Master

Righteous Wrath,
That long moments consumes me,
I choose not to be choked
When I’m the vessel of your choosing;
Rather, I command thee,

Righteous Wrath,
Run through my being
Purify
Correct Me
Take all the doubt
Banish all extraneous thoughts
And all the crooked objects
All that isn’t gentle and light
As is the flight of animals
That swim up into the starlit sky

Righteous Wrath,
Swallow one and ten, if necessary,
Of the few thousand days I have
Here (to walk the cosmic blue drop)
Until I see and I understand.

Righteous Wrath,
Humble Shadow,
True Friend, intimate and good,
Standing, burning yet benign, beside me,
Donning, in the mirror,
A beautiful scabbard of worn hide,
With a sunstone encrusted…
Stand Tall!
Unsilence all your attempts,
Whether kind or violent,
And drown me in the wave;
Cut deep into my ribcage
If I Betray Your Teachings
Of Compassion-
Don’t let me Breathe otherwise.

Better man in my soul
Make me worthy of the crown
Keep the Inner Eye Awake
Like a candle in the darkness

Young sage, who blinks and laughs,
I put no limit to your work,
Were it not for you I’d forgotten
The One Thing To Remember…
Through your dream I become
A satisfied spirit
And I pass the heart of gold along…

The Seed of Holy Anger,
Buried in the rich hummus our mother,
Germinates Today,

To Gaze plainly at the world,
For the time the Gods alloted
Will be gone and never return,

Righteous Wrath, move this rotting corpse.
