More from Yogaland”

Green-Eyed Goddess

“What are the attributes of Green Tara?”

A big voice boomed,

And when I woke I looked longingly,

Into her open face.

What does Divine Mother mean to me?

I feel her in my cells,

I hear her in our voices buzzing

Om Namah Shivaya.

My lotus heart tears open,

Yearns and longs to know You-

Sparkling Green Goddess, Tara,

What dost thou mean to me?

I am a child,

You cover me

With a butterfly’s wing,

And I float in the bliss of Brahmic pools.

But a voice says,

“It’s just sensations.

Show me something permanent

And then I will believe.”

The Jealous Goddess offers me a lotus

The colour of a Truthful throat,

And in the centre is an earthy pink spiral

That has no end. Oh! My essence;

Precious jewel,

“Keep Her polished and sparkling

In service to that greater Jewel.

That All may sparkle everywhere.”

Just as suddenly, I get wrong-sided

By murky confusion, tricksy emotions,

Crackling mysteries of the deep,

Other-worldly fish.

Change! I saw a light and in the centre was a black (W)hole.

It is ancient and All is created there.

A black vagina

Surrounded by light.

But I am re-minded:

“All is ever-changing.

Show me something permanent

And then I will believe.”
