be what calls to you

in your dreams that are 

made only of emptiness

she will put more 

(delusion) out there
or cut the imaginary ego

to bits with her scythe of knowledge
(if the heart is surrendered)
then she will live

in quietude (like she always does)

as the 

gem of greatest worth

when she is like this in your soul

there is no more suffering

there is nothing more to do or say

or know 

for the one has risen strong and enduring 

like the mantra that has dissolved into 

the source 

or the ray that drowns in the sun

or the wave that dies in the ocean

then there is strength in being 

then there is strength in light 

then there is strength in grace 

there is nothing that can shake this kind of peace 

that burns of it's own source 

as a fire that needs no fuel 

burning

burning 

in pure consciousness
